Review: Motorola's Droid X

[WhyOHWhy0000]

Anyone else think he's REALLY hot??

[1JCUERVO]

Lol he keeps saying screen is larger like he watches porn on it and he then says it's basically for old people at the end lol

[scourned7]

That review was decent. Leave him alone.

[IMudvayne]

is it me or did his eyebrows get thicker, lmao.

[Gadgetguy326]

wazzel your a dumb ass the droid x kills the iphone . I know because I had both

[enigmatic1986]

He looks like a retard. Get off my face you apple sucker!

[omgitsgrace03]

Horrible review. I should have his job!

[wazzel2u]

"For the Elderly" This faggoty little puke with his girl-phone wouldn't know a decent phone if it slapped him across his blinded by apple-fandom face.

[leopurogame]

"it really fell like you are using a camera"

o rly?

[badhooch]

that was barely a review!

"since Obviously its so big" #twss

[lonelyboy323]

this dude is kind of an idiot to work for the los angeles times

[Fugdecanbeaclimax]

the touchscreen looks painful

[andrew14carlson]

"and the elderly, who want to get their email on their phone"..... what the fuck? hahaha

[tylerpomeroy]

@andrew14carlson lmao.

[rcaugh]

Size queen.

[gulesh01]

one last thing I want to stress is I speak of the Earpiece speaker not the video speakers... so I can watch anything on youtube or anything from video or games and the sound coming out of the back panel is crisp clear and good. This is in reference to the ear listening part during calls.. also if anyone knows the deal about this or would like to comment on this please comment me. Its not a deal breaker but its rather upsetting like it kills the buz of having this gadget. still glad I have it tho

[makemehavefun]

@gulesh01 thx man. appreciate the good info. thumbs up.

[gulesh01]

so far.... The earpiece speaker. When I make a call the ringing has this annoying ratteling in it as it rings. I call my girlfriend and the ratteling stops, I call my dad and the ratteling is there. Its when a low sound or a male speaking the rattling picks up. I did a search on it and tons of people complaining but not everyone. They say its anything from a software issue to blown out speakers which doesnt make sense.. some people are re-ordering theirs right now, I may do that -

[gulesh01]

ok here's a real review from some random person who actually bought it - me- yeah its kinda big but its not so bad I love the hi def screen and it holds many gigs so I can put so many movies on it and take it anywhere. All the same apps as everyone else. Its good, interface is actually easy compared to what they say and its a very beautiful phone yes big buttons especially side ways when chatting or texting its like a whole real keyboard.

Now here's the other issue (problem) the only one so

[MikeDMinor]

Kewl!

[MasonStormm]

Worst review in the world

[siarralovesyou]

alright we understand the screen is big, doesnt the phone do anything else

[makemehavefun]

@siarralovesyou remember, this is the "Los Angeles" Times... very typical... shallow, flippant, superficial and just kind of "soulless". Don't expect much more than that. We're world class airheads.

[penguin42695]

Does the Droid X have a big screen?

[BramaBG]

He slaughtered this phone and this review sux. Didn't tell me anything useful. What a lousy ass critic.

[Klause5425]

what are the plans?

[iLuvElbows95]

The elderly? First of all, I don't know any old people who would come even close to grasping how to use this phone. Plus, why the elderly? What about anyone else who wants email on their phone?

[spiritB0mber]

i wish verizon didnt cost so damn much.



[rafabarroso78]

lame review for a great phone!

[mrjonbean]

The elderly. Is he serious. I really cannot picture anyone elderly using this phone.

[ddicecca]

P.S.S. - I'm sorry, but there is not enough time in the day to tear this video apart. Dude, it has a 1540mAh battery. The EVO has a 1500mAh battery. The Droid X's battery life is touted as being one of its best features. And you then follow up with saying, "Dispite the bigger battery. . . " Not only that, but you hardly even touch upon some of its best features. Basically, anyone that can visit Motorola's website, could have received the same information. I'll do phone reviews for you LA Times!

