Motorola Droid X initial thoughts

Motorola Droid X initial thoughts

Posted on 07. Jul, 2010 by Jason Cipriani.

The Droid X has landed on my desk.  I have been using it for maybe 15 minutes.  A few first thoughts:

  • I didn’t expect it to be THIS big (TWSS).  It is almost overwhelming at first.  I am sure I will adjust to it after a few hours of use.
  • The screen looks great
  • The buttons fit the phone, don’t feel out of place.
  • Camera looks sharp

That is it for now, after 20 min of use I am getting use to the size (TWSS).  I will have a full review coming up in the next week.

Speck Fitted Case for iPad Giveaway!

Speck Products has been kind enough to give us 3 of the Speck Fitted Case for the iPad. There are a few different colors available and each Fitted Case comes with a screen protector. Normally valued at $49.95 you will have a chance to win the color of your choice simply by entering. I have been using this case for a week now and the only bad thing I can say about it is that it I can’t use the iPad dock when the case is on. It does a great job at protecting my iPad and making it comfortable to hold. Entering is easy. Simply leave a comment on this post, and you are entered. THREE of you will end up with a Fitted Case. Not too bad, right?

Do not comment more than once or you will be disqualified. Contest will end 7/11/2010 at 11:59pm PST. We will pick the lucky winners by comment number using random.org. Good luck to everyone!

With the purchase of nearly any device people are naturally going to want to protect their new investment. One of the ways to protect and increase signal quality your new iPhone 4 is to purchase a case. Case-mate has always provided quality cases for the devices we love and abuse for awhile now. With the iPhone 4, they are continuing that same tradition. The case-mate Vroom for iPhone 4 offers great protection and a unique design. The tire tread design on the back side of the case allows for a firm grip on the iPhone 4 and in case you do drop it the covers/corners are protected from those nasty dents and scratches. Along with the case case-mate provides you with screen protectors to help keep scratches to a minimum. You can pickup the iPhone 4 Vroom case from case-mate today for only $14.99. Well worth it in my eyes.
