Zeus Kerravala, who is an analyst at Yankee Group, says that the earier release of Droid X that is to use all the bad publicity Iphone 4.
Verizon has not been slow to exploit antenna problems of Iphone 4, as a consumer magazine Consumer Reports recently warned. In the ads, the company produced exclusively to Droid X “dual antennas” which allows the user to “hold the phone how you want” and use it from anywhere to call.
