We got some news today from 3 Verizon reps that the Motorola Droid Xtreme (two of the reps kept calling it the Droid X) would be coming to Verizon this July. There have been some rumors flying around about a "Father's Day" launch, but according to all 3 this won't be happening. If you haven't heard about the Motorola Droid Xtreme here is what you've missed:

- 9 Home screens to customize

- Running Android 2.1 will be 2.2 later

- 1 Ghz Snapdragon processor

- 8mp Camera with 720p HD Camcorder

- Motoblur (ninjablur) is still in question

All in all this phone is very exciting news. Now if we could only get a date or even some pictures of the Motorola Droid 2, that would make us smile.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I've been working really hard on my Droid to get it just where I want it. I'm going to be shooting a video very soon on the top 10 reasons why you should root your Droid. It's going to have a lot of great stuff, so keep checking back!

Disclaimer: If you Root your Droid it will void your warranty with Motorola. I, nor the Calebnance team are held responsible for you wanting to make your Droid awesome by Rooting it, only to have it bricked. Enjoy!

Update:

I've had time to compose my thoughts, and figure out exactly what I want to say. I do plan on doing a video soon, but I figured I would give you a taste of what's coming soon. Here are my top 10 reasons to root your Droid, based on my personal experience.

10. Cachemate

This is a great app for clearing up that unwanted cache on your phone. Having the ability to clear your cache can help some apps or even your phone run faster and smoother. The newest version will allow you to clear you market seach history. This was the best thing for me. I just have a pet peeve when I can see everything that I have searched for, that I will never need again.

9. Terminal Emulator

With this app you can push, move, or do basically anything from a command prompt form. As long as you know what you are doing, you can really see how this app comes in handy. (You can use this app without root, but it's basically like having the keys to a Porsche that you don't have)

Specs:

- 3.1" touchscreen

- 3.5 mm headphone jack

- Micro Sd memory slot (able to hold up to 16 Gb)

- 3.0 Mp camera w/ flash

- Full HTML web broswer

- Full qwerty keyboard for easy texting

- VCast and VZ navigator compatible

- Mp3 Playback

- Touchwiz 2.0 UI

- EV-DO Rev. A support

Quick Look:

Coming to Verizon Wireless on Septmber 8th is the Samsung Rogue. This is the second installment of the Glyde, that was released on Verizon a while back. Now before you get worried, because your old Glyde didn't hold up to the hype you thought it would. The Rogue is running with Touchwiz 2.0! This makes the touch buttons very finger friendly and customizable widgets as seen on the Omnia. With a very sharp looking 3.1" touchscreen, EV-DO Rev. A support, and a 3.0 Mp camera this phone is sure to meet your needs and do much more. Overall this is going to be one of the hottest phones that Verizon is lauching this year. The price should be roughly around $199 for a new line and $249 for an upgrade.

Design:

The body of the Rogue is very slick and not big at all, so putting it in your pocket, purse, or gym bag isn't going to be a hassle carrying it around. It is a slider phone that is very quick to change from portrait to landscape when it is slide out. The full qwerty keyboard is very spacious so even those of us with bigger hands can still type away with ease. There is a speaker on the back that could of been a little bit louder then what it was already, but still gave great sound quality. Using the D-Pad while surfing will make things a lot easier for some, but others can still use their finger tips. I really love when phones have a dedicated speaker phone button and the Rogue has it as well! Makes it a lot easier when you are driving and on important phone call. Overall the design gives it a nice look so that your phone is what people will talk about.

Features:

The 3.0 Mp camera gave some pretty nice shots overall. It was able to handle brightness and adjust itself with ease. The Rogue is going to support Full HTML. This makes surfing the web look like you are just sitting on your computer at home, making facebook, myspace, and twitter a lot easier to do on the road. The menu styles and speed of the phone were really nice and smooth, I never really experienced any lag from anything. The Rogue will also have V-Casy support featuring: V-Cast TV, Music, VZ-Navigator, and more! This is going to be a very nice phone and I do recommend it.
