From Verizon - 170 Droid X's shipped early in error.

Looks like the rumors were true. I know a couple of the lucky few have already spoken up on these forums. I would've loved to get a hold of one and resell it on eBay... Good news is we're less than a week away from the release anyway.

From Verizon: 170 DROID X Devices Shipped Early - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

Just release the phone already.... stores already have them but can't sell them til the 15th.

I really wish they would release it now!! I'm impatient Seriously I understand street dates, etc. but with the HTC Incredible on backorder (yes I do realize this isn't Verizon's fault), and the competition having a hard time keeping up too (Evo 4G and iPhone 4), why not just release it early since some are slipping out anyway?

Oh, I can dream.....

They won't let you activate a phone that shipped to you early because of their mistake? I'd be furious...

 

[BuTbKa]

They let people activate Incredibles, which were sent out early by mistake about two weeks before launch.

I sent a text to myself from the one I played with in store today

Something I don't understand is how Verizon can just miss these accidentally, like they did with the Incredible. If I was Verizon, I would have a major lockdown on anything X in terms of sales and shipment.

but that would just make things too dull, think about it... we wouldn't have all these little forums telling us info we shouldn't know.

I meant to customers, not to reviewers and tech people.
