Surprise, surprise! The Motorola DROID X you ordered is at your door

As Jim Nabors would have put it, "Surprise, surprise". More than a week earlier than the expected launch date, some lucky people have already received the Motorola DROID X that they have pre-ordered. While Big Red has not officially started taking pre-orders on the phone, one gentleman from El Paso, Texas was able to sweet-talk a Verizon rep into taking his order for the DROID X. This has apparently happened multiple times because a Verizon call center in Huntsville, Alabama admitted that a few DROID X owners had called to activate the sexy new flagship of the Verizon fleet. One theory making the rounds was that the early units were sent to satisfy the scavenger hunt contest that the carrier had been running. One report had a DROID X "landing" somewhere in Texas and that turned out to be in Houston. As we reported, Best Buy has resumed taking pre-orders for the DROID X and has said that it will launch on the same day that Verizon does, although reserving a unit with the big box retailer does not guarantee a phone on launch day; it only means that orders will be fulfilled on a first come-first served basis. The launch date is expected to be July 15th as we previously told you with the phone going for a price of $199 after a $100 mail-in-rebate and a signed two-year contract.

Again, I ask the question...why can't we have a story about an Android phone without the mention of Apple or the iPhone? What I think is funny is that it's never the Apple Fanboys that bring up Apple in an Android conversation...it's those who especially hap Apple that bring it up. I'd think of all folks, Team Android would want to hear as little about the iPhone as possible... ...but I guess there must be some love of the iPhone to mention it so much...

som probably wears those emo girly tight pants who can't even fit anything in his pocket so that he has to carry a man purse around

I'm more suprised by the fact that hundreds of Android/iPhone articles later, people are still putting forth the effort to show their disappointment in fanboys. Ignore them, and maybe they'll go away.

Love this phone! Its beautiful, thin and light! Battery is amazing! left it on for 24 hours, came back to it and it still had the same amount of charge to it.

Did you actually use it? A lot of phones have great standby times...but the real time you want to test is with actual usage...

16. iheartblueberry posted on 07 Jul 2010, 11:02 0 0

I used it for a few hours. Then put it back in the box. Came back to it the next day and played for a couple more hours. Battery life was amazing. I'm charging my Incredible twice a day now with very little use.

Yes, the battery life is AMAZING, especially considering its Android and the huge screen. I have had a demo unit since the 2nd and the battery life is suprisingly good. Probably over double the battery life of the HTC Incredible.

Wow, i am surprised and happy to hear about the battery life being awesome. Usually the TFT LCD (droid x uses) eats more power than the amoled screen (incredible), but I guess moto did a good job on this one!

WOW! did it come with a purse because you know it don't fit in your pocket! c'mon people!!! lol...just get an iPad and say hello to the good life!!!!!! or iPhone 4 and say hello the future! Motorola is so behind in technology! and the Android OS.

7. jogutier posted on 07 Jul 2010, 02:12 0 0

but I want my phone to make calls and not disconnect. O, and be able to get fast internet without the carrier telling me to jump on someone's wifi. That's sad. I would feel pretty stupid leaving comments on phone that works where ever, when I (lxmndza) was fooled about having an advance device when every other phone already shares those same features. LMAO !!!!!!! Yes, come on lxmndza, don't be a dummy like your phone.

I was surprised my friend put his iPhone 4 aside when he actually wants to make a phone call. He took out his iPhone 3GS instead saying iPhone 4's reception is horrible comparing to the 3GS, which is not much better... He says iPhone 4 is pretty much a quick pocket camera for him now......

I don't see what everyone is talking about saying the phone is huge, if your not emo and wear something other than skinny jeans this phone will fit in your pocket just fine. And girls will obviously keep it in a purse so size is not an issue. So stop using the size as an excuse for it being not as good as other phones (mainly the iphone appearently). Honestly most people think bigger is better.
