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

ah alright thanks for clearing that up. i have the sdk with 2.2 and they looked similar, with the exception of one having a yet un-released motoblur and the stock froyo
 
Ok, called back the same store and this time they said they were announcing it tomorrow and their shipment was coming in on friday...hmmmmmm

I think the sales people in that store are clueless. Unless a District Manager said that, I would take it with a grain of salt.

I used to work for Verizon. As a sales guy, sometimes we would say things that we weren't sure of just to get people in the store and try to sell them other things lol.
 
I won't put the number here in case its one of the stores the Droid Escaped to, I need it for myself! haha

On a side note, just got a tweet alert, the Droid X has a 4.3" screen!!!!!!!! ZOMG!
 
i just cant' wait to get either this or the incredible and be done with my terrible tour. i'm the cheapest person alive and very willing to pay full retail for either one of those phones to be rid of my blackberry.

I'm in the EXACT same boat as you.

Wife got me an iPod Touch for my birthday, so after having that for a while I decide I want to get a smartphone, and being that I have VZW I got the best smartphone they had at the time, the stinking tour. Color me disappointed. Then to add insult to injury the Android for Verizon announcement comes a couple months later...then the OG Droid.

I loathe the blackberry. This OS might have been impressive 5 years ago, but come on.

Wow, I am in a very similar boat as well. My current cell phone is the Blackberry Curve 8330, I'd trade you for your Tour haha. My daughter found an iPod Touch in the park a few weeks ago, ever since then I've been researching which smartphone to buy. I'm so glad I didn't preorder the iPhone, as I fell in love with the Android OS and now the upcoming Droid X.

Can't wait to get my hands on the Droid X, then comes the waiting game for the root to be developed. :D

The iPod Touch is a cool gadget, but AT&T and having to use that horrid program iTunes to do ANYTHING w/ it is a dealbreaker.

iTunes? What's that? ;)

I jailbroke it within 30 minutes, the only thing I used iTunes for was to do a reset so I could get through the previous owner's passcode. Since then, I've downloaded everything for it though Installous, Cydia, and apptrackr. I haven't sync'd it with iTunes even once yet hehe. It has lots of goodies and apps on it though.

I couldn't imagine actually owning an iPhone/iPod and NOT jailbreaking it.
 
Yea the reviewers are going to get them regardless. This is going to be a scavenger hunt for the masses. These tweets are just build-ups until tomorrow's announcement. Then they SHOULD start releasing the real hints.

There is one thing that I question in all of this. If the "Droid X has everything it needs" means that they are secretly in select Verizon Wireless stores, what is to stop the workers from exploiting them? If an employee knows that one is there, I'm sure they would tell one of their friends to come and get it when the tweet goes out.

Of course, this is merely speculation. I am basing this off of the Bio for the Twitter page:


  • Bio The next generation of does is coming soon, but you might get yours before that. Droid X phones are hidden across the country. Follow us for clues.
If they are only messing with us or not really giving some away, that would be a pretty sick joke considering the hype about this phone.

I don't see how having everything it needs means that it will be in stores...

True, but I MIGHT be right. I might be wrong. That's the fun part of trying to decipher hints :D

That might not even be a hint. I mean, if the tweeter can post "1Ghz Snapdragon processor" in error, then abruptly remove it, who knows what any of this means lol.
 
Hell's Kitchen, and flipped to stupid America's got talent on commercials....so I am not sure what channel played them between the 2.
 
saw an INcredible commercial... no X though....


Any thoughts on where to stay posted tomorrow? Where to lurk and hang out and wait for news. What time is the annoucemnt supposed to be?
