| Re: At least.... I doubt he thought that one through cause he's got it backwards.
The Droid X works as designed but unfortunately do to defective equipment a extremely limited number or users are experiencing an issue. Those that do, are being serviced promptly by both the manufacturer and the carrier, thanks in no small part to the swift action taken by the carrier.
The iPhone has a defective design and a very large portion of users are experiencing issues. Those that don't experience any issue have the benefit of actually finding a strong AT&T signal, something that is more elusive than a man friendly dike. The make matters worse both the carrier and the manufacturer are telling users the problem is user error or not really a problem since all phones have the same issue or a software issue or whatever the current rendition of the blame game they are playing. | |

 DodgePremium join:2002-11-27 | After watching the video Clearly the issue is because the phones are lying on a desk instead of being held. I can't believe Moto didn't catch on to that fact, if they did they wouldn't have to replace anything  | |

| Re: Software Problem Ok so my last comment was meant to be sarcastic, but now an article actually claims this could be software related??
From: »www.tgdaily.com/mobility-brief/5···n-to-die
"However, Verizon said that it is sending out an over-the-air patch that should prevent this from happening to any other Droid X customers."
I would have thought this was a hardware problem. | |
|
 | | Finally It is nice to see that Verizon is standing behind their product offering unlike AT&T and Apple. It is a new device so you have to expect some possible problems but teh way Apple is handling their problem sure shows that they do not care about their customers and Job's condescending attitude is not helping their case. Apple get off your as* and admit you screwed up ane be more like Verizon.
Breathe of fresh air to see a company actually stand behind its offering instead of skirting the truth like Apple and AT&T.

 Antonlm join:2004-09-15 Birmingham, AL | Maybe its easier to swap them out When you have them just lying around. (just joking) But it would appear that Verizon is the new love child around here. Just like google was a few years ago. So I will say now what I said then...Each company is out only for themselves. I bet Verizon's spirit of giving is brought on by the fact that 1) Its a chance to get at ATT and if its true 2) not many users are affected. if the needs arises they will do exactly what Jobs did. | |

 | | Lol I love the competition Let me first start off by telling you I am a Verizon employee and I had the opportunity to test the droid x before it was released and I must say it is a very nice phone with great features, I got the chance to compare them side by side before choosing which one I picked and why, my wife got the iPhone 4 first day it was released, I want to thank everybody for picking up the x for I have a lot of stocks in Verizon but after testing both phones side by side the iPhone in my opinion beats out the x. 1st off the camara of the iPhone is just as good if not better then the x yes I know the x has a 8 pixel compared to the 5 of iPhone, FaceTime is awesome, browsing on iPhone is better, the question you should be asking yourself is "would this be a argument if the iPhone was on Verizon network instead of AT&T" and I think everyone would probably agree they would get the iPhone if it was on Verizon network, take this as it is, there are a lot o other reason I like the iPhone better, there are 3 things on the x that I really wish the iPhone had, 1 the screen size, 2 hdmi out and 3 Verizon network other than that the iPhone wins | |
|
 | | Maybe.... Maybe if these devices were manufactured in the country they were sold in, these things wouldn't happen.
OLED displays are not ready for the bigtime in my opinion. Traditional LED backlights have a far longer lifespan.
