Motorola DROID X User Reviews

This is a great phone for it's time but, now that it has been two years, the Droid x cannot keep up. This phone has a great screen. Very nice contrast and the text is easily read. One of the cons of this phone are minor battery issues.The back casing can easily slip off and the battery life is not great but not that bad either. I just wish I could go One day without charging this bad boy. The SD card was definitely a mistake. Horrible placing nonetheless. The buttons will start to wear out if you do not take care of this phone. If anything this would be a great "practice phone." It's not expensive and an okay smartphone. I would recommend this phone to a 13 year old. I'm enjoying it so far but I just found out The SD card makes this phone freeze up exponentially! Remember, this is not a flagship device anymore. It's sole purpose was to never drop a call and it does an amazing job at that.

I use to throw this phone 30 feet on concrete and it still didnt break. It was great in its time. I wish they made this phone with a snapdragon 800 processor and a 1080 display. 4g is a a must have. 3g is so slow compared to 4g.

I had this phone for about a year and a half before I finally got the Samsung Galaxy S3. I had so many problems with this phone. It always crashed, the battery started dying after only a year, the SD card died within nine months, etc.

So far I love my Droid X it does everything I want and more. Plus I got the phone for $ 30.00. Who needs an iPhone when you have got a DROID X that does everything and more but cost way less. Way to go Moto!!! My got the Samsung Fascinate for $30.00 too and I like it but it doesn't have the sturdy build my DROID X has. The next thing I will get will be the charging station for it and car adapter.

the Droid X is a very good android phone, it is a great example of how a phone should be in terms of construction and operation. Motorola did a great job in putting the OMAP3 in and a 8mp camera and the gorilla glass with a aluminum body around the screen. they phone is solid and has a ideal weight to it, without the bulky body.

I love this phone. If it had a hardware keyboard, it would be nearly perfect. Battery life is surprisingly good for a large screen smartphone. The camera isn't great for 8MP but it isn't bad either. HTC does better 8MP camera sensors. UI is very easy to move around and use. Overall my favorite Droid phone. All around great phone!

I've had this phone for a week now and I think its great. People say the battery isn't good but I went 24 hours without charging it and it stayed up pretty good. The screen is vivivid. Id say the only bad thing about this phone is it doesn't have a front facing camera. But video chat isn't that common anyways so tht doesn't matter much.

This phone is fun if you want to.....call people,txt people, use internet, play with mojo, eat cereal, make pop tarts, it also has an app that works as toilet paper!!!!!!!!!!! I had a fun time with this phone until i tried to test the durability by dropping it out of my hotel room on the 32nd floor but you know it was worth

I have had the samsung fascinate before the droid x and the droid x is much better. the build quality is way better than the fascinate's plastic build. the camera is great and widgets are cool. this phone is not too big unless you have really tiny hands. overall great phone!!!

I got the Droid X about two weeks ago and I loved it at first, but I soon had many issues with it. The biggest issue was that when people called me, it only showed their phone number until I picked it up or ignored it where it would FINALLY show me the contact information. The push email wasn't working well for me, and kept reloading my email so I always had a "new message", even though I had already read it or deleted it. The "8MP" camera was about the same quality of my Blackberry Storm2's 3.2MP camera. Even with the $50 extended battery, I barely got a full day of moderate use out of it. The best decision I made was to switch it out for the iPhone 4 which is 10x better!

This phone is built with incredible quality, the metal casing makes it feel very solid. The bump at the top really hasn't been a problem, a nice way to pull it out of the pocket or hold to the ear with. Speakerphone and ear speaker are great sounding as motorola's always are. Reception has been fine with me. Not a fan of the blur interface and proceeded to load a custom rom. Got a custom rom up and running though the locked bootloader has limited that. If you are considering this phone you won't be disappointed, at this time it is top of the line. In my opinion there is no other phone that can compare with it's hardware except perhaps the sprint Evo 4g. Battery life has been great, lasts me a 14 hour day with 30% left easy... i use it moderately. texting, browsing the internet. Very good when considering the massive screen and very thin phone size.

When i first got the phone it worked flawlessly and there was nothing wrong with it, but as time went on the phone stared to get glichy and freeze on me at least once a month. Also the battery only lasts 8 hours with heavy use on a full charge. Otherwise I still love the phone.

