Motorola Droid X – video review

Motorola Droid X is running with a Texas Instruments 1GHz OMAP 3630 CPU running on top of Android 2.1, though you can expect an update to Android 2.2 around Q4 of 2010. It has 8GB of built-in storage, plus it comes with a nice 16GB microSD card. If you buy a 32GB microSD card, you’re up to 40GB of space. The capacitive display is a traditional backlit LCD and is 4.3″ and WVGA+ resolution (that’s 854×480), which is the highest that Android can support currently. The Droid X has a ton of wireless radios and components: WiFi, CDMA with EVDO Rev A, Bluetooth, FM Radio, and GPS (assisted). For imaging, the rear camera (which has a dual LED flash) takes stills at 8MP and video at 720p. For video out, there is a microHDMI type D connector, and for syncing and charging, we have microUSB. The battery is 1500mAh, which is the same size of the EVO 4G.

Motorola Charm – officially announced for T-Mobile

Motorola finally confirmed what we’ve been expecting for the last few weeks, a new MOTOBLUR handset is headed for T-Mobile.  Officially dubbed the Charm, it is the first device in the United States to come with the new version of MOTOBLUR.  Features include a 2.8-inch touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, and a BACKTRACK navigation pad on the back of the handset.  Much like it does for the Backflip, the pad allows for an unobstructed view of the screen for a better browsing, texting, and gaming experience. Other features found in the phone include Adobe Flash Lite, a 3-megapixel camera, pinch zooming, multi-touch, and corporate email capability.

The Android 2.1-powered Charm is officially due “this summer” which could mean any day now.  Unfortunately a price wasn’t announced for the device but we’re hearing both $75 after rebate as well as free for back-to-school promotions.
