If you were itching to get the Droid X directly from Verizon but haven’t yet pulled the trigger, you’re in for a teeny wait; the website is now indicating that new orders will be shipped by July 23rd.
That’s about a week away and good news for Verizon. Sure, they’d probably prefer to have even more stock to sell this very second, but being sold out indicates that demand is there and the devices are flying off the shelves.
A lot of people still plan to go with the HTC Incredible, many of them hounded me for recommending the Droid X, noting rumored issues with the bootloader and beyond. Those people will be waiting even longer because Verizon’s website points to an August 3rd delivery date for the Droid Inredible.
Verizon continues to push Android pretty hard but it seems like customers are pulling even harder. How many people are now on the VZW Droid Wait List? Oh… just a reminder… you may want to check our Special Offer on the Droid X (also subject to availability).

I dont mind if there is no way to root the phone provided motorola updates it ontime.
I had friends in VZW and that’s what I heard from them that at around 3pm the system has 100K Droid X inventory sold. 13K is very untrue and I’m just wondering how many was sold after the first day.
You also have to consider that each VZW store keeps anywhere from 1-4 devices for the display models so if all 2,200 stores kept an average of 2 devices for display(and the number is probably higher) then that would leave only 8600 devices available for purchase or an average of 4 devices per store!
@Zac… There are over 2,200 VZW retail stores in the USA so if they only had 13k X’s each store would have only gotten an average of 6 devices and that doesn’t include the online store! If anybody believe’s that number even for half a second they are CLUELESS! VZW wouldn’t spend a single penny to advertise a device if they only had 13k let alone do a huge ad campaign spending millions of dollars like they did with the Droid X!
@zac It would not surprise me to see VZW create an artificial sell out. Put out a low # to guarantee a sell out and create more hype. But 13K sounds low considering they advertised on ABC last night all night long, I think Fox too.
@zac – There couldn’t have been only 13k. I saw two screen shots of two Verizon warehouses that had over 50k on Droid Life and I’m sure Verizon has more than two warehouses.
Actually only around 13000 they were severely under stocked on purpose. I bought the vibrant today and will take it and my 12.7 benchmark all day long
I’m so glad I placed my order this morning online and got shipping confirmation. I heard that at around 3pm VZW has sold over 100K Droid X. So how many was sold in all?
got mine today after it was sold out in my nearest store. i drove 45 miles for a phone and LOVE it!!!!!!!
@droidum, remember the old adage: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Some ppl will be just content with the Incredible and battery issues can be alleviated with bump charging, extra charger, extended battery, or extra batteries.
Both fine devices. i wouldn’t call it battery issues. The Incredible is just like any other smartphone, batteries drain fast when you use it heavily.
The battery life on my Droid X is amazing! I’m impressed.
HTC Incredible over the Droid X… no-way… not with the battery issues on the HTC Incredible.
Just look how many went on the Droid X hunt!
