Droid X Launching in July? Droid 2 in August?

by: Kellex | posted 06.11.10 | News

Rumors just surfaced that the Droid X (Xtreme) will be launching sometime in July (Yay!) and will feature a custom UI which is now being called “ShadowBlur” instead of Motorola’s previously awful MotoBlur. That pretty much matches up to what our sources have been saying for quite some time now.

The second part of these latest rumors pegs an August release date for the Droid 2 which will surprisingly be upgraded to Android 2.2. And then this is where varying stories from sources make everything a giant mess.

Our sources are standing by a July release date for both the Droid 2 and the Droid X. It should also be pointed out that the Droid 2 that we showed you yesterday was still running Android 2.1, so unless there has been some sort of a last minute delay to include 2.2 and a pushed back release date, there is still a good chance we’ll see them both in a matter of weeks.

Either way, we should all be getting “Xtremely” excited for both devices. (Yes! My Friday cheeseball moment.)

Does not 'jive' with what I have heard. I have heard the Moto2 will have a 1Ghz processor, HD capability more.

I keep seeing people talking about the specs, but can't seem to find them.

What's the target market for each? Is the Xtreme just a bigger screen version of the Droid or is it superior to the Droid 2 as well?

http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/BH35ELSPYB6NTWJ2U4UW45DMAA martin craig

Not to sure as from the sounds of it they have the same stuff bar bigger screen on X and 8mp cam.
Does not make alot of sense to slap the weaker one with a keyboard and lower res cam and smaller screen. Possibly Droid 2 is just to be the underdog, kind of odd though.

There's no way to contact Droid Life. The email address android@noticeorange.com on their Android app is invalid. What's up with that?

Sorry to post off subject, Is anyone having troubles downloading/updating apps from the market?
I can't get past “starting download” any ideas? thanks.

I was looking at some of the first posts on this site and dug this up, take a look!! http://www.droid-life.com/page/130/ Man have we come a long way..

BuddyBoy

A better link on that http://www.droid-life.com/2010/01/16/motorola-s… , but wow man lol that things changed ten fold!

Ruddy

man im going for the droid 2..i like the fact that it has a keyboard..
but then again the droid x looks mighty sweet..
damnn man too many to choose from!

cduce2411

Yeah , they are both sweet. But I am going with the Droid X. I have the Droid, and I really have no use for the keyboard.

How hard will it be to turn off moto/shadow blur and root the X back to stock?

You figure what, another 3-6 months for the GSM/HSPA versions to roll out for Europe and Canada? And called what? Milestone 2, MilestoneX?

im still maintaining the idea (naive hope?) that the blur implementation won't be as major as what we're expecting. plus, if you look at the quadrant scores floating around, this this is BLAZING fast, with or without blur.

It occurs to me that VZW and Moto could save a ton of cash by closing their PR departments, and simply keeping Dr. Droid (Kellex) in the loop. I can't remember the last time I looked at the VZW or Moto website, or any other Android/phone related site for that matter.

Thanks for keeping us informed and excited about our Droid lives!

Well, I say this is a nice looking phone although I'm not a fan of BLUR. Hopefully they will give choices for buyers. Droid II Detailed Reactions

Either way Verizon should change their name to Droids R Us.

BTW it is next to impossible to log onto your disqus account on this site on your Droid. I had to go to the Disqus homepage to get logged on.

Chris Nimon

thats what I had to do also. At least it worked though.
DiGz76

I was able to do it no prblem. I used the facebook connect.

Austin

Posting from my phone as we speak.

I have a hell of a time logging in from my phone (through twitter), but once I'm in I have no trouble posting.

Steve

Anyone confirm the X has Gorilla Glass?

I'm a manager and if don't get that price. Let me know what he does. Damn.

How come sometimes the comment section totally bugs out and the comments are huge, there is no way to login, and some people's profiles have a different picture than they usually do?

Octotron

I only really ever notice an issue when logging in from my Droid, of all things. Is this an issue with your computer or just the phone? Disqus seems to not like the Droid

root4life

just went to apples site to see some video on the new iphone4 and it was talking about its new glass that is supposed to be all strong and what not then i read this. then i read this http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/06/10/iphon… and had a good laugh about some of the new features of it

And best of all if the front doesn't shatter, the back prabably will!

My friend works for verizon and i will be getting a Droid X for free when its released!!

http://www.johnpariah.wordpress.com/ JP the Droid King

how the HELL do you pull that one off? i work FOR Verizon, and i dont get a free one. care to hook a brother up?

Nick

Doubt hes getting one for free unless hes at something like Google I/O which is past. Even Verizon employees don't get them for free, maybe cheaper but not free.

http://www.johnpariah.wordpress.com/ JP the Droid King

…i know this. We have the same pricing as the 2 year contracts-but VZW employee's only have 1 year contracts, but get the 2 year pricing.

either way..ill be willing to pay the 1 year pricing (which would roughly be 270$ pre tax if its inline with the current 299-100$ MIR pricing structure) for the Droid X

Nick

Oops, LOL, didn't see that you worked for them hahaha, nice pricing though. I wanna work for them now
http://www.johnpariah.wordpress.com/ JP the Droid King

lols. its aight. yeah…i will gladly be willing to pay the 1 year pricing for the Droid X though.

the one year pricing is usually 70$ higher than the 2 year (although, online it was only 30$ more…weird) so either way..i have a buyer for my rooted 2.2 running Droid, willing to pay me 250$ for it…so yes, that Droid X will be MINE! Death to keyboards!

StephanC

This excited onlooker will wait for the Droid X.
http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/BH35ELSPYB6NTWJ2U4UW45DMAA martin craig

I dont get why droid 2 would be pushed back to august when it has lower specs cam no hdmi etc.
Nick

Yeah Kellex, if you have complete info on Droid X and Droid 2 can you do a comparison? I still have my original Droid for another year and a half since i signed a new contract but its nice to look at whats to come. Plus can i get more of an in depth comment on Motoblur? Some of the comments ive received already dont tell me much about it.

kellex

Yeah I'll try to put one together this weekend from the info that can pretty much confirm.

Nick

Thanks bro. Oh and by the way, im addicted to this site. I go on here about a minimum of 50 times a day hahahaha

Michael_NM

Only 50 times a day? Slacker!

Second!! xD
Nick

Two quick questions…one is probably a noob one. What is Motoblur? and why is it hated by some people? And two, specs wise which is better DroidX or Droid 2?

http://twitter.com/Nightmare187 Joseph

Motoblurr is that crap that clogs up the home screen from your social networks, Specs wise the Droid X is better.
http://www.facebook.com/GotMurph Ben Murphy

Yeah, can we get a side by side comparison on all the specs please, I keep getting confused with what device is which
caphoagie

its basically a feed for your social stuff most people that are here love vanilla android i think that why people here hate it.
jonj95835

Motoblurr Has been on a few of there cells like Motorola CLIQ/DEXT, Motorola Backflip and Motorola Devour.
