Posted on 29 July 2010 by Elizabeth

Soon after Apple released a video of the death grip causing the Motorola Droid X loose the signals when held, here comes a response from Motorola. The Motorola Droid X advert mocks down the Apple iPhone 4 with the caption stating “No Jacket Required “.

Since Apple has chosen the latest released mobile and showed it to the world that, the Motorola Droid X also has the antenna problems, this advert from Motorola can be said as an answer to Apple.

Check out what the Motorola Droid X advert says below.

At Motorola, we believe a customer shouldn’t have to dress up their phone for it to work properly. That’s why the DROID X comes with a dual antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like to make crystal clear calls without a bulky phone jacket. For us it’s just one of those things that comes as a given when you’ve been making mobile phones for over 30 years.

Apple may or may not respond to this Motorola Droid X advert as it is busy covering the other mobile phones and showing the world that every mobile phone has sensitive parts. This is getting more interesting than what was expected. Stay tuned for more updates.
