I took off the battery and same thing...i waited to bettery drained but when i chraged it, the same thing happened?
 
You got the RED Red Eye of Death. Were you getting spontaneous reboots? If so just return, If not, it may have been an app. Either way, hold alt & x then press the power button, while holing them all a triangle will come up. the let go and simultaneously hit camera and volume up. then a menu will come up so you can use the dpad to select factory reset.

Tried the factory reset but it won't get passed the RED EYE (of DEATH). Will have to try the verizon store to see if they give me a phone, since i ordered it online on verizon site. Might have to do on the site but i won't recieve til tuesday. With no phone. :(

you should be able to exchange it for another DROID at the Verizon Wireless store in person...they have a 30 day money back/exchange policy...no questions asked...:D

good luck bro and keep us posted...