[ddicecca]

P.S. - If you want to show off the screen 's 16:9 aspect ratio, then show something that's in 16:9 aspect ratio - not Family Guy in 4:3 aspect ratio. Seriously, LA Times, stick to written "journalism." Let the real techies do phone reviews, like C|Net, Engadget, et cetera. . . And what in the HECK do senior citizens have to do with this?! Seriously?! Are you high!?

[ddicecca]

Hey. . . LA Times. . . If you wanted to mimic an Apple commercial with, Justin Long, then go hire, Justin Long. . . That was a horrible review by someone that looks like they just woke up or is still high from the night before. . . take your pick. . . or both. And yes, I happen to like ellipsis. . . . 

[jbeard82]

wow it is huge!

[cod4glitcher08]

@jbeard82 That's what she said.

[xtragickingdom4]

how many times did he mention the phone and screen being big?

[CamJvan]

horrible review. LA times needs to get there shit together.

[TheAsehan]

It's really HUGE...

[xMrWhiteDudex]

@TheAsehan thats what she said.

[cosmicgate07]

and you look hangover

[tnoyy34rt]

The screen is HORRIBLE.

[heathmcateer]

"What is that thing, massive" This guy is so awkward!

[chenload0o1]

LA Times; what a joke. This guy is an Idiot. huh? err ...hum....so....yeah it's big

STFU

[17Manning]

iPhone still destroys this joke of a phone sorry its ugly as hell my i4 is sexy and has no problems and is a much BETTER PHONE quit beng fan droids iPhone for life

[TheLogic497]

@17Manning lets about talk about antenna a much slower and smaller processor no hdmi port not 720p camera and no more unlimited plans sure the iphone is better good luck fanboy

[loudspeakers23]

@17Manning anybody who calls a phone sexy is a TOOL.

[comedyguy1262549]

@loudspeakers23 thats not true...

[TheBighouse19]

@17Manning ok i had an iphone 4 and switched back to my droid then to my droid x so tell me? can you hold your phone in your left hand covering the black strips at the bottom and still make calls? better yet can you actually multi task? when i had my iphone 4 it DID multi task but only a few apps but not all of them? seriously why post to a droid x review, god your a fail XD u isheep make me laugh :p

[comedyguy1262549]

@17Manning lol apple fan boy much?.. you dont even give it a chance? haha your funny. what about call quality and reception? i think the droid x blows it away there now doesnt it.

[TechEpoch11]

elderly? wtf?

[MikeDMinor]

Time to either wash that dirt off your face kid or get a real shave before the cameras start rolling! Oh and tell the videographer to check the focus next time, unless you requested a soft focus for the head & body shots!

[iMrMIKE]

what about the $30.00 data plan thats alot of money per month and its mandatory

[yellowspecv06]

I have the Htc Hd2 with T-mobile and windows 6.5 sucks.(not to mention no updates for windows 7 mobile) t mobile service does not pick up anywhere but my home. Im switching to Verizon and getting the Droid x.

[MikeDMinor]

@yellowspecv06 there is no windows 7 mobile os. There is WinMo 6.x out there. and Windows Phone 7 is coming.

[biggboy73]

stfu 

[gulesh01]

ok well.. that is big... so... I missed out on the Droid Incredible and have been planning to buy this soon as I feel like wasting money so I can watch family guy clips in my bed instead of at the computer /end sarcasm - I really want one actually and been waiting for this... but... wtf it looks really huge and rather thick.. is this thing even worth it? Will it even fit in my jeans pocket while I drive or will it tear my pockets? Sure the incredible had a smaller screen but it was slick

[MikeDMinor]

@gulesh01 it is not that big. it is only .5 inch taller than an iPhone. Why in the hell would you put a smart phone with a glass face in your jeans pocket period, much less drive with it in your pocket? A holster or belt clip is not a huge financial hit and it is 10x safer for both you and the phone!

[gulesh01]

@MikeDMinor Lol. I bought it yesterday. Its nice :) I like it

[gulesh01]

@MikeDMinor The Droid X I mean of course :)

[casualthug07]

that was a lousy review.

[siltor67]

if this kid can work for the los angeles times, so can heidi montag!

[doubledevil]

Dear LA Times: Stop letting your stuttering "uh.. er.." interns make these crappy reviews. All of your good writers were taken by NYTimes, did they take your online content team as well?

