Sprint / Motorola Event on June 9th [Piet Mondrian Themed Dual-Core?]

, May 25th 2011 Discuss [0]

We and the rest of the press of the world including Android Community have just been invited to an event in New York hosted by Motorola and Sprint. This event, given the brands attached to it, will certainly play host to a new device manufactured by Motorola and carried by Sprint – but that’s all we know. We can certainly make some educated guesses, on the other hand, and several guesses as to what we’ll be seeing is just what we happen to have. First of all, it’s been said that a re-branding of the DROID X2 is on the way with the name Photon 4G attached to it, carried by Sprint. Seem reasonable?

Droid X2 Unboxing and Hands-on [vs. Droid X]

, May 20th 2011 Discuss [12]

It must be the day for 4.3-inch qHD Android smartphones: first the HTC Sensation, and now Verizon’s DROID X2 by Motorola. The second-gen handset sticks closely to what made its predecessor a success, but will that undermine enthusiasm for upgraders? Check out our first impressions after the cut.

Verizon’s DROID X2 just DROID X with memory slash

, Mar 9th 2011 Discuss [3]

Looks like Motorola's Verizon DROID X2 isn't the powerhouse update we were hoping for. An anonymous tipster from SCK Kiosks - a Radio Shack subsidiary - sent our sibling site Android Community a screenshot suggesting that rather than a wholesale update, the Verizon DROID X2 was in fact a new SKU of the original DROID X with a 2GB memory card pre-installed rather than a 16GB card.

ProClip USA outs Droid X specific holders and docks for vehicles

, Oct 21st 2010 Discuss [0]

A long time back I had ProClip send me out some clips specifically made to fit the Ford Mustang. The way the clips mounted meant that the holder for my iPhone fit into the car just like Ford made it. I loved the clips and the company makes them specifically to fit just about any car on the market today. Read The Full Story

Motorola Droid X for Verizon Android 2.2 Update Getting Pushed to Devices Tomorrow

, Sep 21st 2010 Discuss [1]

It looks like Motorola and Verizon were able to stick to their guns on this one, and have gone through the paces to provide the update to Android 2.2, better known as Froyo, for the Motorola Droid X before the end of the third quarter. The update is scheduled to start rolling out to owners of the Droid X beginning tomorrow, and as most Over the Air updates go, this one will also be a staggered roll out. However, Verizon is quick to point out that you don't necessarily have to wait. Read The Full Story

Verizon DROID X gets rooted

, Jul 22nd 2010 Discuss [1]

It's only just been on sale for a week - and has spent the past few days out of stock - but already the Motorola DROID X has been rooted.  The handiwork of Droid X Forums, the root looks to be a relatively straightforward twelve-step process; the bootloader is still locked down, however, and Motorola certainly hasn't made it easy to install third-party ROMs. Read The Full Story

Droid X Review

, Jul 7th 2010 Discuss [36]

Motorola’s first-generation DROID shook HTC’s dominance of the Android segment and arguably reinvented the company after years of tired RAZR variants. Now, after a spate of low- to mid-tier Android devices, the company has unveiled their next high-end smartphone. The Motorola DROID X, again on Verizon Wireless in the US, scales up the screen, the camera and the processor, while simultaneously slimming down in the hand; it also faces strong competition from HTC, Samsung and others. Has Motorola done enough second-time around? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Tonight's a bit of a phone night, and we really can't explain why. But, as you know, it happens. But, in any event, welcome to the eve of the rest of the week. In tonight's edition of The Daily Slash, tucked away in The Best of R3 Media, we've got what HTC calls plans for the future of Android and HTC Sense, the coolest ceiling fan in the history of ceiling fans, and the Droid Incredible's (shocker) been pushed back again. And then in the Dredge 'Net, scientists have created a ridiculously strong battery, the original Kindle patent spells doom and gloom for the competition, and some lucky Droid X pre-orderers are getting their devices early.

DROID X teardown caught on video

, Jun 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

We don't know about anyone else, but we can't help but hear the endearing robot from Short Circuit squealing "No disassemble Johnny 5!" when we watch this video of the Motorola DROID X stripped from working handset to constituent parts.  Still, the handiwork of DroidX does at least show us what's happening inside Motorola's latest Android smartphone, and if you ever find yourself needing to replace the display or some other component then the walkthrough could be pretty useful.

Wednesday's seem to have a mind of their own. Seriously, they can just feel like they go on forever. That hump at the middle of the week can either be a great motivator, or something that just drags you down. Thankfully, considering the announcements and other pieces of news, today was definitely a good day. Welcome to The Daily Slash. Tonight, in the Best of R3 Media, we've got an expected release date for Froyo, we go hands-on with the Parrot AR.Drone, and US Cellular is getting a BlackBerry. And then in the Dredge 'Net, Xbox 360 won't play Zune music in the background, the Nintendo 3DS can do 3D video chat, we've got a huge yacht. Read The Full Story
