Credit to maddigital. Thanks!!!!
 
Those are some awesome pics! What are the dimensions of the phone? The evo is really wide so I hope the X is a little less so but its not a huge deal.

I know right? I am so happy that I sold the Incredible on Ebay a while back. I only bought it for 130 and sold it for 600, I love ebayers. I hated selling my Incredible, was planning on buying another eventually but with the Droid X coming out, there is no chance I will buy the Incredible again.

I love how big it is, I loved the Evo and would have bought it if it wasn't for me loving Verizon. The only thing I will miss is Sense, but personally I still like stock the best, but love the widgets from Sense. Good thing I have beautiful widgets, and at least Moto blur/ ninja blur looks a lot better than it did back in the day.

I am exciting for a official annoucement, thanks for keeping us updated!!!
 
I wonder why they switched from the 4.1 to the 4.3 screen. I'm assuming this is the recent "hardware change" that we heard about. I wish it were slightly smaller...that 4" screen might be a nice sweet spot...maybe the same width but slightly shorter. Will need need to hold the X to see if it's too big. That screen is pretty stunning though.

After having it for a couple days, does the size bother you? Or have you gotten used to it?

Yeah, i was contemplating getting the incredible because i prefer sense, but this looks amazing, i hope that at some point, th ui's can be on the market and you can download which one u want to use, allthough it will take a while...but the x looks amazing!! Thanks

why does the screen look flush at the bottom and slightly recessed at the top?

The screen lies beneath a plane of glass, and that is why you see the recessed edge of plastic lining the glass.

This phone looks like a behemoth next to the others. It's a thing of beauty. I really wish it had a front camera but there's always the X
 
something I noticed. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the lighting from mad's pics, but the four buttons on the bottom appear to be touch sensitive on mad's and the look like physical buttons in all the other leaked pictures. Like I said it may just be the lighting. Care to clarify mad?
 
Nice pics, cool to see what it looks like next to an EVO just held a demo model of one today, seeing as this will be slightly longer and thinner I can't wait to get it in my hands.

I'd say it was just the lighting but I think you may have something there. Notice the reflection/glare that goes from the bottom of the phone to the bottom of the Search button. You should see the bevel of the physical button there but you don't.

I guess we wait for Mad to say something.
 
Pretty sure they're physical buttons, in the picture next to the Eris they look like actual buttons to me I just think it's the lighting in the other picture that doesn't show the buttons well.
 
one thing i notice about maddigital's photo is that the red camera button isn't as noticeable as in the gadget U pics. just the angle i suppose.
 
Whoa that thing is big. Sexy but big. After playing with the EVO for a bit and realizing it just wasn't that comfortable to handle one-handed I think the X will be the same way. Gonna have to get it in hand before making a decision.
 
As a father with two small children, I am a bit disappointed too. Not a deal breaker but certainly not enough to make me switch from Verizon's network.

At the pace new android phones are coming out, it won't be long before we'll get that front facing camera and when it does I'll get that too!

Speaking for all of the grandfathers out there who want to see their grandchildren on the phone calls, I am extremely disappointed with No Front Facing Camera. I am a long time VZ customer and was really looking forward to this phone. They have probably just forced me to leave.

Mad, thank you for the awesome pics! Can't wait to give this a try and give my incredible to my wife!


Make sure you go back a to page 4 to thank MAD for the pics!
 
Hey Maddigital thanks for the great pics and specs! I was wondering if you could tell us how the back of the phone looks behind the battery door, if it clips on or slides on like the Droid. Also I was wondering if the Droid X has a red camera button cause everyone is speculating but I didn't see it in your pictures. Thanks again for everything.