[chenload0o1]

Dude; the only thing you said in the whole fukc1n video;;; ohh its big it's big....STFU. You just talkin garbage

[cooldaddyy]

shave damit

[secretagentjones]

the elderly comment was because old people need LARGE print. But I'd hate to have to show my mom (75) how to use the droid.

[lowaztec]

Check The Video EVIL DROID PRESENTS "GANGSTER RELIEF" MUSIC VIDEO youtube.com/watch?v=kBHzMO4IFJ­I

[LatinGangsterRapTV]

@lowaztec Tight Video Homie

[Zannd3r]

yeaa i dont think he has any love for the droid x

[naluaspencer]

lol, "What is that thing...MASSIVE"

[bayates826]

I only have one question that this review didnt quite cover well enough for me....is the screen big?

[krteamsandwich]

if i choose between dieing and going to a phone comany other then verizon(which i have) i would choose to die

[McAppleJacks]

will the droid x have those colorful htc background wallpapers thats the only reason why im buying it if not then hello evo or incredible please tell me

[JkccaStudios]

@McAppleJacks thats a retarded reason to get such an expensive phone...

[austinx420x]

@McAppleJacks yes the live wallpapers are available on the droid x, there a main reason why i would want the droid phones in general also

[csuScorp]

you need a shave you homeless bastard

[thelledge1]

This was a very bad review, all i learned was that the screen is big, which I can see by looking at it, thanks for pointing out the very obvious.

[miscible21]

HaHa! did you see you see Micheal when he was still black? lol.

[csabo07]

I'm not sure if I want this or the Incredible. I like the Droid X a bit more, but I'm not sure if it would fit in my pocket. haha.

[tommybot123]

this kid is stupid, hes complaining about how good the phone is, wahh it connects 5 devices, wahh its got bigger screen than my iphone

cant wait to get this phone

[xturayse]

this phone is gonna be epic

[jacobts]

android 2.1 is the latest version, that's like saying windows 7 was out of date the day it came out cause they are working on a newer version.

[lkn4cat]

@jacobts Couldn't have said it better myself

[AUSTOCOPS]

@jacobts no because 2.2 is done and already on the nexus one

[live4mac]

@jacobts actually the nexus one already has android 2.2

[greyes11]

@jacobts No 2.2 came out for some android phones so 2.1 is not the newest version. Thats like saying Windows XP is the newest version of Windows because you computer can run Windows 7.

[3rdDegr33Burn]

1:17 family guy <3

[natebergey]

"The buttons are big, so if you don't have good aim, you can hit the button" HA HA

[winterrise]

IS TO FUCKING BIG

[refresh967]

@winterrise NO ITS FREAKIN NOT

[sgtsbre]

@winterrise that's what ur mom said. lol jk jk

[winterrise]

no that WAS U MOM AND U SISTER WHEN THEY BOTH WAS SUCKING MY DICK

PENDEJO

[sgtsbre]

@winterrise whatever i was just jokin maderchod.

[cedillosstudios]

Amazing phone. But is that big or are you hands that small? haha

[HeavyMechanics]

Pretty much completely useless review. No details, repeats the same thing over and over...

[DottyLomax]

Holy shit, yes - the phone's screen is big. How many times do you have to point that out? All that time wasted blabbing about the fact that "this thing is huge" could've been used to talk about other specs, nuthead. And way to toke up before this video shoot. Seriously, at every frame that I paused this video in order to let it continue to load (slow work computer), you could've been thrown in a Cheech and Chong movie. I was literally waiting for you to pop open a bag of Combos at any second.

[Rohanlal1]

did he say android 2.1 is out of date??

have you seen iOS, its way more boring and old

[carriecanfly]

i want to date you, man.

[Fashinable20]

xD this guys cute ahaha..bye.

[joesexygirl12]

now i like the droid x 

[FatalOx]

im an elderly and i ofter urinate in my pants, is this thing water resistant?

[refuse2bstopped]

@FatalOx LMMFAO!!!!

[lisafats]

hey baby!

