Droid 
Verizon and Motorola have teamed up yesterday to announce the new Android smartphone – Motorola Droid X. Main features of the handset include:
- Display: 4.3-inch display with resolution of 854 x 480
- Processor: TI OMAP3630 1GHz,
- Misc: HDMI out
- Camera: 8 megapixel with dual LED flash and 720p video capture
- Storage: 8GB of onboard storage with expansion of up to 32GB (you get a 16GB card in the box)
- Operating System: Android 2.1 with an all-new UI skin
All of his is stuffed in a package 9.9mm thick. Software wise, Droid X features an integrated mobile hotspot with support for up to 5 devices connected over WiFi, DLNA support, and a legit multitouch keyboard with Swype technology. It won’t launch with Android 2.2 Froyo, but that will come later this year as an upgrade along with Flash 10.1 support. The phone will be available in the US on July 15 for $199.99 on contract after rebate, while the mobile hotspot service will run $20 extra a month with a 2GB cap and 5 cent per MB overage (data consumed on the phone itself is unlimited). Mirroring AT&T’s move with the iPhone 4, all Verizon customers with upgrade dates in 2010 will be pulled up so they are eligible for the new Droid X as soon as it’s available.
