Tweet

Team TFTS is covering Motorola and Verizon’s live unveiling of the Motorola Droid X and Droid 2. They’ve just confirmed that it will have a 4.3-inch screen, which was a matter of some debate among those who had seen early pictures of the device.

Since the phone was featured in the Verizon bathroom all those months ago – and even after tech blog Engadget posted an illicit early preview of the device, some reported that it “wasn’t” a 4.3-inch screen. Not sure what they were smoking, but Motorola and Verizon have confirmed it being a 4.3-inch “edge-to-edge” screen with a resolution of 848×400.

How will the Droid X with it’s big screen and high resolution stack up to the iPhone 4? Obviously Apple has captured the imagination of the tech community with their high-resolution Retina display. We’ll see how they look side-by-side.

Other specs include HDMI-out and the ability to use the Droid X as a WiFi hotspot for 5 different people.

The phone has a 1GHz processor (Motorola didn’t name who made it, but we imagine it’s probably Texas Instruments). 8GB of ROM, and a 16GB microSD card included in the box. The phone can support microSD cards up to 32GB.

The phone’s on-screen keyboard will support multi-touch and will come pre-loaded with Swype. Motorola’s CEO Sanjay Jha said that “We’re really excited about what Swype can do for us.” (paraphrasing via MobileCrunch’s live blog).

Other features include three microphones for improved noise cancellation, GPS, Bluetooth and a 1500 mAh battery.

The Droid X surely looks like a hot phone. Stay tuned to TFTS for more news about the phone as it’s announced.
