Why BEST BUY stop preordered is the preordered reaching 2 millions phones already or problems on Droid X phone. I don't know why they stop accepting preordered, preordered is good sign for the company, manufacture and customers committed 2 years contract.

because they don't want to run into the same issue that best buy had with the iphone. When someone pre-orders their phone and then to find out that they have to wait for the phone to come out then people become pissed and whine like bitches. I guaranteed you that this phone wasn't mass produced on a large scale either, companies are not going to take the risk of buying 40 million devices for them to sit on the shelves. Remember we are still hurting (economy wise) and it would hurt the company to make gambles like that.

we are still hurting economy wise.. hey, how many jesusphone4's were sold in 3 days? like 2 million. yea, our "great depression" isnt 1/10th as bad as the real one. Peeps still "gotta have" things, phones included. Unless this phone has somekind of tech glitch, id say its gonna be a huge seller on VZW. Im pretty sure motorola has been stockpiling these phones since their android phone lineup has been selling really well over all, and none of their other phones do. This is the same company that used to churn out razors like they were nothing. They have alot of factory power to play with.

Just because people are spending money, doesn't mean they are using cash. My guess is that with unemployment still sitting pretty solid right near 10%, and this week being the third week in a row jobless claims have gone up, most of that money is coming from credit card use. Just because people can "buy" stuff now, doesn't mean they can actually PAY for it later.

Don't worry, Obama is going to buy us all new cell phones as long as we're unemployed... He'll probably pay your cell phone bill too.

remixfa if we the people do not start and think before we spend there may be another great depression.

YouLostTheGame i agree with you people buy to many things with their credit,and the more they use credit the bigger their own debt becomes.

I hear Verizon will have a ton of these at the stores, so the pre-orders will not happen. basically they dont want to see the same thing that happened with the incredible

I spoke with a vzw rep on the phone the other day, I asked if there will be preorders online. The rep told me that VZW doesn't want another incredible situation on their hands so they will be sending out a bunch of units each locations. Also they will not be accepting any preorders.

Can you elaborate on "incredible" situation? They're going to make everybody stand in line for 77 hours to buy one instead of letting them have it shipped to their house on day of release?

Verizon is taking it slower so their cell services do not shut down,like At&ts does.
