Droid X

• In an article for Eweek.com called, "10 Important Features Every Owner Should Know," Don Reisinger mentions some major advantages of the phone for business professionals. For those who send messages via text or email, the Droid promises faster messaging because of a mechanism that allows users to type by simply putting their finger on a letter or character and dragging into place. However, the Droid X does have a virtual keyboard for those accustomed to using it. Another advantage for the business professional is the advanced Wi-Fi connectivity offered by the phone. While other smartphones provide Internet access depending on range, Droid X users, if with several friends in a single area, can access the Internet over Verizon's 3G network.
