Hardware

Are you fascinated with the innards of a mobile device and dying to see what is inside of Verizon Wireless’ flagship DROID X handset? If you answered with an enthusiastic “Yes!”, then check out the disassembly video and 26 photo exposè put together by DROIDX.net. Unlike iFixit which painstakingly identifies each and every component, this disassembly is more a “How-To” guide designed to prep future DROID X owners who wish to take apart their own handset when it lands next month. Potential followers looking to tear down their DROID X should note that there is a no re-assembly guide at this time and should take heed as the phone is useless once it is broken down to its side rails and motherboard. Nonetheless if you’re interest is piqued, hit the read link to gawk at all the guts and glory of this upcoming Android handset.

    I really hope they start identifying parts. I can’t wait to see what this beast is made of.

    I wish someone did a test to see how terrible the is going to be. Since this in all likelihood will be my next phone I’m curious. It won’t be as bad as an htc phone, but my cliq sucks with battery life even under light to moderate use

      Motorola is claiming it will have the same battery life as the original DROID, which translates to “battery life will suck” I don’t muse my droid for very much, but by 4 pm, the phone is already on its last leg. Sometimes I feel like they should just sell these phones with a car battery instead.

      The nice thing about all the non-iphone smartphones is that you can replace the battery. Go on ebay, you can get an external charger + 2 batteries for not that much money. I know it’s not a perfect solution but it works well. Also, for the record I’m not trying to start the neverending iphone/android flame war. I had an iphone and it was nice enough but I wished the entire time that it had had a replaceable battery.
