Motorola Droid X officially announced by Verizon, $199 on contract starting July 15

The moment that lots of Verizon customers have been eagerly expecting has finally arrived: the Motorola Droid X was officially announced by the largest US carrier.

The official Droid X looks exactly as the one seen in the countless leaked photos – so there’s really no surprise here. In fact, there are no surprises when it comes to the smartphone’s features, either.

The Motorola Droid X will run Android 2.1 at launch – launch that’s planned for July 15. It will cost $199.99 with a new contract agreement for 2 years and after a $100 mail-in rebate. If you can’t wait until July 15, there might be a way to get yourself a Droid X earlier.

Here’s an almost exhaustive list of Droid X’s official specs:

Android 2.2 Froyo and Flash support will come to the Droid X in “late summer.”

Optionally, you can add the 3G Mobile Hotspot service to the Droid X for $20 per month (it allows you to connect the smartphone to up top 5 Wi-Fi-enabled devices).

I’m sure the Droid X will be one of Verizon’s best-selling smartphones throughout the year (alongside the Droid 2), especially since the HTC Droid Incredible is not at all easy to find.

    They didn't officially mention how much RAM it has. It's probably 512MB.

    Same old problem and the BIG reason why IPHONE will be king all these so called great phones are NOT international phones and I know there are some cdma countris but much smaller presence than GSM.
