Motorola Droid X :OvervieW

Call it an iPhone killer—a device that makes the HTC EVO 4G shake in its boots. The Motorola Droid X is by far the most powerful Android phone we've tested to date, and our consensus is that it can't really get any better than this within the wide world of smartphones at the present moment. The Motorola Droid X for Verizon Wireless takes everything we loved about the original Droid and Droid 2, sheds the QWERTY keyboard, and pulls a Stretch Armstrong with the capacitive touch screen, giving gamers, movie junkies, and Internet addicts an expansive plain to swipe, tap, and pinch away on. Motorola also bulked up the camera, offering an 8-megapixel sensor with dual LED flash and 720p video. Does the image quality transcend the iPhone 4? You'll just have to read on to find out.

Design :

It's big and gawky. Don't expect the slim, refined chassis of a Samsung Captivate or beautiful architecture of an iPhone 4. The Motorola Droid X is tall and features a lip along its backside that leads to a protruding ledge where the 8-megapixel camera and dual LED flash dwell. On the plus side, the Droid X resides more along the rugged shores than most of the flimsy constructions we see in this genre of phone, like the Samsung Vibrant with its frail plastic back panel. The Droid X has a metal back hatch that contains the battery and 32GB capacity MicroSD card slot. The good news is that the Droid X comes with a 16GB Micro SD card and 8GB of internal memory. Unfortunately, the battery must be removed in order to access the MicroSD card. 

Battery Life :

More accolades go to the Motorola Droid X when it came to talking. The phone has three microphones, which specialize in noise cancellation; leading to a great performance that matched the best smartphones we've seen this year. Stellar Verizon coverage helped too, and we never experienced dropped calls or static. Compared to the Sony Ericsson X10 we just reviewed, the Droid X trounced all over it when it came to coverage and voice quality. Battery life, on the other hand, fell more in line with the Samsung Galaxy S phones. It wasn't great, but it was enough to last most of the day. While the Motorola Droid 2 exhibited the best battery performance of its ilk, that phone might be an avenue you'd want to take if you are heavy on the battery-sucking applications. 
Image/Video Quality :
Sadly, the Motorola Droid X did not have what it takes in the digital imaging department. With an 8-megapixel camera, we got a fairly sizable resolution for a smartphone, but not the quality to match. If you spend most of your time uploading your images to social networking sites, then the Motorola Droid X will be fine, thanks to its large resolution. However, the discerning photographer will not be pleased with the majority of images that are smeared with noise and lack sharpness. We also experienced discoloration in the form of blocky compression along contrasts and edges, so our experience was akin to the Motorola Droid 2's, aside from the fact that was had more resolution to play with. The camera interface was also not as user-friendly as the Samsung Galaxy S phones because there were a lot of steps to take in order to jump in and out of your favorite shooting mode.Simple things like Macro mode and Panorama took a while to select, and we found ourselves missing out on shots because of this. As far as the level of control the Droid X offered, that was one of its strengths, but the image quality just couldn't cut it.
