Droid X Does More Than One Campaign Style

We expect Verizon to continue the Droid Does train with the release of the Motorola Droid X headed our way in just over two weeks, but it seems the device will get shine in some of Verizon’s other ads, as well.

Many a Sprint customer woke up to an unfortunate side effect to Sprint and HTC’s fixes this morning for the HTC EVO 4G: it actually broke some phones instead of fixing them.
