Customers looking to buy the new Motorola Droid X on Verizon should also know that a $29.99 data plan is required, and for those of you who’d like a mobile hotspot plan, that’s $20 more for 2GB of data. Another interesting thing is that anyone (not just those who already own a Droid, like Apple did with their new iPhone 4) with a contract ending sometime in 2010, will be eligible for a special upgrade discount to get the X.

Regarding specs and features, the new Motorola Droid X for Verizon comes with a lovely 4.3-inch 854×480 touchscreen display, runs Android 2.1with an all-new UI, and packs a 1GHz TI OMAP3640 processor under the hood. Adding to the goodies list is an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash capable of 720p HD video recording, HDMI out, 8 GB of built-in storage (expandable up to 32GB) and the fact that Android 2.2 Froyo with Adobe Flash 10.1 support will be coming later this summer as an upgrade.

On top of that we’re hearing that the Droid X is going to feature a Swype multitouch keyboard,

So how `bout it folks, are you going to forget about the new iPhone 4 or the HTC EVO 4G and buy Verizon’s new Motorola Droid X?

Verizon BlackBerry Storm2 Release Date and Price Leaked..

Voting Closed. Rating: +2 (from 2 votes)

We have to agree that it’s no Bold 9700 and no Motorola Droid, but Verizon’s new BlackBerry Storm2 certainly has what it takes to get our attention. Speaking of which, we just got our hands on some leaked documents where the Storm2 is being expected to release on Big Red starting October 28 for a price that will go just shy of $180.

Not that we’re not happy to know the release is just around the corner, but there are things we can’t understand. There’s the Bold 2 in queue and it’s a pretty darn interesting smartphone to do with, there’s also one of the most craved for mobile of the year, the Droid, and Verizon does what? Announce the new BB Storm 2 for the end of October? Doesn’t it sound like they’re trying to “actually” bury it.

Those who can’t remember, BlackBerry Storm 2 packs a 3.2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, the BlackBerry OS 5.0, threaded texting, an enhanced SurePress typing system that would employ Piezo technology, more durable rubber keys and a highly responsive screen and capabilities to display orientation in no time.

Rating: +6 (from 6 votes)

Moto Rival A455

Our Koodo Ninja has informed us that the Motorola Rival will be launching in the coming weeks. The internal document reveals the Rival will be launching at retail locations on either August 17th or 24th.

Pricing for Koodo’s newest QWERTY keyboard was not detailed in the memo. Parent company, Telus, did launch the Rival a last week for $299.99 no term; so expect Koodo’s to retail around $200 or $50 on the Tab.

Motorola had announced its new Rival A455 mobile messaging phone. The phone is packed with some cool features aimed at those who love to send messages all day. The handset comes with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, with some elements of this being touchscreen.

ZDNet have managed to get their hands on the Motorola Rival A455, so thought they would offer their readers a full hands-on review of the device. I like how the reviewer said that if you want a Smartphone but are not prepared to pay the price, then this phone mimics many of the features that you associate with a Smartphone.

The Motorola Rival A455 has a limited audience as it is intended more for the youth; this is for two reasons, the messaging features and the color choices, black with purple piping and silver with red piping. For the full hands-on review, visit ZDNet here.
