Droid Life: Over the weekend we got a hold of the commercial slides and scripts for the new batch of Motorola Droid 2 and Droid X commercials that are slated to run as we get closer to launch next month. After reading the scripts on these slides, you get a great feel for the level of power plus the new user experience you can expect from these 2 devices. You should really be excited after reading these.
Looking at its screen, the Motorola Droid Turbo 2 will not bowl you over with its beauty. Itβs got a forehead like Peyton Manning, sideburns like Gen. Ambrose Burnside, and a chin like Jay Leno. But thereβs so much more to design than aesthetics, and the phoneβs marquee feature is an impressive bit of engineering: the screen is shatterproof. Drop it over and over and over againβface down, corner down, behind the back, under the legβwithout fear. Trust me on this. I passed it around a bar full of people in various states of drunkenness and encouraged them to try it. The phone survived.
Engadget - Android 2.3 hit the web for Droid X owners earlier this week, but that update previously required a tethered, manual install. As of today, the update is available over the air, so cable-free purists can finally start cooking with Gingerbread on their Droid X handsets.
Verizon, now well behind the game on it's premiere dual-core device as compared with AT&T, will officially launch the Droid X² - It's first dual-core handset - at $199 with contract, if normal discounting is to apply to the official full retail pricing we've picked up.
Holy crap... $199 contract... Lived outside the U.S for two years here in the UK my x10 is probs 40 something pounds so what would this be 50-60 pounds a month?
This is a device-only cost. Your monthly contract payment would be something entirely different.
that is a rip off, not because of the price, but because this phone is a cut and paste of the original but just with a tegra 2 SoC, no 1GB ram, no 1080p recording(as far as i no), no qhd screen etc, motorola could have brought a real contender against the GS2, but this just falls near the optimus X2 range, good but no quite there yet
Interesting. Verizon is always tight-lipped about their new phones.
