Glad I read this thread. My battery went from 100% to 40% in just a few hours of light to moderate web/email use and no phone calls. Searched the forum for battery issues, came upon this thread and then turned the X off and then back on. The level jumped from 40% to 80%. Thanks for the tip.

The Verizon CSR called me back to verify some details, so I asked her when the pre-orders get entered and who does the order entry. She told me that she has to give all the orders to another dept before she goes home today. Then the other dept does the order entry on Thursday morning. She...

Because I hate waiting in lines. Because I have to be at work early and all day. Because who knows if the store will still have any after work? Because I'd rather go for a sure thing Friday delivery instead of a maybe Thursday availability. Because ordering on line or on the phone is painless...

Just placed order ! I called the normal sales number 1-800-256-4646 and they accepted a "pre-order" for the X. Rep said they are accepting pre-orders today, placing the actual order tomorrow and shipping tomorrow (Thursday) via Fed-Ex overnight and it would be received on Friday by 3PM. They...

Verizon says there will be plenty of Droid X's available Verizon says they can meet demand for Droid X. See link. I'm still going to order at Midnight anyway! Verizon: Calm Down, Plenty of Droid X Inventory to Go Around | Android Phone Fans

Finally got a CSR today who was willing to pull in my NE2 date from 8/2/10 to 7/13/10. This was my 4th attempt after being told 3 other times they could not do it. I waited a couple of minutes for supervisor approval and then it was done. I think you just need to keep calling until you get...

I visited a second local VZW store and got almost the same story as the first one, with one significant difference. Neither store is taking names on any list and neither store could/would tell me how many they have in stock. The second store told me to get there early because they will...

Droid X is the hottest phone of the year because it took on the iPhone with a full page ad in major newspapers. And the best advertising line line of the year..."hold the phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere to make crystal clear calls". Priceless!

My VSW store did not know anything about any list. They just said they will open 1 hour early on 7/15 and it's first come first served. I will probably just call in my order early AM and wait for the next-day delivery.

The Storm 1 was my first smartphone. Loved it until memory leaks and slow re-boots got annoying. Then dropped it and broke the screen a couple of weeks ago. (Not on purpose!) I'm living with a used BB Pearl (ugh!) until the X comes out.

Actually, it's not as anal as you think. Manufacturers typically make dummy models during the design phase to test the feel and weight in the hand. Then they trim a bit here and round a bit there until it feels right.
