Motorola Droid X
Well, my Blackberry Storm is sitting idle in its own cradle; it’s man-genius click-screen days are all over. It has been replaced by a smarter phone, Droid X. I won’t bore you with all its technical details charms, but highlight only the things I find of interest. And there are a lot of things of interest to me already, even after only a couple of hours of use.
Gad, it comes with a lot of memory. There is 8gb internal and a 16gb removable microSD. And you will find lots of ways to use that storage once you visit the Market app and try to weed through the apps, games, and other cool things to add-on. Speaking of which, I already installed Adobe Reader, Labyrinth Lite, RingTone, and Touchdown Pro. Labyrinth is the cool show-off 3D marble maze game, just because it is. Touchdown is a (great) Microsoft Exchange client that simply works and is simpler to configure. The built-in messaging integration to my personal IMAP and Gmail accounts take care of the rest.
While it has an HDMI output jack, I found its built-in Media Share to be a perfect companion with my Sony Playstation 3. Droid X autoconnects to my home’s wireless router, discovers and allows for the PS3 to connect to it for streaming media (music, pictures, video) out of it for high-def viewing. This will make the 8mp camera more friendly to use with this kind of easy integration of media files.
Overall, light to handle, touch is responsive, speech-to-text is accurate, apps are fast and intuitive, screen is large and vivid. My phone just got a lot smarter — cool!
