I live in the Levittown, PA area and saw that post about Best Buy taking pre-orders for the Droid when I got home from work. I got to Best Buy by about 6:30pm and was still able to pre-order.
I made it clear that I was not eligible for an update (only 6 months into my current contract with Verizon) and that I would be paying full retail for the Droid. So, no problems there...
My Best Buy was also giving "appointments" to come in and pick up the Droid. They were making all appointments for Saturday, November 7th. I asked if I could come in on the Friday, November 6th to pick up and he said that it would not be a problem assuming that they had them. He explained that they wouldn't get them until the morning of November 6th so that is why they were making the appointments for Saturday.
So...looks like I am all set. Just need next Friday to get here.
Kind regards,
