Went to the verizon store today to look at the droid maxx and was told that the X would be in store on the 29th.
Anyone hear differently?

Chief I have to tell you that I agree with your disappointment at the launch.
50% of the novelty of the motox are the custom designs. We find out it is an ATT exclusive and that Wood is not available. We also find out that they don't have engraving figured out yet (did they even test this?) and that even the test orders are going extremely delayed.
The other 40% comes from a pure google experience and the promise of fast updates yet they still don't have 4.3 with no announced 4.3 date. No google experience available.
Then 10% is with unlocking and new security and you don't get skip unless you buy through moto maker.
I went to the store to try out the voice commands on the maxx at verizon and the voice had not been calibrated and the phone's wouldn't let me because the store was playing music and it was too noisy.
I think I'll wait to see what samsung has to announce for the note 3 and maybe the next nexus before I make my decision.
Available online on the 29th, available in stores "in coming weeks". Yeah, good ol' Verizon.
I actually gave my local VZW retailer a call yesterday and the guy on the phone said the store had received a large shipment of Moto X's and that they would be available for sale today (yes 8/27 and not 8/29). I confirmed with him and will check it out later today after work.
I didn't want to waste my time coming into work late and getting stopped by some VZW computer system from buying the phone.

Is this store a VZW owned corporate store or an authorized dealer? Reason I ask is that all the corporate stores near me act like they've never heard of the phone before, but some of the authorized dealers are less than strict with their enforcement of release dates. If your area has them and is willing to sell early, I will start hitting up some stores after work!
Wow, I just called my Verizon corporate store and asked if a demo would be available Thursday. I was told they have "no confirmed date". UGH
I did the same thing and had a near exact experience. I also couldn't really take a good picture, due to the damn security tether, lol.I went to an AT&T store and played with an X for about 20 minutes yesterday. [...] Love it.
