Gerald, allow me to confirm that. As a Verizon broadband customer, I read
that in the mailer that came with last month's bill.

I've read that Verizon will charge an extra fee and a data cap to use it

Just the ability for it to be a hotspot makes it worth a lot. I didn't
know it could do that.

While the world continues to line up for the latest iPhone — reception problems
and all — Verizon's just-announced jumbo-screen Motorola Droid X has racked up
a bevy of admiring reviews.
David Pogue at the New York Times calls the Droid X (slated to arrive July 15
for $199, with a two-year Verizon Wireless contract and after a mail-in rebate)
a "big, beautiful contender" with an "almost-Imax screen" (4.3 inches
diagonally, to be exact, or almost a inch bigger than the iPhone's 3.5-inch
display). The phone performs like a "speed rocket," Pogue gushes, and benefits
from Google's "open and customizable" (and soon Flash-supporting) Android OS,
although he also complains about a few nagging quirks (the security warnings
before you download Android apps, the wonky screen rotation, the Wi-Fi-less
Skype).
The Droid X battery "gets you through a full day easily," Pogue continues, and
there's also Verizon's "expensive but not-call-dropping network," as well as
the handset's ability to act as a mobile hotspot for other Wi-Fi devices. That
said, the Droid X isn't for everyone, Pogue warns, saying that the "absolutely
huge" shell makes you feel "as if you're talking into a frozen waffle" when
you're making a call, and that although Android is a great OS for "technically
proficient high-end users," it's "more complicated and less polished" than
Apple's iOS.
