Privacy Concerns Raised For Droid X

Well it couldn’t remain invulnerable forever! While nothing close to the EVO’s little secret, Droid X users have discovered that just deleting a text message or call log will not prevent it from showing up on the phone. Apparently, even after deletion these items can be found in the contact app under Contact History. Luckily, these are all deleted after a system wipe so this isn’t nearly as bad as some other issues on other devices. This can be disconcerting for some, though. When Verizon was asked about it, they said that it was an issue tied in with the MotoBlur software installed, not Verizon’s and can be found in other Motorola handsets as well. Hmm, I seem to remember a rep very specifically stating that there was no form of MotoBlur at all on the device, and that the only additions/tweaks were a joint venture between Motorola and Verizon. We’re not pointing fingers though are we? (Skip to 0:30)

Hmm, what’s your opinion? Is this a serious flaw? Let us know in the comments!

    It’s only an issue of you are stupid enuf to text or email something you wouldn’t want aired in public. Nothing is totally private in the digital age. Get used to it!
