Well folks, some actual “real” facts have finally surfaced concerning the infamous Motorola X phone. Coming from Motorola's own Dennis Woodside himself, the device will come out this October and most of it will be built in Fort Worth, Texas. Woodside even gave a slight tease mentioning the device is already in his pocket.
You can expect the device to feature a galore of sensors. One being a sensor that can detect when the device has been taken out of the pocket, and even a sensor that will detect how fast you're currently traveling if you were to be in a car that way the phone will act differently for safety measures.
Sadly that's all we know about the device, screen size, processor and everything else is still up in the air. I'm sure more about the device will surface sometime this summer as it will eventually have to pass through the FCC. Stay tuned!

Pocket sensor? Doesn’t that go back at least to the Droid 2?
I don’t like the idea of safety measures forcefully implemented just because it detects travel at speeds. What about car poolers and the like? Safety should be common sense not forced practice. Thanks… to all you idiots that don’t know better! Don’t text and drive…it can wait! ;)
It says the phone will “act differently” which sounds more like the “Car Dock” feature of earlier phones. I’m not sure you won’t be able to do things, but that doing those things will be easier.
Where did it say the safety measures would be forced?
Made in the US? That’s reason enough for me. Sign me up for one!
