Droid X first impressions: nice hardware, Motorola

The well-hyped Droid X smartphone officially launched today on Verizon. Verizon claims that "hundreds" of people lined up at some Verizon Wireless corporate retail stores to be the first to buy the Android-based handset. Droid X day one has also seen a bit of controversy due to an alleged lockdown of ROM hacking by Motorola. We're in the process of putting the device through its paces for our usual in-depth review, but since we've had our review units for a few days, we wanted to share our first impressions of the hardware.
Obviously, the phone is dominated by the enormous 4.3" 854x480 pixel touchscreen display. The size is similar to the HTC EVO 4G, and is simply impressive in person. The display is bright and sharp—and the 16:9 ratio is perfect for watching HD video.
