Motorola DROID X to come with some nice pre-loaded apps

As we await the unveiling of the Motorola DROID X MB810 next week in NYC on June 23rd, we're hearing that the Android device will come pre-loaded with some additional apps out of the box. A few of these include one for Blockbuster on-line (which we also saw on the HTC HD2), as well as the popular SWYPE on-screen keyboard, an FM Radio (which is news to us), Motorola Phone Portal, Skype, Backup Assistant, City ID, Motorola DLNA, Visual Voice Mail, and even Verizon's 3G Mobile Hotspot. With the Mobile Hotspot app (that is also on the Verizon Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus) you can connect up to 5 other Wi-Fi devices to the phone, which will use data over Verizon's EVDO Rev A network, though there's no word yet if it will be free (like it is on the Palm devices) or will incur the original price of $40/month.

Thanks to a friend for the info!

guess cheaper service and basically the same network arent good enough reasons

Cheaper service? You have to pay an extra 10 dollars a month for 4G which only a handful of people can actually use.

Basically the same network? Really? You should do stand up.

Tell me where Sprint has the exact (EXACT) same coverage map as Verizon, I will switch tomorrow. Not here in my parts, son...get your facts straight. The Evo to Sprint is like driving a Lamborghini on doughnuts and being told you can never put real tires on the car...not cool.

I'm sorry to say but that extra $10 fee is in fact to pay for 4G service even if it is not in your area. The fact that you do not know this is proof you have been living under a rock the past several months. Even the CFO from Sprint came out and expalined why the fee is being charged for Anyone who purchased an Evo. His reason basically was to help cover the cost of the new 4G technology aswell as it's ability to consume larger amounts of data. I Usually don't ever agree with VZ bloggers but have to when they are right.

This phone has everything the Evo has except the front camera and kickstand i live in an 4g city and its way faster than verizons 3g..cnt wait to see wat type of UI they put on it its gonna be hard to beat sense UI

I have the Sprint EVO and Verizon Incredible. Sprint has the ability to share ALL towers with VZW. If Sprint will not get a signal, they roam for free on VZW. So TECHNICALLY they have the same coverage.

And with that $10 extra dollars, it's still cheaper than Verizon, as well as having uncapped data usage with either 3 or 4g, unlimited GPS through either Telenav or Google, unlimited texting, and unlimited mobile to mobile calling with any carrier. Good for Verizon for having a competing phone though. Competition is best for everyone, first and foremost the consumer.

wow, imagine if you were all together in a locked room/cage - it would be like BRAWL on WWE....

Yes and I love it! Finally some real Android on Android action. It's usually all the Android phones vs Apple. I can't say Im not enjoying this.

Umm so does this come tommorow the 19th or the 24th? If so do you think i could buy it like for 500 dollars at the verizon store quickly and go to verizon and pick one up then go to camp and activate it and stuff. lol i want it and i keep track of my stuff carefully so...?

The Droid (1) has an FM radio chipset. WHY could they not enable that in the Froyo update is beyond me.

17. vzw fanman posted on 18 Jun 2010, 20:47 0 0

why do you want fm radio when you have iheart radio?

15. Dark Asgard posted on 18 Jun 2010, 20:28 0 0

Maybe they will?

yea but its still 3G so that means it sucks.. 4G is coming out just before Xmas and way nicer phones with the 4g net work you can take out your Sim card and have any 4G phone to work with it so you can change around from any 4G phone cools

you guys are all idiots, the evo is the most bad ass phone currently on the market and im using 4g right now... its awesome... untill your plans offer comparable service and data speeds anywhere close to 4g for anywhere even close to the same type of pricing, you cant talk. Im sure once you get 4g youll pay much more money.... good luck
