Droid X out of stock :(

Now I'm anxious to get in under the wire before VZW changes the unlimited data plans.

You know that is a total rumor right? I'm sure Verizon will eventually move to a tiered plan. They might even announce it by the end of the month (although I think that is unlikely). But it isn't going to change the day they announce it. There will be a period of time after the official annoucement and before the actual tiered rate plan goes into effect.

I'm in the same boat as you, but am willing to wait until the official annoucement from Verizon comes out before I start panicing.

That makes sense. I thought I read an article that it would go into effect 7/29.

Now it would be nice if the search function were working today. :( I keep getting a timeout. I'm curious how Walmart's LetsTalk service works in conjunction with VZW. I don't want to disturb the employer discount I'm getting on service.


It won't affect your employer discount. However, you won't be able to make any plan changes for the first 6 months or you may end up owing LetsTalk $250 in lost commission.

D'oh! Costco.com has taken it off the site entirely as they don't know when to expect inventory. I'm going to have to keep checking...

I'd suggest hitting up your local store to see what the VZW Kiosk is saying. I remember when the first LG Envy was released and I had a hell of a time finding one in stock at my local VZWs. I called up Costco, and sure enough they kept getting a supply but very few people coming in and purchasing.

I called them and they don't have anything yet. I'll just have to keep trying. I see one of the Costco benefits is free new activation. Is there a VZW activation charge for existing customers? I'm inclined to keep trying Costco because the free car charger is a nice benefit.

NewEgg has them in stock for $179.99. I ordered mine a couple days ago, it shipped yesterday with free shipping and it's going to be here tomorrow (could have been here today because the starting facility is only 4 hours ago, but the truck apparently stopped at another facility overnight).

I don't understand why people think Droid X's have fallen off the planet. Try different stores other than Verizon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc.
