Droid X sees price, and internal memory drop

Droid X for 10 bucks

The Motorola Droid X has just seen an across the board price drop, ranging from $149.99 (with a 2 year agreement) at Verizon's website, to a whopping $9.99 (see above) with a two year plan at Costco.  A big player in the price reduction may be the fact that Motorola has decreased the internal memory from 16 GB to 2 GB.  Or maybe it has something to do with the Droid X2 leak that came and went and the X is reaching the end of its short life.

In any case, if you've been eyeing one, now would be a good time to grab it before its too late, and maybe you'll get lucky and find one on the shelf that still has the 16 GB of memory.  [Android Central forums] Thanks anon and everyone who sent this one in!

Its even changed on the Motorola site already. 2GB MicroSD listed...

mwilkins says:

I guess Verizon figures that everyone who cares about the larger card being installed either has or would have bought the DX by now.

quixoticelixer says:

I remember that woman giving the first look at the Dx. She was outdoors at some city cafe, sounded nervous to even be holding it. Lol

cj100570 says:

That title is a little erroneous. The internal memory, 8GB, hasn't changed. It's the pre-installed 16GB micro sdcard that has seen a capacity drop.

DNicolasL says:

That's a great price

rgray331975 says:

The "internal" memory fooled me too

IceDree says:

Me too

crxssi says:

It is not "memory", it is "storage"! Memory = RAM.

Jet300 says:

Considering you can install a customer launcher like Launcher Pro and never see or hear from Motoblur again ... that's a pretty inaccurate statement to say the least ....

goblueboy says:

not worth buying imo. LOCKED BOOTLOADERZ even if you don't fancy your self a custom rom-er. motoblur is crapware

El Jefe says:

We can root, we have ROMS, we can overclock/undervolt. The only thing we can't do is install custom kernels. Big deal.

All of this "Motorola is bad because of locked bootloaders" nonsense is overrated. I wouldn't trade my DX for anything HTC has released to this point.

IceDree says:

People are making a big deal out of it
they go like "Don't buy Motorola , they have a locked bootloader"
So what if it was locked ? Big deal

The only thing will make me change my MileStone is the Atrix (or GSM Droid X , but we know that its not gonna happen"

Mr. B says:

Since the price has dropped does this mean the Droid X won't
be getting the Gingerbread update?

dchawk81 says:

Only 10 bucks? Holy crap.

zandroid says:

upgraded my line, after taxes cost me $65. it came with 16 gig sd card, internal memory is at 8 gigs. worth it for me, my account has an available upgrade all the time, so when the latest and greatest drops, i sell this one and cover the new phone.

TheFlash98 says:

I'm not completely up to date with the specs. Is this internal irremovable memory? or MicroSD memory? If its internal memory then that's definitely a Fail.

Jet300 says:

Its just the MicroSD card ... No big whoop ... Buy the DX for 10 bucks and go to Amazon and buy a 16GB card for $20-$25. Its still a great deal.

charlier180 says:

Looks like the DX has reached the point in it's sales life where vendors are trying to reduce the inventory of their units. Moto also probably has/is starting to wind down production as well.
