Before getting in line or worried, read Droid X reviews to be certain that the Droid X suits your needs and compare it to other Verizon smartphones. The closest Droid competitor is is the Droid Incredible.  Compare Droid
X vs the Droid Incredible, the X has a larger screen than the Droid Incredible, and it has TFT screen, not an incredible AMOLED(which are in short supply.)  You can also watch YouTube Droid X demos. Verizon is running a full page ad in the New York Times that states, "comes with a double antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the
phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere to make crystal
clear calls."

The Droid Incredible comes with the popular HTC Sense with all kinds of pratical social networking and widgets. Another Android competitor on the Sprint network is the HTC EVO 4G with an additional front facing video camera.

Wirefly has assured us that the Droid X will go on sale on the Wirefly website at 12:01 am PST.

"There is currently such a huge demand for Android-powered smartphones that they fly off Wirefly's virtual shelves the moment they hit the market," said Andy Zeinfeld, chief executive officer of Simplexity, parent company of Wirefly.com. "We expect the DROID X to be just as popular and are excited to offer this highly-touted device from Verizon Wireless to our millions of valued customers on the official launch."

If you choose to wait online retailers typically cut the price slightly for Droid phones within a few months.For example theHTC Droid Incredible is now $149 at Amazon Wireless.

Call First

Call and make friends at your local Verizon store reps. Picking up the
phone and speaking to Verizon reps is valuable. We've been able to find out what time shipments are arriving, make appointments, be put on waiting lists and find out other details in the past. Our local Verizon store, today, told us to get to the store before it opened on Thursday.  You can also call stores throughout the day to see if there are Droid X in stock.  When the HTC EVO 4G was launched, we found some local stores with stock and some sold-out on the same day.

Early Birds Can Land Early:

Some Verizon stores are opening early. On Wednesday we posted a list of all the Verizon stores in California opening early. Some stores in Texas are having midnight parties with pizza or hot dogs.

What to Do While Waiting

If you decide to wait in line at a store, you can download the  the Droid X Manual aka User Guide, first and read it in line so that you are ready for it. Although the Droid X is not exactly the same as the Droid Incredible our getting ready for Droid tips can save you a lot of time(ignore tip 8.)

Don't Panic

In all the glitz and excitment, stay calm,  Rest assured, Verizon spokeswoman Brend Raney said, "While we are currently experiencing delays on orders of one of our more
popular phones. We view that as an anomaly driven by a combination of  supply and popularity. At present, we feel that we have done everything  possible to ensure we have inventory to meet customer needs around the Droid X - the proof will be in the execution on July 15."
