Verizon's Q3 Droid Line - Droid Ultra General

Droid Ultra, Droid MAXX, Droid Mini, and last but not least, the Moto X!
The Moto X won't be a Droid on Verizon, since Motorola wants to keep it as close to a Nexus as possible.
My Droid 4 has been a workhorse, but I think either the Droid Ultra or Moto X will be my next phone.
Any thoughts on this?

My only thought is "No hardware QWERTY keyboards".

Lol, probably should've expected that in this forum
I understand that a qwerty keyboard is amazing, but I understand why many OEM's are ditching them to get thinner phones

I don't.
I don't see much in the moto lineup that is bringing anything new to the table in as far as the same sort of thing is available from Samsung, HTC, etc. If the Moto X could have a back cover you could remove, and attach a QWERTY keyboard slider instead, then I might be a bit more interested. Choosing the colour, or etching, or whatever? Big deal.

Well there are reports of Motorola dropping in a camera technology called 'Clear Pixel', something that's new to smartphones. If the Moto X doesn't impress, then I probably will be heading to the Droid Ultra

what's this about the double locked bootlaoders? Also, where's the qwerty?

If you're prepared to lose the hardware keyboard, may as well just get an HTC One or Galaxy S4 or something.
Personally I don't see the need for thinner and thinner phones. Whenever I handle my GF's Galaxy S3 I'm always afraid it will snap if I'm not really really careful with it.

Also, thicker phone means bigger battery, and seeing how there is nothing in the near future that will allow us to squeeze more power into a smaller space, it would make sense
The battery is the biggest bottleneck in technology IMHO, whether it be phones, laptops, or even electric cars

I think with google buying motorola. I Dont feel like buy a new device anymore. So droid razr m and droid 4 are my last phone from them. It started in 2011 when google told motorola probably to lock the backdoor from their device with razr. Motorola took dedicated button for shutter camera unlike 2010. Last year it was probably because of google that moto choose to lock the sd card and micro sim card option in droid razr hd/maxx and m like the iphone like. Now this year no sd option.
Im not liking Google temparing with Moto as they are

This reviewer said that the Droid X has no flash player on the internet browser on the phone how is that possibile i thought they partner with Adobe? If that is True big L for the X and Verizon But anyways the is X is nice but not Evo nice
Yeah the Droid X looks like a pretty nice phone and all but I am still loving my Evo and still extremely happy with my choice.

People,
The more high powered great Android phones out there is a good thing. Let's not bash the Droid X but welcome it to the family. There is a reason there are 160k android activations per day and it's because Android gives people choice. Choice of carrier, choice of form factor, choice of manufacturer.

The Droid X has a lot more going on the accessories. That charging dock is pure sex, and the built-in charger for the car dock is a plus.

SO TRUE!! ANDROID FTW!!! ( as oppose to evo or x )
I want the panorama assist.
Someone should pull that from the X, and port it to the Evo.
Or even better make a port of Sweep, it's a lot better than motorola's program.
You'll never truly enjoy the great phone in your hands if you spend time comparing it to everything else. The Evo has great specs, a great look, 4G, and an unbelievable dev community. If there's a way to boost our graphics, they will make it happen.
Even now, I thoroughly enjoy using my phone. It handles everything I do very well. It's the best experience I've had with a phone. Easily. Bigger and better is always around the corner, but I see myself hanging onto this phone for a long time.

here is a post from BGR showing flash on the droid X
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/07/06/adobe-flash-droidx/
I think the Droid X looks like a great phone but I'm really in love with my EVO and wouldn't trade it for the world (or at least until HTC releases the follow-up possibly this Christmas). And spec-wise the EVO still kind of has the DX beat (as well as beauty).
I really love the Droid series though. I appreciate everything Verizon has done with the lineup and Android as a whole owes a lot to the Droid series for putting Android phones on the map. Their marketing is simply badassery! It makes me proud to see that it never fails that every time a Droid commercial comes on, everybody in the room pauses to watch. They really give Apple some fierce competition.

I agree. If it wasn't for verizon's marketing, no one but tech geeks would own andriod phones. That would be bad for the application market and choice of handsets.

Fanboys always make me smile
Whatever it takes to make yourself feel better about your purchase...
I was bit by the shiny new toy bug when I first heard about the Droid X but it didn't take long to go away LOL I really like the EVO alot better, It looks nicer, is smaller and has a way better UI than the Droid X not to mention we will have Froyo long before Motorola releases it
Maybe you'll have froyo long before the driod x, but don't count on it. Motorola is very quick about their os updates.
I don't know. After seeing what the XDA developer community can do with phones, I find it hard to stray to a brand other than HTC. I wish the dev community got a cut of my phone purchases, because their work entices me more than HTC ever has.

Droid X OR Vibrant?????

