"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."

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.

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."
