*** Official Motorola Droid X Pre-Release Thread***

So, now I'm thinking about it..... do I pre-order (if/when available) or go to the store the morning of? Getting it early morning instead of waiting for fedex/ups seems appealing. Either way I will probably take the day off work. :D

just got off phone with VW and they told me no pre-orders. I think they want a few pictures of people lined up on the 15th looking like iphone junkies.
 
I might get up early to go visit but not the day before. ;)

My thoughts exactly. I will probably head over a few hours early (store opens at 9) and hope for the best. I'm not camping out.

Worse comes to worse and I can't get one that morning I will call my corporate rep and see if he can help me out.
 
My hope is to preorder online. Don't want to do the wait in line thing.

CS told me no pre orders but of course they don't always know what they're talking about. An Interesting tidbit is that they are waiving the restock fee on the dinc so that we can exchange for Droid X (at least that what the CSR said) My 30 days runs out on the 17th but I don't think I'll have my Dinc past the 15th:eek: I NEED BIGGER SCREEN..........My eyes are old
 
Yep, here we go again playing the waiting game with VZW. Their marketing dept. must be rolling in laughter at all the queries about each new Android phone. I'd LOVE to be a fly on the wall at one of their strategy meetings. I'd be a fly with a live streaming blog.
never mind ................. I just noticed I already post it here. NO PRE ORDERS
 
Any info on how many units are going to ship out for the July 15th release date?

No and I don't think they would release such info out it plain sight like that. believe me, I have her ear to the pulse of this thing. If I get any new info about this I'll post for sure.
 
I thought the same thing, but I don't think this will be anything like the DI simply because there won't be any parts shortages with this phone.
 
My guess is that Verizon is just wanting the anticipation of this phone to build and build untill launch day. Creating some buzz, hype, or whatever you wanna call it. I think its genius marketing! Providing of course I get my hands on one lauch day. otherwise its the dumbest strategy ever! !!!

Is this EVEN if you activate it? Is this in writing somewhere?
 
Well, I got a reseller to take my name and number down and he'll call me as soon as he gets his first one in. That's all I could manage but my brother used to work for Verizon corporate and he said corporate stores always will get stock first before any resellers do. Guess I'll start waiting at about 7:30am on July 15th morning in front of my corporate store.

I can understand this, but I will also be unhappy if I don't get one on opening day. No preorders really sucks for those of us that have to be at work.
 
I have already posted that VZW will not be doing pre orders of this phone. Its on there official intranet home page


Since you said intranet I assume you know someone that works for verizon or you do yourself? I ask cause if this is the case I will just accept that I am not going to be able to preorder.
 
Well, the no pre-oreder thing kinda blows for me cause I will be in Atlanta that day. I was going to pre-oreder online and have it sent to my parents house cause me and my wife are swinging by their town before we go home. I guess I will be sitting outside some verizon in ATL. Does anyone know where a real verizon store is located in ATL?
 
I had a question, you know how on htc phones, the theme color when you type or browse is green, and on the droid the theme is red, can you change this, i dont really like the red.
