Motorola Droid X is not recommended if you are a power user

Online sources are indicating that Motorola has designed their Droid X smartphone in such a way that if you play around with the OS by modding it, the phone would practically self destruct!

The company has loaded it with an eFuse security system which is designed to instantly brick the device if it notices any form of modding.


Google Android is an open platform. It encourages development by third party developers. Third party Android mods are very popular online. They become crucial in fact for users who own devices which are no longer being updated by their manufacturers.

This is a bad decision taken by Motorola. It is not going to do any good to their already battered reputation in the US market.

We can only hope that customers are made aware of this hardware based restriction.
