I just yesterday finally got my new phone. It’s the Droid X by Motorola, and it’s my first 3G smart phone. I figured I would give my quick thoughts on it, and what better way to do that than using the phone itself to write this post? First off, it’s an Android phone, though as far as I am aware, the new Froyo update is not available yet for the device. Not that I really care, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference anyways since I just got it.
Previously I’ve only had experience with the iPhone/iTouch OS, so Android is something new for me. But back to the device…
It has a huge screen at 4.3 x 2.sumthin inches, which my abnormally large fingers love. At first my biggest concern was the fact it has no keyboard. Due to my previously mentioned fingers I usually need some sort of QWerty keyboard. However, as you can see it’s actually a bit of a non-issue because of the large screen.
The camera is 8 megapixels and takes HD video. The camera is pretty good for a phone, though I won’t be throwing out my standalone camera (if i had one).
All in all it’s pretty great, an i’m already being converted to the Android… which is saying something, cause for a long time I supported the iPhone OS. I have faith in Google and Android, and the openness of the Android OS is something I totally dig.
Happy Trails and Namaste,
Sam.
