Got a Motorola DROID with a loose battery cover? You are not alone as many DROIDs, including ours, are similarly afflicted. If you live in fear of your battery cover falling off at the most inopportune moments, then you need to check out this quick fix from Bryan over at The Gadgeteer. The fix requires a fine touch and a flat head screwdriver to slightly bend the metal that holds the battery cover in place. Full video instructions are after the break.

If that’s real, I can now safely say that the X phone isn’t Nexus, but rather a slightly skinned Motorola phone (if that screenshot is true) because the “droid blast” icon doesn’t follow the design line of the other holo icons

“Droid Blast” sounds like something you’d need to take Imodium to prevent from happening again.

It was nice while it lasted, well, back to waiting for the next nexus in november.

Love the way the render looks.

The concept picture looks pretty sweet but the specs are a year old. If this is true, I’ll pass.

Google should give Motorola chance with next nexus device or make multiple Nexuses with more then one manufacture.
Main problem in my point view with Motorola is slow update I hope after Google acquisition it will be faster I will skip this device if it is not Nexus and I will C if Motorola getting better in updating wise or not.

Hate to kill the excitement here, but just by seeing the “droid blast” option we know it’s Verizon exclusive and that kills the possibility of it being a nexus. It would be cool to see software from all the different oem’s directly available for nexus devices or even all phones. For example, what if you like the build quality of a Motorola but the Samsung touch wiz software. Or you like HTC sense but want a removable battery and expandable storage options of Samsung Galaxy phones. This would also grant the ability to turn any hardware capable phone into a nexus style device as well.
