From Htcyou: So much for that griped about locked bootloader preventing root access to the ROM, the Motorola Droid X has been rooted, so owners no longer have to be forced into using everything that has been thrown into the stock Moto ROM. The embedded video takes you through the process of performing the root. More »

From Htcyou: So much for a July 15th launch, impatient Verizon is so excited about its Motorola Droid X that more than a few blessed buyers have received theirs in the mail.

Motorola’s Droid X is stirring quite a ruckus among smartphone connoisseurs and is bound to be a big seller for Verizon.

From Htcyou: In one of the tests (Linpack), the Nexus One has an unfair advantage over the Evo 4G and Motorola Droid X because Google’s machine is running Android 2.2, which we all know is a performance whore.

From Htcyou: About 3 weeks before its launch, the Motorola Droid X has been dismantled for your viewing. Unlike the iPhone 4 leak, there is little chance of controversy here because (a) Motorola is nowhere near as secretive as Apple, (b) the Droid X, as coveted as it is, will never approach 15% of the iPhone 4’s sales, (c) Motorola has already announced and leaked the product, so it was not stolen or “found,” although I highly doubt that Moto has authorized this teardown.

From Htcyou: The Motorola Droid X has been given a thorough hands-on tour, and the Android 2.1 smartphone features a special and new type of Motoblur GUI. Contrary to the misleading commercial slides leak wording, the Droid X does not have a 720p or a 720 PPI screen; regardless, the 4.4-Inch (854×480 same as the Droid) display appears to be stunning. On June 23rd, Verizon, Google, and Adobe are hosting an event in New York to unleash “the next generation of Droid.” One can presume that the Droid X, along with Flash 10.1 will be showcased. More »

From Htcyou: The 1Ghz chip inside the Motorola Droid 2 may not be the Snapdragon but could be something even faster. These leaked commercial slides that could become real advertisements for Verizon indicate that the Droid X (Droid Xtreme) sports a 4.3″ 720p display! More »
