Heads up, Droid X's shipping early....

Quick heads up guys for any of you that are waiting for your Droid to arrive. I placed my order on 23 July with 3 Aug shipping date, just received email notifying me that the Droid X has shipped and should be with me tomorrow.....


your region may have something to do with you early ship date, I also ordered on the 23rd hoping to get similar news :) what state do you live in?

I placed my order on 7/23 around 1:30 or 2:00 EST, via telesales and was given the typical "should ship by 8/3". I called yesterday (Sunday, 7/25) and asked if there had been any progress on the order. The lady looked and told me there was no shipping indication yet, but the estimated "ship by" date on my order was now 7/27. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to call at lunch and find out there is a tracking #. I'm in Western NY.

Well I don't live too far from you and ordered 7/23 around 3:15pm, so we should be getting our X's around the same time. I'll Keep you posted once i get my shipping confirmation and please do the same :).

Don't hold your breath. To say they're shipping these randomly is kind. You may be fortunate enough to have yours shipped at the same time, but don't be surprised if that's not the case.

Based on posts on this forum, I have a hunch that calling Verizon to inquire sets some "trigger" that gets the order pulled up in the shipping line. I had other business to address this morning, and while I was on the phone, I asked about the order. If it ships within the next day or two, I'm not inclined to call it mere coincidence that I asked about it and it happened to ship.

Soooo you know how everyone is always saying how stupid the VZW service folks are? Well it seems like there may be something to that rumor.... I called today and when the lady saw I ordered on 7/23 she gave me the canned "should ship by 8/3". When I pressed her about what the other rep told me yesterday ("should ship by 7/27") she had no clue.

I'm now wondering if the rep I spoke with yesterday was just misquoting the estimated ship date schedule. You'll recall that when orders initially began getting delayed, the ship date was first pushed to 7/23, then to 7/27 and most recently to 8/3. Perhaps my rep on Sunday looked at the incorrect date range and told me the 27th. I'm going to try back in a bit and see what a third rep can tell me.

On the plus side, if I continue receiving inconsistent info, it could give me something to get a little irate about and maybe lead to a pushed up ship date? Probably not, but a guy can dream right? (I mean I can't dream about fish taco aaaaaalllll the time... gotta switch it up a bit LOL)