I will have a droid x tomorrow as it was a replacement. In the mean time I bought a vibrant. I love the V but I also love the X!
I know this is X forum but I also posted this in the V forums to see if anyone there had to make a choice like mine!
If you had to choose, which one and why? WHY did you choose the X?
i was going to go with a droid x but the 2 year contract is killing me.........so i was looking for gsm phones and stumbled upon the galaxy s i9000 (international version) and the t mobile vibrant...... don't get me wrong the droid x is great... but imo i prefer a gsm phone with rich features such as samsung phones...

Rich features of the Samsung phones? The GSM versions of the Galaxy S don't even have a camera flash. I think you need to look at what's best for you and fits your needs CDMA or GSGSM and feature sets your looking for. I personally have been surprised and impressed with the Droid X.

I like the S-AMOLED screen on my Captivate for the most part. I do NOT like that its a pentile matrix. But the colors are very good on it.
I was in a toss up over this phone or the Droid X. I thought the screen on the DX was pretty good too, seeing as it is a LCD with full resolution, so its going to be crisper and sharper. But Moto drove me off with the whole e-fuse crap.
If your even trying to compare the two it doesn't seem like it would add up to switch.
Both are awesome android phones. If you like 'a little' weight the X seems prefect. Honestly the screen is enough to not even consider anything else until something better appears better then the galaxy s line.
So what if it doesn't have flash? Most phones take horrible camera shots in night. Buy a point and shoot if you want a camera.
Wait until CM6 is on your S it will be better than anything for a while.

Here's what I posted in the vibrant forum for those that care...
Finally decided to go with the droid x.
The V has a nice screen and all but having BOTH phones on hand and messing with them the x just wins, for ME.
The 4.3 which looks like a true landscape screen is just awesome to me.
I also tried a game called raging thunder 2 and the X kicked the V's butt.
With the V it is VERY VERY hard to control the car, no matter how much I adjust the steering settings. Maybe the game needs to be updated to the v's processor, I dont know.
With the X the steering was amazing, and so much more FUN to play that game and others. I will say this, the V has a much better smoooothness in schrolling around the phone than the X. I also LOVE the camera flash on the X, takes great pics in the dead darkness.
Thanks for playing guys!
I am actually returning my Vibrant and getting a Droid X. I loved my Vibrant, the screen is the best of any phone I have ever seen and almost alone that made me keep it but T-Mobile's coverage sucks. Yes when you are on 3G in an HSPA+ market it is lightening fast but you lose 3G all over the place. I live in Houston and have lost 3G all over the city even when outside. I had Sprint before all of this and never realized how good their 3G coverage was until I tried T-Mobile.
I would have waited for the Fascinate but I have ultimately realized that the Droid X is superior to the Galaxy in every way except the screen. So will take the Droid X and maybe in the Spring there will be a 4G Samsung with a Super AMOLED phone on Verizon that can replace it.

The Galaxy's GPU is better. Also, the Galaxy has a 16gb version while the Droid x only has 8gb. Nothing major though.
I have the galaxy s (international version) only because I was able to purchase it before the Droid X came out. I was able to try the Droid x at my local wal-mart and I would be happy with either one.

Sorry, I meant to say superior in every way for my purposes. Yes the GPU is better but I am not getting my phone for games. I am sure there are many that would get more out of the Vibrant or Galaxy.

Download android sensor data. Open it. Then run that game again.. some reason the accelerometer is buggy bit if you run that it smooths it out.. and the 6 axis motion sensor is sweet...
The vibrant may have 16gb of internal memory but correct me if im wrong only 2gigs of that is for apps. Im pretty sure its that way with the other galaxy s phones and te droid x all 8gb is partitioned for apps.

Don't see a need for more than 2 gb for apps, but 16 gb for pics, movies and files easy and useful. ... I'd never use more than 2gb for apps...
and ultimately... the choice is really up to you. pick up the x and test it for <30 days.. then wait a couple of weeks and test the fascinate. however, once the 2.2 update hits the x (and droid1 and incredible at the same time..) the decision should be a bit easier =P

(Q) droid x or ....?

I'm with Verizon. Currently have the iPhone. Its garbage and wanting the droid x. I was just wondering what is the best phone with Verizon right now?
I'm in my 14 day trial so I'm debating on what phone I want.
I would suggest droidX if you are ok with touch keyboard, or droid 2, if you prefer physical keyboard. If you wait a couple of months, the droid X2 is due in the second quarter. I personally use droid x and it keeps me quiet merry. Large screen, great camera, fast enough and on and on...

The X is a great phone! It offers a bunch of great customization and a great team of developers that work on it. If you want to be able to TRULY run a custom ROM (custom kernel such as Cyanogen Mod) then the X may not be the phone for you at this time. Devs are still working on unlocking/bypassing the bootloader.
HTC generally makes some good unlocked phones as well. Not to dissuade you from the X, as I personally have one and love it.
1+ on both reviews. Coming from the Eris and 2 weeks now, very pleased. Haven't felt the need to root. (Waiting for cyanogen)
Just discovered its car dock/multimedia dock as another nice feature.
Good luck.

