Motorola Droid X Screen Failures, Privacy Issue

From DailyTech: Just days after launching the Motorola Droid X -- Verizon's non-QWERTY follow-up to the massively successful Motorola Droid -- a few issues have been reported by early adopters, the most serious being a bug with the screen that can render the device useless. Neowin posted videos that demonstrate the issues, which range from flickering screens to vertical stripes of dead pixels.

A commenter on HowardForums stated that Verizon tech support told him that the Android update currently rolling out to the Droid X will fix the problem.

In response to an Engadget inquiry, Verizon released this statement:

"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."

Another issue, cited by BoyGeniusReport, seems to be tied to the MOTOBLUR overlay that the Droid X runs and has to do with privacy. On the X, and other devices that run BLUR, deleted text messages and call logs still show up under contacts history. It appears that the only way to completely delete unwanted texts and call history is to perform a master reset on the handset.
