The 15-second commercial for the Motorola Droid X is more akin to a futuristic science fiction film than a commercial for a smart phone.
The teaser doesn't mention anything about the product or its features, but when do advertisements actually sell products anymore? The main focus seems to now be on the product's brand rather than the product itself.
The Motorola brand is all about high-tech gadgetry, and the ad follows this accordingly using the Motorola Droid X. Check out the video and be prepared to feel like you're watching a trailer for the latest sci-fi thriller.
