Why Droid X?

Here are some reasons why I like the Droid X :

1. It runs Android
   
   
   
   • The best distro of embedded Linux and micro Java.
   
   
   • Open source - thousands of eyeballs can rip the code apart, find bugs, find security holes and criticize Google's implementation.
   
   
   • Open platform - I can run whatever the hell I want to run as long as it can be interpreted on the Dalvik VM.
   
   
   • Open marketplace - I can download from wherever I want and even setup my own marketplace.
   
   
   • Open development - I can develop in any language I want and use any IDE I want without selling my soul to some restrictive developer agreement.
   
   
   
   


2. It is from Google, Motorola and Verizon bringing in the best from all these three companies.
   
   
   
   • High quality software from some of the best developers on the planet.
   
   
   • Superior hardware from an experienced and reliable hardware manufacturer.
   
   
   • Awesome service from the best carrier in the US.
   
   


3. Super size screen that makes for a great reading and browsing experience.


4. Excellent voice-enabled navigation software


5. Great battery life

I am sure I am forgetting a lot of other nice features. But, the above are good enough reasons to like the Droid X.
