Google and Verizon Wireless Unite to Give You The Best App Phone, The Motorola Droid X, For Now

If you are on the market to buy a new smartphone or a superphone, consider yourself lucky because you will have many choices. The state of the art app phone changes quickly. Some say that the technology does not give you time to adapt to it. A New York Times reviewer sums it up this way, "Last November, you might have been tempted by the Motorola Droid, “the best Android phone on the market.” A month later, the HTC Hero was “the best Android phone on the market.” By January, “the best Android phone yet” was the Nexus One. In April, “the best Android device that you can purchase” was the HTC Incredible. In May, “the best Android phone on the market” was the Sprint Evo...."

What's the hoopla all about the Droid X?

The Droid X allows you to do your typing onscreen. That is a major leap from the original Droid. There is no way you will not notice the size of the Droid. It is the biggest app phone on the market these days. One of my colleagues has one. She could have bought two of them, but decided to go against the idea of giving his daughter such an advanced phone as her first phone. He thought it is too big for the little girl. At this size (5 by 2.6 by 0.4 inches), it allows its users to do a lot with ebooks, GPS and other applications.

The Droid X comes equipped with many features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, two mikes for noise cancellation, powerful speaker, unusually powerful vibrate mode, FM radio and Verizon’s expensive but not-call-dropping network.... Do you want more? How about this? The Droid X has an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flashes.

Google iPhone or Smartphone, G1

The true smartphone that is going to compete against Apple iPhone has arrived. G1 is knocking on iPhone G3 now.

T-Mobile, headquartered in Bellevue, Wash., will officially launch the G1 at its retail stores in 95 cities across the United States Wednesday, many of which will open early at 8 a.m. for the release of the $179 handset, and as many as 1.5 million existing T-Mobile customers have reportedly pre-ordered the devices. But for one night only, a couple hundred customers who lined up outside the telecom provider's store at Market and 3rd streets in downtown San Francisco had the 3G-enabled smartphone all to themselves.

What do you need to know about G1?

The T-Mobile G1 is available with a two-year voice and data agreement. Support for Web-based services from Mountain View, Calif.-based Google includes popular apps like Gmail and Google Maps, and the G1's full HTML Web browser is already winning rave reviews. In addition to T-Mobile's 3G network, the G1 has built-in support for the telecom's Edge network, as well as WiFi and GPS.

The new smartphone, 4.6 inches by 0.6 inches and weighing 5.6 ounces, has a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen but also sports a QWERTY keyboard, unlike the iPhone. It featurs a 3.2 megapixel camera and a microSD card slot.

The G1 lacks a video player, although there was already a free one in the Market by the time I tested the phone. The YouTube app works exactly as advertised, while the 3MP camera boasts auto-focus and takes decent (if not awe-inspiring) snapshots. There's no video recorder, but someone's bound to build one for the Market.
