On a side note...I called my local Verizon Wireless store this afternoon asking if they have a demo of the phone in the store yet. The Verizon employee said:

"I'll be honest with you...we do have one...but we're not supposed to show it to anyone."

How that makes sense I will never know.

If they can't sell it, they don't want to show it. They're taught to sell what they have.

LOL, man... I was going to ask my boy in DC to try and get the phone for me, but from the sounds of this I don't think he'll have much of a chance... oh well, haha!

You have any pics of your whole setup?

"@design_flaw Certificates aren't placed until the GPS coordinates are tweeted. "

Hey everyone, new to the forum. just wanted to help w the search if possible. I was at James Hook yesterday, my son and I searched the restaurant before the coords were tweeted, and they do not hide it until it's tweeted. I think the clue before the coords is definately what you need to Google. If you google live lobster Boston, it comes up James Hook, same w the Long Time thing in NY. You need to be basically next to the certificate when coords are sent to win, it's just too quick. I figured out the general area of where it would be, and was drooped off at James Hook. What messed me up was the clue before the coords included the word waterproof, and there's a bridge next to the restaurant, with water at the end. They then changed that tweet not to include the waterproof part. I should've turned around, and went back, but I didn't. I was the 3rd person there, after she won. Hope this helps somewhat, the tweet before the coords needs to be Googled! Good luck everyone.

Welcome to the forum!
Yeah, that's pretty much what we've been doing. People here have guessed the location based on their Google searches before the coords for all 3 so far. You def have to be very close to the coords when they're posted or you have no chance!
 
So, do I get any credit for predicting the general area of the place the day before with absolutely no clues? I predicted the dock across the river. See my post at:

Hollywood Studios @ Disney has the Star Wars experience that's coming to an end pretty soon after like 20 years. Sounds like a pretty good idea since the term "Droid" is leased from Lucasfilm.

If I had to pick a single starting point that would be it, Paarrttyy!
 
It looks like the guy sitting down doing paperwork with her is her friend. He's checking out the Droid like he's never seen one before while she fills out the paperwork. The guy to his left is part of the team; he probably helped hide it/sticks around to not look too suspicious but that hat is ridiculous.

I looked at that too, it was a company, but it was random. I asked if he, or any of them were at the one in NY, they said the woman w the cam was, I think she may be the tweeter? The other guys were wearing black t's w red writing on the back w the rule the air slogan.

I thought the guy with the blue lettering on his shirt said "Motorola".

Islands of Adventure could be another hiding place for Droid X if it is in Orlando.
 
Gotta be Orlando... Way more theme parks there than Tampa.
When you talk theme parks in Florida (heck even in general) most people's first thought would be Orlando.