[niceNcrispy83]

All you guys that are hating, are simply jealous cuz your cell phone provider sux ass and has shit for phones! haha

[davidgalindo07]

actually the Hd2 does everything this does and did it first... verizon = crap

[lolololvince]

@davidgalindo07 That's great. The Droid X has an 8MP camera with 720p HD video.

[srwilli4m]

@davidgalindo07 wrong. its got a slower processor, far worse build quality, a worse network, and crap windows os. Android is far superior.

[davidgalindo07]

@srwilli4m actually get ur facts straight b4 u speak, windows crushes android, windows is a free operating system were u can connect hd2 to any pc and has the ability to play files android cant, such as avi,dvix, android is like apple ur only allowed to use programs that they want u to use there for its a limited operating system, and by the way hd2 has 528mb ram droid x has 478 not to mention skyfire browser that only wm uses blows android browser outta the water...get ur shit straight buddy..

[trdracer21]

@davidgalindo07 wat u talking about LOL u need to get ur shit straight you are way off

[srwilli4m]

@davidgalindo07 The droid x plays divx and avi too. Apple can fuck off but dont diss android. Android phones can be connected to any computer and you can use and programs you want, you dont have to go to the app store. That extra 50mb of ram wont help you much considering how shit the snapdragon is compared to the ti-omap processor. The droid x gets more than twice the fps of any snapdragon phone.

[trdracer21]

@davidgalindo07 hd2 sucks buddy!!!

[refuse2bstopped]

@trdracer21 I have to disagree with that. It doesn't compete with this or other android phones but "sucks" is a bit of a stretch imo. It depends on what you want out of your phone.

[lepocru]

ahhhaaaaahaa! good for the elderly!

[MRBIGGIEMAC]

the battery life is only gonna get better they are gonna release a extended battery in abour a month for the droid x and the hotspot is only to be used when plugged in to a ac or dc outlet like a car charger so yeah let get ready to rule the air come dec when froyo hit the droid x it will be amazing

[CelestialTorment]

WTF! He looks like me...!!!!!!

[BachStrad95]

@CelestialTorment

you have a dirt stache too?

[CelestialTorment]

@BachStrad95 Yes and your sis loves it! :)

[NiMNice]

oh lets not forget an extra $30. a month like it or not. way to go verizon wireless.

[DURK2002]

Elderly people don't know how to use computers, they are too old. Thats why they have to get a phone to check their email.

[KINGJULI9359]

he is so awkward..lol..but hes kool

[offthewallsurfer]

"And to the elderly that want to get e-mail on their phones.." WTF? that was random.

[xfistsclenchedx]

@offthewallsurfer That was in regards to the large font/keyboard buttons

[naluaspencer]

@offthewallsurfer that was totally random lol, elderly people get their email on their phone, HAHAHA

[Ctwebsyter]

@offthewallsurfer it's because everything's bigger on-screen... get it? :D

[SmoothSkySailin]

@offthewallsurfer LOL, when I heard him say that i was drinking and I laughed juice out my nose! But then I thought about it and I think he is refering to the big screen being good for elderly people to see text. Still funny though.

I also like when he said "what is that thing massive" at the begining.

[tekany]

@offthewallsurfer That was funny. The touch screen is elderly bifocal big.

[Hezanut13]

Somebody tell this dude to wipe the dirt off his lips.

[SharpShooterx9]

LOL. Michale Jackson. Nice review though :D

[himsanjun]

elderly is not a good choice of word, same goes for "cheap"

[rockhead261]

The elderly?? You mean, like, 40-year olds?? Twerp.

[swe3t23]

nice review. but hot dam that thing is huge

[theteflondon1478]

@swe3t23 thats what she said lol

[dddtorro]

it's a mini ipad... lol. shaped like a scientific calculator

oh and your blue undershirt looks funny with that button up

[xgeetaristx]

Wow..... Right of the start you start talking shit..... the screen is awesome, why do so many youtube reviewers complain about the SICK CLEAN Huge screen like they regret buying for that one reason... If you dont want a big screen get something smaller. And you put next to the that piece of shit iTrash...

-Fandroid

[VerbalAikido]

thanks for reviewing.

[whozyopimp21]

Ohhhh first commentt! whos the shit! -_-
