Motorola Droid X

I have to check with my friends running the Droid X to see if any of them got grand fathered into the Verizon unlimited data plan.  I am not saying Verizon has found their iPhone but with a single device consuming the data of 5 smartphone devices that is an impressive statistic.  Considerng the Droid X and Droid Incredible are similar except for the front facing camera and screen size you have to suspect these two features account the the usage patterns.  Ok lets be honest the screen size is the reason for the insane usage.  Still impressive!

Verizon business development executive director Jennifer Byrne:

—On data consumption: “On Droid X, we’re seeing something like 5x the data usage of any other device.”

    Wow!! that is a lotta dang data.

    Has Verizon started their tiered data plans yet? I just heard about them talking about it a couple days ago, I didn’t think they had implemented it yet?

    On a side note, my wife is a heavy iphone user and she has never even come close to using 2gb’s. The most she has ever had was around 850mb or so. Still, I kept her on the unlimited plan, just on general principals. Because once you switch from unlimited to a tiered plan, there is no going back to the unlimited plan.

    You know what? I am going to call crap on this one. There is no way that it is pulling 5x over other Droid phones. Just isn’t like that is the case. I think someone is misinterpreting statistics again…

      I believe her statement is accurate but there are many thing you can assume. Droid X users consume 5x the data of any other device in it first x days on the market…over the last x days….

      You get my point. She was not extremely specific and that can work in your favor when making general statements like this.
