It’s part of its campaign to show that every cellphone on the market has antenna issues. The problem with the Droid X is no one could replicate the issue. Motorola took out a full page ad to make sure everyone know that the Droid X doesn’t need a jacket to protect from the “Death Grip”. I’m glad Motorola responded in such a great way.
