Posted on 21. Aug, 2010 by John.

Motorola Droid X initial thoughts
Posted on 07. Jul, 2010 by John.
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.
