I think you mean SnapDragon when say 1ghz, you are wrong, the processor that is inside Droid X is much better than SnapDragon and has better GPU and all.]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
Ah, the frequency wars have begun. Another few years of trying to explain to people why clock cycles are important, but so are so many other aspects of the processor design.

Processor X @ 1ghz is not necessarily more powerful than Processor Y @ 800 mhz.

That being said, I think we have to wait for proper benchmarks to compare the two platforms.

But, hey, if you'd like I have a 4 year old Intel CPU running at almost 4 Ghz. So much faster than any of that new crap on the market today...]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Somebody who used the device (on HowardForums) viewed the device info and it said that the processor was running at 1 GHz.]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Is your CPU happened to be an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo E8400 @3 Ghz overclocked to 4 Ghz?]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
Cuz its really starting to get confusing how many android phones verizon has coming...

Is this "X" also known as the "Shadow". More importantly is the Shadow just a droid without a keyboard?

Then there's the Droid 2...is it the same as this A## that engadget keeps bringing up. Its kinda hard to keep all these phones in line. ]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
The Droid 2 is a refreshed Droid, it's barely better, a little different looking, and we saw pictures of it yesterday.

Both phones exist. Both phones use the Android *webkit* browser (which is where the Safari typo confusion must be coming from), and both are coming this summer.]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Jun 11th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/

Anywho, I don't believe the 4.3" screen or safari... the resolution is 480x854, the same as the droid, I'd be willing to bet that it has a 3.7" screen]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Jun 11th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Jun 11th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Jun 11th 2010 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
Man, I totally agree 110% I HATE having choices and being forced to make decisions. My mind can't take that sort of stress.

I want every day to be the same, predictable slop!]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Jun 11th 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
The screen on the EVO is 4.3 inches and it only runs at 800x480, which is the same resolution as the Incredible on it's 3.7 inches (and every other HTC Android phone, all of which are 3.7 inches). Not sure why this phone can't have the same resolution as the Droid on a larger screen. The 4.3 inch screen is basically the most certain spec to have been leaked about this device at HoFo.]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Jun 11th 2010 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
Def bigger than 3.7". Maybe it's 4", 4.1", or 4.3" but its def bigger. And that resolution is almost the exact same resolution as the EVO.

Yeah... you'd be wrong about that. There were posts on all the Android blogs a couple of weeks ago that showed some recent benchmarking results compared against "others" who had recently completed the benchmark. Top spot went to the Nexus One running 2.2. Number 2 was not the EVO (Snapdrago) or the Galaxy S (Cortex-A8) -- it was the Shadow (i.e., the Droid X -- there really isn't any mystery about the association over at HowardForums...). This is a hella powerful phone.

Otherwise, the specs match every one of the phones you listed -- plus it is just as thin as the Galaxy S, but has a larger screen.]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/

I want ONE of them, but there are so many names and fuzzy pics laying around that I can't choose.

Here's hoping they are released in a month to clear it all up.]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Jun 11th 2010 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
Everyday its some weird leak or blurry picture and everyone gets to play "Guess what phone"

What i want you to do is give us some specs, release dates and make up your damn mind about what you want to call you phones.

Whats going to happen is you will tell us how awesome the future is going to be and then release Verizon Droid Turdorama.

My contract is up and I'm ready for a new phone - give me the freakin juice!

Man, you are hard to please! From Phandroid/HowardForums:

- TI OMAP 3630 + PowerVR SGX530 GPU that outperforms Snapdragon and Cortex-A8 (think: Apple A4)
- 4.3 inch, 854x480 display
- Front facing cam
- 8MP dual LED flash camera
- HDMI-out
- 720p recording

For performance vs. Galaxy S and Snapdragon:

That said, now I'm confused as to what these are?! Which is which... Engadget, care to do a split screen style post showing all the info for one phone on one side in a list, and the same for the other in another list? That would be helpful! Then I may know what I'm talking about with these new Moto phones. :)]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
The Droid branding is given to powerful Android phones. It's a way to let people know the phones are running Google, they're top of the line and they're a big deal.

Verizon's Droid marketing is great and they've given Android status and power, something T-Mobile, Sprint, and now AT&T, didn't accomplish.

No one understood what Android phones were. People get what Droids are. And frankly, it's cooler to have a Droid than a Samsung Moment or Backflip.

It's all about perception, it's all about marketing, it's all about the message. It's the smartest thing Android has done so far. Props to Verizon.]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/ I completely get that it helped android from a marketing standpoint, but then again you have to think of how it confuses consumers. With that said, the best advertising is clarity and mass appeal. Verizon is capitalizing on the thought of Android without being clear about where the products come from. Simple solution: HTC Driod Eris, or HTC Droid Incredible.
See what I'm saying?
Motorola was the first to be branded that way, so the phone really should stick to the Droid surname. Moto Droid, because that is it's mass appeal name. (yes i realize it does have a technical name as well ... A*** I dont know beyond that)]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
Honestly, it doesn't matter if people can name who makes the Droid and who makes the Droid Incredible. It's all about the Droid name. This is no worse than people calling an iPod Touch the iTouch. You can see it in your head, you know what it is, and in most cases, you know you want it.

I can see what you're saying but I don't think it matters. We can disagree.]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
The only Droid phones currently available are the Motorola Droid, the HTC Droid Incredible and the HTC Droid Eris. The Eris doesn't even get advertised and the commercials mention the manufacturer as well. I don't understand what is difficult to understand.

This phone is the Moto Droid X, formerly the Shadow/Xtreme.]]>Jun 12th 2010 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/

Does that mean this comes with a hardware qwerty? If so, then does that mean it is not the Motorola Shadow/Xtreme? Since the Motorola Shadow/Xtreme does not have a hardware qwerty. Or does Navigation key mean soft qwerty?]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/Jun 11th 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/mysterious-motorola-droid-x-coming-to-verizon/
