How long do you think for shipment?

[WTF]

Well, welcome! Congrats on your Droid X! If you go back to main page androidforums.com you can check out the android forum lounge and other spots to talk about the basics of android. Or just pow around here in the sub forums and read and learn. Also feel free to ask questions as needed, the more experienced members of the forum are more than willing to answer many questions. And I'm Gummi! Nice to meet you!

Thanks Gummi - nice to meet you too! I'll be looking through the posts and threads here to educate myself as much as I can before the blessed event on 9/21 or sooner...

Have had enough of my slow Eris. Ordered DX online the afternoon of 9/8, for full price. Confirmation email said delivery by 9/21. Called CS today on another matter and asked about my order. I was advised that many phones will be shipped on 9/16, so I will probably have it 9/17 (chose freeovnt) BTW I'm in NYC.

ok, I finally got a track update.. Now it's at NEWARK, NJ

Lol nice. It's a day or two behind mine but will probably show up at the same time. First thing I'm loading is LPP

 

[DontEatPoop]

well it says im going to receive it the 14th..

 

[WTF]

Just looked on the Verizon status page for my order from Wednesday:

"Due to overwhelming inventory demands, your DROID X by Motorola order will ship on 09/21/2010"

Bummer - was hoping it might say something about a sooner shipment.


On a side note - I just dropped my girlfriend off at a photoshoot she's doing...there was a Verizon store very nearby so I stopped in to take a look at the DX. Gotta say I was impressed (this was my first look at the actual unit itself). One thing I noticed was that it didn't seem THAT big to me. Actually just perfect size for my big mitts. Screen was very impressive (!) since I am changing from a Treo 755p to the DX. I only played around with it for a few minutes since several others were there to look at it as well, but it is a very cool device!

I got that same status update and then I received my shipping notification email a few hours later. Had it the next day.

 

[WTF]

Just checked the Verizon ordering page for grins...the shipping date for new orders of the DX is now 9/22

Anyone on the fence about getting a new X via Verizon should make up their mind ASAP before the date slips even further.

Just sayin...

 

[DontEatPoop]

Actually, Shipping dates are getting shorter..

When I bought my phone I had to wait 14 days.. now people only wait 10 days..

Ya most people aren't having to wait that long. Hey anyone know the exact definition of what android sdk is and where to find it?

 

[DontEatPoop]

Android SDK is if you want to built android Apps..

So lets say I wanted to load the R2 D2 boot animation to my phone, as a newbie, would you recommend it if I had instructions on how to do it from SDK? And what's the worse that could happen?

Well, I don't know how to do any of that stuff.. But my guess is that if gone wrong.. You could possible blow up the entire universe.

 

[Gummibands]

Lol is it like the death star when it's hit by the ray? it'll implode....lol I would prefer to do it with step by step instructions.

 

[baberz]

Mine should be here tomorrow!
Needless to say I'll be leaving work early to get home and wait on Fedex to get there!

Who else is getting theirs tomorrow?

 

[tom108]

ordered mine on Saturday (yesterday) and got a tracking number today with scheduled delivery for Tuesday. the site said shipping by the 21st but i guess i was lucky to be included in a early batch.

 

[baberz]

Tom maybe it has something to do with us living in the south? lol prolly not, but who knows! I bet your droid is in the warehouse in ATL getting ready to go out for monday and be there tuesday!

not sure about where you live but if you leave a signed note on the door addressed to fedex they will leave it as a signature overide in most cases. but only do this if you feel safe having it left there.

That sucks, I'm leaving work early so I can get my phone all hooked up. I'm so excited, I've been using a blackberry 8330, I was in need of using my upgrade. lol.

Haha, ya you were due for an upgrade. I'm using an LG Envy 3. I can't wait to get the phone. I'm waiting to see if I'll need an extended battery. This is my first android device.

Well I upgrade when the first moto droid came out and the battery sucked so i took it back. I've heard that the battery is sooo much better on the droid x. i cant wait to get it tomorrow! it's like christmas early. lol

Ordered on 9/10 (Late Night)
Shipment Notification this morning 9/12
Should arrive on 9/14.

This was after a month of being on a local Verizon store with no deposit, and three weeks of being on a list of a different store with a deposit. Can't wait to finally have it, wish i would have just ordered it online in the first place.
