“A number of early Droid X adopters are documenting serious graphical or possibly electrical problems with the handset’s giant screen,” Sean Hollister reports for Engadget.
“While we don’t know how widespread the issue might be quite yet, symptoms include rapid flickering and vertical banding over all or part of the 4.3-inch LCD,” Hollister reports.

That’s the fact, Jack!
Don’t worry, I’m sure Motorola has a plan in the works. They will provide every user a screen bumper that will cover it up so you don’t have to look at the piece of crap.
A gadget with problems? Dammmmit call the lawyers, the media, the government, the aliens!!!!!! Wwaaaahhhhh !!!!!!!!
Will we see an iP4-like media feeding frenzy? I doubt it. Hypocrites.
Uh, any letters from Senators?
But do their antenna’s work?
Quick, call up CR!!!!!
When will the blowhard Schumer ask for this to be corrected? Nothing else to keep him busy these days…
I wonder if that problem can be avoided if you just hold it another way. Maybe Verizon should hold a press conference and give out free iPhones to compensate for the problem.
Uh Oh!
We will not see any negatives re Droids in the press or on TV news. Last night SF local CBS station had a fellow showing how big and beautiful the screen is. Finally an iPhone killer he indicated, and also on Verizon so you can actually complete a call. Leno had another dig last night at iPhone 4 saying that too bad Mel Gibson didn’t use one then he couldn’t have made those calls to his girlfriend. Only iPhone and Apple get the constant attention of the news. Good or bad it is everywhere.

Off course not, they didn’t sell 3 million in a month.
The iPhone 4 can display anything you like. Bloodbath?

Let’s see the press jump on this one. Won’t happen. Where’s the 2 face, lying Schumer on this one, oh wait I think I see him in the Apple Store buying an IPhone 4.
RECALL!!!!
Screengate?!

To all you political wankers out there: hold it another way.
I know what the problem is… it’s the antenna getting in the way!

Perhaps, if one has paid over £500 for it. When a consumer spends money on an item it is not unreasonable to expect it to work satisfactorily out the box.
Do I have to buy the phone first or can I just start acting like Motorola and Google OWES ME big time!? WHY ARE THEY TAKING SO LONG TO FIX THIS . . . don’t they know that a very good friend of mine was thinking about buying the phone and it might have THE (insert correct problem) big problem. Why have they DONE NOTHING?
Just hold the phone at a different angle. lol….AHAHAHAHAHA
Of course this won’t get as much attention, just like it didn’t get as much attention when it was announced.
Apple, for good and for bad, are in the media’s eye more than any other tech company. When the launch of a phone is huge news its only fair that the associated problems are also big news. Nobody is picking on Apple – they are just the hot topic
Consumer Reports saw this and exclaimed, “Looks like Droid has thousands of apps you can scroll through. Recommended!”
Let’s apply the same logic the Press applies to Apple issues… Let’s recall this product now! This issue only apply to a limited number of people. That doesn’t matter, recall this product now!
It looks fine to me…hehe
