Anyone have nightmares recently that the screen on your brand-new Droid X was flickering and banding into oblivion? Then you realize you're not dreaming at all; that you just dropped upwards of $600 on a phone, and after a few hours, you can't even get past the lockscreen. But instead of skirting the issue for a month and then holding a glamorous PowerPoint press conference, Verizon swiftly recognized that they shipped some defective Droid X devices. Furthermore, the Verizon rep did explain that the problem is not widespread at all; only 1 in 1000 devices should have these defective screens. And according to the quote, Motorola has already resolved the issue, and new Droid X shipments should not be delayed:
Verizon Wireless and Motorola are aware of a very small number of DROID X units that have experienced a flickering or banding display. Motorola has resolved the issue and is continuing to ship the phones. Any consumer who experiences a flickering or banding display should contact a Motorola customer support center or Verizon Wireless
If you have experienced this issue with your Droid X, make sure you let Verizon Wireless know as soon as possible, so you can get a replacement. And make sure you don't just settle for a free Bumper.