Bought my Droid X three weeks ago...mostly because everyone was telling me to get an iPhone and I really can't stand Apple! I love my phone and keep getting surprised by the amount of great features.

One recommendation I have for everyone out there is to uninstall the "Advanced Task Killer" app that comes with the phone. It was making my phone freeze constantly. I was advised by a Verizon employee that they had been having a lot of problems with it so I blew it away and haven't had a single problem since. I couldn't be more pleased.

is great , y compare this to the thunderboolt and they are the sameeee , the thunderbolt is the most new phone of htc and htc is good but the thunderbolt is now the best for htc and the droid x is the same i love it its great ...................... ...

I bought this phone Dec. 31st 2010, for the first few weeks I really loved it until it started doing random reboots during phone calls. I am an Avid Android user, and I will be taking this back tomorrow and trading it in for a Fascinate (Galaxy S) I'm aware that that phone does not have froyo but it will soon. That said, The Droid X does everything else flawlessly when it does not start random reboots. I recommend anyone trying to buy this phone conduct heavy research on it first It has a lot of pros that I guess overcome the cons. Motorola has poor customer service though. If you go to the Motorola Forums and Verizon forums you will see this rebooting problem is a common droid problem.

I just got this phone and have played with it everyday. I came from an env touch and this phone blows it out of the water. Motorola really did good here and created a true master piece. I wouldn't go anywhere without my Droid x now.. This phone really puts tech in the right direction. go android

The Droid X is a nice Android phone with some awesomeness and some flaws.
The MotoBlur interface is fast but not very good. It has a sturdy feeling to it and the screen is amazing. The camera is not 8MP quality. Photos look grainy. Video, however is very nice and rivals flip cameras.

I have had this phone since the day it came out, and from day 1, I have not been able to put my phone down. Six months later and I still love my phone, its only my second smart-phone. Lets just go down the list. Build Quality- great, haven't had any problems with it, looks amazing, though with every phone I get, I have to have a case. Reception and call quality are always great thanks to Verizon. The internet is always fast on my phone, even on the go, away from home. The multimedia features- the music app could use a little work, not the best looking, but works. I love the camera, takes great shots, though sometimes, a few pictures can come out iffy, but when good pics come out, they are truly great. I use Launcher pro on my phone and even with that, the UI speed can get a little bumpy here and there. I use this thing everyday, whether it be casual, work, or for school, the battery could use some work. Text input is easy and great thanks to the gorgeous screen on this thing. Both keyboards are easy to use and big, I have no problems typing away, its actually kinda hard to use my ipod touch keyboard, it seems so small compared to the Droid X keyboard. Now, the battery, I would love to see this improved, but hey, it has to power that big screen, I'm happy about my phone. I love it.

Great internet phone. I rarely carry my laptop anymore. Quality of the camera is unimpressive, but that's not what I bought the phone for so it's not a big problem for me. GPS works great, I've had a lot of fun with the GPS and Google Maps. I use the Facebook app and that has worked great.

The big con to this phone is the battery life. I cannot go a full day without a charge, even if I'm using an app killer and not touching the internet. For that reason, I still carry my Blackberry Curve for making phone calls. I am addicted to the Droid X now though!!!!!

This phone may be a little bit large for some peoples' hands. It is tough to use this large phone when plugged in, the cord is located in a poor spot for using the browser or other apps while charging.

the phone is amazing. when i saw this phone i had to have it. i ditched by htc incredible and i was not regretting it. the big display is amazingly good. camera was okay htc incredible for me took better pics than the x. internet is fast. thats it. fast.

After looking at smartphones for more then 3 months, I finally came to a conclusion. I was to choose between the Droid 2 Global, Droid X, and the Droid Pro, and finally came between the decision between the Droid X. The Droid X brings things that the other Droids don't, and that is exceptional multimedia playback and functionality, a GREAT physical QWERTY keyboard with multitouch and also Swype input technology, and an updated (But still not-so-great) version of Motoblur.
The 4.3 inch screen size may not appeal to everyone, but it certainly appeals to me. I can't even tell that I have the phone in my pockets when I'm walking! The device also is powered by a TI 1Ghz processor so apps move through quick and fast, although I have had 2 incidents where the phone crashed and required a battery pull. Other then that, it is the best phone on Verizon right now, also with 720p video recording and an 8MP camera.

