Well this is getting good . Motorola was one of the first to take a subtle swipe at Apple’s iPhone 4 antenna dilemma with an ad saying you could hold the Droid X “any way you like,” Apple came right back with a video purportedly showing the Droid X suffering similar attenuation issues when held in the right hand, and now Moto’s responded with this cheeky ad that plays off Apple’s free iPhone case solution by saying the Droid X can make calls “without a bulky phone jacket.” Yeah, it’s pretty good — particularly because unlike most other phones, we haven’t been able to death …

Song A Day #561: The iPhone Antenna...Download this song (and any song a day song) at: jonathanmann.bandcamp.com there's an awful lot of hoopla around the iphone 4 anttenna when you grip it with the death grip and you're call slips away the media loves a failure in a string of success the facts won't ever matter if they can make bigger messes sure i can make it happen but in terms of daily usage i've yet to drop a call so this whole damn thing is stupid and you can call me a fanboy i've been called worse things but gizmodo just ridiculous pulling their anti-apple strings you bought a stolen prototype get over it and move on or hey even better let's all sing this song
iPhone 4 Antenna Problem, key demon...I will demonstrate the antenna reception issue with a house key.
iPhone 4 Signal / Antenna Issue Whe...This is an example of signal loss that happens when holding the outer edge of the iPhone 4. I repeated this test 20+ times with the same or similar results each time. gizmodo.com If we could keep the idiocy down to a minimum in the comments, that would be great. EDIT: I just wanted to say that I'm still very excited to have my new phone. This video was not posted so that I could rip on Apple. It is just here to be a reference for those who are curious. That being said, I have also noticed the data drop out when trying to access webpages, not just on speedtest. Now that I know about this issue, I have noticed the effects during normal use (when I'm not trying to reproduce the problem). I only know this because I get excellent reception at my house (4 and 5 bars). Now I notice the phone will drop down to 1 or 2 bars if I happen to be holding it in the wrong position until I move my hand and then it jumps back up to 4 or 5 bars.

The anti-iPhone . The phone that “does.” The first Motorola device that we’ve seen in years that’s downright awe-inspiring. Naturally, we’re referring to the Droid . VZW spent all kinds of money to hype up this Android 2.0 handset as the phone to get if AT&T’s 3G coverage was just too weak for your liking,...
Is it tomorrow already? Must be because the Droid 2 is now up for sale on Verizon. $199 plus a two-year commitment takes home this Android 2.2 (Froyo) QWERTY slider with 3.7-inch 480×854 WVGA display, 8GB of internal memory plus another 8GB on microSD, and 5 megapixel camera. And unlike the original Droid just updated with Android 2.2, Verizon...
It’s hard to look at the DROID without looking at the company which brought the device to life. Motorola: for years the name has been synonymous with… well, disappointment. While the industry-stalwart made cellphones sexy with the RAZR, the days which followed have not been especially fruitful or compelling. Over the past year or so,...
Last week we gave the Apple loyalists in attendance a chance to rip and rag the iPhone 4 , and this time around we’re doing the same for Motorola’s best frienemies. The Droid X is without question the largest Droid in the family today, and calling it a showstopper on Verizon would probably be understating things. Now that it’s...
Turns out that the DROID does support multitouch after all — it’s just not as baked as the MILESTONE’s , and it’s certainly not the kind you’ll see out of the box. The DROID’s European cousin features multitouch right in the phone’s core software load (most notably pinch-and-zoom in the browser, which...
The gang at Phandroid have got their hands on pics alleging to be Verizon internal documentation that details an up-and-coming handset called the Droid X. Honestly, this sounds like it could still be an internal name to us, although there has been some speculation that the handset is, in fact, the launch name of the Motorola Shadow / Xtreme that...
Because television and the internet can’t be the only media feeling the touch of the Droid’s marketing blitz, it looks like promotional mailers are being sent out. No new details or screenshots , but you can’t get enough of Motorola / Verizon’s Android device anyway, can you? A few more pics past the read link. Filed under:...
And finally, the puzzle pieces are coming together. There’s been a lot of confusion the past few weeks about these two new models for Verizon in Motorola’s pipeline, but by all accounts, this seems to be the A955 Droid 2 in its entirety — the true successor to the original Droid , of course, and a distinctly different product...
It was inevitable, really, that a phone as widely leaked as the Droid 2 would end up caught on video. Doing the honors for us today are Android and Me , who’ve compared the new Droid to the classic variant . Funnily enough, they didn’t find too much deviation from Motorola, describing the two handsets as “virtually identical,”...
