The highly anticipated Droid X smartphone from Motorola debuted today on Verizon Wireless. The Droid X sports high-speed Web browsing; a fast 1GHz processor; 3G Mobile HotSpot capabilities; 8GB of memory; 8-megapixel camera; HD camcorder; and DLNA and HDMI connectivity to download, stream and share personal HD content.
“Nine months ago, we made a commitment to our customers to bring the openness of Android to the Verizon Wireless network,” said John Stratton, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless. “Since then, we have introduced the top-selling Android phone in the marketplace today – the DROID by Motorola. DROID X takes that commitment to another level with exclusive content, faster processing speeds, and, of course, the reliability of our network.”
The Droid X can also rent and buy movies from Blockbuster that play at 800-by-480 resolution on the phone’s screen. A newly-updated NFL mobile app on Verizon Wireless will stream live games to the phone, and V CAST Video will provide other TV clips to choose from as well.
“Motorola designed DROID X to push the extreme limits of Android innovation, and enable you to do even more with your mobile device. We are breaking down barriers so that you can experience the Web the way it was meant to be and create, share and view content like never before, either in your hand or in your home. Enterprise users will also find DROID X appealing with features including push e-mail and live widgets for e-mail and calendar updates.”
