Verizon Adds EVO-Like Phone!

Competition is a great thing.  By the end of Summer you can have a killer "App Phone" from your choice of carriers.

Sprint of course currently offers the EVO with its 4.3" display, dual cameras and 4G connectivity.

AT&T offers the iPhone 4 with its smaller display, dual cameras and the AT&T ball and chain for connectivity

Verizon will be offering the Droid X, a slightly stripped down version of the EVO.

Well, it appears to be an EVO, sans the front facing camera, FM radio and 4G connectivity.  It does include a dual noise cancelling dual microphone ala iPhone 4.  I honestly don't know of the EVO has the dual mic feature or not.

The Droid X also offers an additional hardware button for the camera.  It ships with a 16GB flash card rather than the 8GB provided by Sprint with the EVO.

The rest of the specs are identical to the EVO and stock Android 2.1.

Two interesting features I see in the video are that the microUSB and HDMI ports are on the side rather than the bottom as in the EVO.  This makes more sense for docking solutions and that it uses a mechanical shutter for the camera.  Again, I don't know of the EVO uses a mechanical shutter.

Motorola has certainly done a great job in cloning the HTC EVO and Verizon customers will be happy to not be left behind.
