the keypad.

Tips:

To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”), drag through the n as though it was an apostrophe.

To enter several symbols, touch SYM.

To correct a word, double-tap it. Swype shows a small menu of other word options. Swype might also show a menu if it can’t guess your word.

If Swype doesn’t know a word, you can still touch the letter keys to enter it. Swype remembers, so next time you can just drag over the letters.

Multi-touch keyboard

Enter text a letter at a time. As you type, your phone suggests words from your dictionary and chosen language. Your phone also automatically enters apostrophes in some words, like “dont.”

This flagship device was marketed primarily on the Verizon Wireless network and boasted advanced technology that appealed to both tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.

At first glance, the DROID X captured attention with its impressive 4.3-inch TFT display, featuring a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. This large screen made it ideal for media consumption, browsing the web, and playing games. The device was designed with a sleek and sturdy body, offering both aesthetics and durability, which enhanced its appeal.

Under the hood, the DROID X was equipped with a 1 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP3630 processor, providing users with smooth multitasking capabilities and fast application performance. This processing power was complemented by 512 MB of RAM, allowing users to run multiple applications simultaneously without significant lag.

One of the hallmark features of the DROID X was its 8-megapixel rear camera, which included capabilities such as autofocus, LED flash, and 720p video recording. This camera enabled users to capture high-quality images and videos, setting a standard for mobile photography at its release. Additionally, the device also had a front-facing camera, allowing for video calls and self-portraits.

The DROID X ran on Android 2.2 Froyo at launch, offering access to the vast array of applications available through the Android Market.