Having had all the iPhones, which I dumped after trying out Android last year... and having/tried/using MANY others I have not been happier with my X... It has the screen I want, built like a tank even with all that glass, speed is great, battery life is VERY impressive (Added the OEM EB), and it is just a solid device inside and out.
Yes, the "modding" is limited and I really thought I was going to miss that because I enjoy testing, creating, etc.... but it really hasn't bother me, my only need for it was to add functionality that I couldn't get, but thanks to Bootstrap and multiple tweaks and mods, I am perfectly happy.
My opinion... You won't regret the switch.
Yup its an excellent phone. With 4g coming around, there will be many more choices with better features. Theyll also come with a bigger price tag and more expensive plans. For now the x is plenty for me.
After having had both Droid X and 2... go with the X. You wont be disappointed!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The Droid X I don't think will disappoint. I like mine a lot. If you are shopping for phones you might want the Fascinate as well.
maybe wait a little while and go with the thunderbolt? im done with motorola because i want to make sure that the bootloader wont be locked beyond what is necessary anymore.

nexus 3 exist?=no
will there be a nexus tablet in future?=yes(already confirmed by google[rumored to be LG device )
will there be a next nexus phone? yes ofc.
but it will never be like one 2,3 anymore.
the HTC nexus was the only numeric version.and will stay
unless its referred to DEV phone(yes nexus S is not a DEV phone)
the continuer of the nexus line will stay(as it was in the beginning)
in this order."nexus-" "any brand/style name w/e"

I hit my back button on my ns once I read that part.
LOL nice article, but not really reliable, is it?
that guy just counts one and one together and tries to predict the next nexus?!
N1 had a 3.7" display, NS a 4.0", so the next one will get a 4.3"?!?! of course it's that simple!!!
so, whatever the next google phone will be, this article is of absolutely no value!
and even if it's not official, the motorola xoom is the first google-tablet. it is the reference product for honeycomb, runs stock android...so what else?
nah, i'm not gonna pay any mind to that. sure i wouldn't doubt a tegra 3, but he's just predicting the specs based off only TWO nexus models. 4.3" screen would be a good prediction as it's common these days, but to base it off the fact the n1 was 3.7, ns 4.0, is pretty lame.
Also, if google IS going to go with another manufacturer, i would bet LG before sony ericsson.
The only thing I will say is nexus 3 with tegra3 chip will be here in December and it seems LG is making it.

That's speculation. There was nothing flagship about the Droid X. Yes, the Droid X sold a lot of units. I think the original Droid was what skyrocketed Android into the market, though. Nothing flagship about either one though.

This is the correct name, not the X. It is a locked down & bloated POS.
The Flagship for Android has been the Droid Series due to the original Droid commercials. But after the original came out they went downhill locking bootloaders and giving the finger to Dev's.
I would personally like to think the G1 was a flagship, it sure turned me on as soon as it was unveiled.
IMO I think the Nexus tablet will have Tegra 3, and the Nexus 3 will have a second gen dual core processor!!
would love to see one
that may have been the us flagship but not world wide because they arnt nearly as big over seas

Yeah, I however am all right with the "to each their own" thingy and respect that too, but not for this case. All human beings have somewhat same kind of hand, I mean in size, yeah there are people with big hands, but I am talking from a general point of view here. It's like shoes, you get a new one every year or so, but do you keep getting a bigger size?
Human hands and it's size are a constant factor, unfortunately the mobile phone sizes are not! I find it soooooo weird!
I feel everyone here on the size issue. I had a Note 3, and the size was just to much. I did a great deal of research on what to buy, and the Moto X just kept coming up as a phone that had so, so many useful features. Don't get me wrong, the Note 3 came packed with features, but after a few months, many of them came off as gimmicky. I owned Sammy devices since the original Galaxy S (S2, S3, Note 3). Since having this nifty little device on my hands, I've never looked back. Motorola proved a well designed device is much more than what's under the hood, it's also how a manufacturer utilizes that hardware. The Galaxy line has always been well made and amply powered, yet I find the engineering and software design of the Moto X to be downright clever.

I'm a pretty new moto x owner as well (about a month), and the first thing I noticed around was that people liked to say how much they liked this phone; almost more so than I when I creeped with the Bionic crowd.
And I have to throw in my agreement. It's such a good feeling device. A friend loaned me an s4 while I had a trial X from moto for 2 weeks.
The s4 is a nice device with a great screen, but just a bit uncomfortable in my hand. And I couldn't get over the thin fragile feel of it.
In my opinion the X has a solid feel, I don't feel like it could break in my hand. At times I notice that it's a bit heavy of a phone, but that may be why it feels more solid as well.
