Those dates ("shipped BY...") are for orders placed right now. It doesn't mean your order from a couple days ago will have to wait till then (although if something goes wrong, ala the screen issue, then they also have a CYA for their reps when dealing with impatient carriers). Come August the ship date will certainly be later than 8/4, but that won't mean that the people who order tomorrow will have to wait till then either...
I just looked on Verizon's website and it says it will be shipped by 8/3. Not sure if it depends on what zip code you enter.
I called CS a few minutes ago. And this great CS rep explained it to me....those who ordered between July 16-26 will get their DX shipped by the 08/03...BUT the rep told me that they are getting shipped much earlier....Those who ordered from July 16th thru the 20th are definitely getting shipped this monday and those that ordered from the 21st thru the 26th are getting shipped the following day. So everyone who ordered between those dates, besides the 26th, will have their phones this coming week!
I was just told the same thing by verizon about an hour ago
Hey Pelliott93...I see you are in AZ also....did you order yours online or at a corporate store?

man I hope so. Ordered mine on the 20th at my local verizon store.
yeea, I am about as far east as you can go in the US (hello from Maryland!)
I ordered mine online...sort of. I was on the phone with a manager while I did it. thats when i was told they were shipping way earlier and to expect to see it around Tuesday - Wednesday since I live in AZ and they are coming from Cali
hehehe...but hey, at least the DX we get (hopefully) will have no screen problem or any other problem that were experienced by those who got their DX's during launch...
thats why I am not stressed out about it. And I knew I was going to have to wait a bit, but again its worth it.
I ordered my Droid X online last Thursday the 22nd (at 9:46pm). At that time the website said the earliest ship date would be 8/3. I even called into Verizon and hoped they would give me different information but alas..... no.. backordered earliest ship date..... 8/3, So annoyed and anxious I had no choice but to wait, but it was what it was. But then tonight (the 25th) at 9:40 i received an email that said my Droid X had been shipped and would be here Tuesday 27th. I confirmed the information with Fedex. So I am not sure what is going on.. but I am not about to look a gift Droid X in the mouth. .
I believe they are shipping as fast as they are getting orders but they don't want to make any promises. I hope others are having a lucky break as well tonight....
