In addition, some of the other compelling features that the Droid X boasts of include a 4.3-inch screen; 24GB built-in storage, expandable up to 40GB; an on-screen keyboard; and Adobe Systems’ Flash software.

Along with highlighting the features of the Droid X, the Motorola ad also took a dig at the design of the iPhone 4, particularly emphasizing the antenna issue that has already become quite an eye-sore for Apple, with the company yet to announce that the problem will be rectified in the next manufacturing lot of the handset.
