This phone looks amazing, and with all the problems the iphone 4 is having with the way people hold them, and the bars/reception issue, I think Droid X is gonna be huge. I think a lot of Apple iphone lovers are going to jump ship to Droid as well.
I have a corp exchange email. Does the Droid 2.1 OS allow for remote wipe and / or password protection? Article says it does but I’ve been reading that wont be out until 2.2 is available. Help…
Despite of some design issues and a couple of missing features, the Motorola Droid wireless phones are the most powerful and fastest Google Android device to date. It fully embraces the openness of the Android platform and offers Verizon customers a smartphone that certainly rivals the other touch-screen devices on the
market.
The Droid 2 has been very well received with a physical QWERTY keyboard and Android 2.2, therefore a similar device running the latest Google operating system is extremely desirable. Also the solid 3G connectivity is more than sufficient for web surfing and keeping in-touch with social networks.
