X marks the spot for Motorola and Verizon

For those Verizon Wireless customers who considered splitting to Sprint for the EVO 4G, you might be glad that you stayed. The upcoming Motorola DROID X features a 4.4 inch screen with resolution of 854 x 480, topping the Sprint device by one tenth of an inch. The DROID X will come with a Blockbuster app standard and a new form of Motoblur on top of Android 2.1. The camera is 8MP with 720p video capture. Swype comes installed on the phone out of the box. Need we add that the handset is equipped with a 1GHz processor? This is going to be an interesting showdown between the DROID X, the EVO 4G and the iPhone 4. The DROID Incredible? That looks like it will be heading for the cutout bin when this Motorola drops. As we reported earlier, we could see that happen on July 19th. There still is a question about which version of Android will be on the DROID X at launch. While Android 2.1 has been the favorite, the fact that Adobe will be at the product's introduction next week makes it possible that Flash 10.1-and thus Android 2.2-will come on the handset at launch.

Personally i agree. I think this is somewhere between a phone and a tablet. It looks cool but just too freaking big for me.

this thing is also noticeably thinner than the Evo too if you look at Engadget's comparison. the Incredible might need to make 4 inches of extra space in that cutout bin.

No front camera or mobile hotspot feature? That 1 inch wont make an diffrence Evo still wins

Its not an extra inch bigger, its .1 inch bigger than the evo. The actual phone size looks way to big. I have the Evo and its just big enough, any bigger is just to have bragging rights. The Moto X does look good, but I have a horrible taste in my mouth from the crap they have made in the past. Ill stick with Sense UI.

scorpio, their android handsets so far have been great. their old crap sucks, their new crap rocks. cliq and droid and all their little variants have been good stuff. That looks like a great new flagship phone. I wish it were that thin with a keyboard though, that would be awesome.

ON the pix on Engadget it shows a screen shot of the app drawer with a mobile hotspot icon

I think you meant one TENTH OF AN inch in your article; 4.4 vs 4.3 inches.

Lol yea an tenth

Regardless of the size difference I want this phone pretty bad. I was really tempted into buying the incredible because of how similar the specs are turning out to be and i thought this might be a little big. But looking at it now this has turned into a must have.

This is nice but I'd rather have the Droid 2.

About 2 months ago i would have been with you, but this bad boy comes with Swype and Ive come to prefer it over all other keyboards including physical ones