I got the Droid X in september after watching reviews closely for deal breaking issues to arise... and they never did! Love the user interface... waiting for the text-sorting issue to be resolved in the next update. Having 7 home screens let you organize different tasks, i have one for most used shortcuts, one for contact management, one for calendar and task management, one for game shortcuts, one for web search and web page favorites, and one for multi-media apps. I got rid of my alarm clock and got the HDMI Docking station, and now i have an alarm clock that i don't have to remember to set each night, and it lets me know the weather forecast as soon as i wake up! I also got the car dock, and it turns the X into a great GPS navigator. I'm still learning things that this device is capable of... the messaging app puts all of your messaging in one place, email, facebook, texting, and the awesome universal messaging folder. voice or text search is available on every screen or app you are in just by pushing the search button on the bottom of the phone, no more going to the menu to look for the search option. The contact organization is great as well... combining facebook, gmail, corporate, and phonebook contacts, or showing them seperated, and being able to view recent history for each contact, and facebook status's for each contact. The calendar is a big plus, with several different views, including a veiw reminiscent of the 'Today' screen in outlook.

i got this phone a month ago, i like the big screen, but it is lacking in responsiveness. the screen resoulution should be much more too. its alright, it should have alot more apps. and texting isn't very good. the CHIN IS THE WORST THING EVER! the camera isn't that good either

Maybe it was my luck that  I got two lemons and decided not to try for a third.  The call quality was garbled on both.  The garbledness was clear and natural sounding, it was almost as if my voice was jumping up and down.  This was a disaappointment for me.

My first DROID X has signal issues.  Sometimes it worked and most times the network speeds grind to a near halt to the point it was unproductive.  THe call quality was also a bit garbled, but callers were audible, so I swapped out for another. 

The interface is hideous, but I knew that walking into the DROID X, I replaced the interface with Launcher Pro and loaded some wall papers that did not give it hte appearance ofa concrete jungle.

THe camera pictures were very nice and the phone consistently took good shots. 

The phone was nice, but it lacks pizzaz.   There was something going on when my phone lost touch with the VZW network for a few hours and all my calls went to voicemail.  I don't know if this was the VZW network or the DROID X, but it was not a good omen for a two year committment. 

Also, 3G network speeds were slower than what I was use to on Sprint.  Emails were received faster on Sprint HERO than Droid X, these were emails with attachments such as JPG's.  Applications downloads were visibly slower on DROID X than comparable downloads on Tmobile's Vibrant on Sprint's EPIC or EVO. 

VZW has a more expansive network, but if data and androids are what you are looking for you will have to accept noticeably slower speeds.  Picture mail costs extra, also.   Quality hardware built.  Excellent reputation of Motorola. 

I was ready for an upgrade and after trying the EVO and returning it due to battery performance and trying the EPIC and returning it due to call quality, I can say I am very satisfied with the Droid X.  I need my device to be functional and functional for me that means I don't have the nurse a battery, the call quality is good to excellent,  the operating system is stable and the network it runs on is good.  Everything else (to me) is gravy or icing.  The X is smaller, for me, than the EVO because it's circumference is smaller and it better fits in my hand for one handed operation.  I could not use the EVO with one hand and tap across the front of it. The Droid X does not have a front facing camera, but I have no need for that function. I LOVE SWYPE!!!   Picked it up immediately and never looked back.  I like the physical buttons on the front of the device, it means fewer mistakes for me.  Motorola's UI is hideous, so are some of the wall papers.  I just spruced it up with a download of Launcher Pro and a few floral backgrounds.  Anyway, music plays well.  Surfing net, call quality, opening attachments and the detail of the picture quality was impressive.  VERY VERY NICE.  GPS worked well.  I used Google maps.  I don't do any social networking, other than to monitor my teenagers, so I can not comment on that aspect.The Droid X could be a little lighter in weight, but most Androids seem to be picking up weight these days.  I would rather have something in my hand that felt like high quality than something that felt like a toy.  To me the Incredible and Vibrant feel toyish,  and the ARIA was a joke in size and weight.  Clearly these phones are not toys, but I didn't feel confident handling them the way I like to handle my phone and expecting 2 years of good use.  The Droid X is good for me.Battery performance is solid.  Programming features (so far) are wll thought out.... nice Motorola.  I also wanted a device that would not be outdated in 9 months, like the HERO or the MOMENT.  They are still very functional devices, but the original DROID has not showed it's age, so I'm expecting the same forthe Droid X.
