Verizon Wireless and Motorola have unveiled DROID X by Motorola. DROID X does more with high-speed Web browsing; a 1GHz processor; 3G Mobile HotSpot capabilities; intuitive social messaging; Adobe Flash Player 10.1 ready; and access to Android Market, which has more than 65,000 applications, along with a host of unique Verizon Wireless applications such as NFL Mobile, Skype mobile and V CAST Video.

DROID X gives customers a 4.3-inch high-resolution screen, as well as DLNA and HDMI connectivity to download, stream and share personal HD content.

DROID X customers will also receive Android 2.2 and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 with an over-the-air update in the latter half of the summer.

DROID X by Motorola will be available at www.verizonwireless.com and in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores beginning July 15 for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement.
