Ok, this thread is simply. Tell us your Droid X success story. How'd you get your phone, did you wait online for hours? find the last one? have it reserved and picked it up right at opening? drive to 5 different stores before you found one?

This is more for launch day, but thought I'd post it early.

Please don't post saying "On list at store for tomorrow" or "preordered at Best Buy, picking up tomorrow" This is for when you get your hands on the phone!

Have fun, and share your good (and bad) experiences with the next generation of Does (I hate that tagline, btw :p )
 
Yeaaa!! Its mine!!!

So my first post here. I pre-ordered my droidx last week on thursday at my local verizon store. they called me and i just picked it up today (about 2 hours ago) that is one day early. and this is my success story!:D

Sounds like a success story to me!

Really? I find that semi-hard to believe...but congratulations! If I only I could film the unboxing of my X tomorrow using it's 720p camera...:p

You could use some sort of mirror, but that would be weird, lol.
 
So to add another success story, here goes a pretty long one. So Right after the announcement of the X, I went into my local store and talked to the rep. He wasn't doing any preorders. So after hearing alot of people here saying stores had lists going, I went on Monday to the same store and they had started a list and I put my name and number on it. I was like 5 down. They said they'd call when the units came in.

All day went by Wednesday and no call, so I went into the store after work. I ended up waiting like 30 min for these idiots before me to activate an original Droid they were buying (the no gmail type kids) and finally sat down atr the reps desk.

I explained that I was on the list and hadn't been called. He told me they weren't using the list anymore because stores were getting shorted and he only had gotten four phones. Four!!! He told me I had to take my chances tomorrow....or... and he looked me dead in the face and said "It's yours right now for $50 extra. Sold.

And after a long day of waiting for a call, I walk out with a Droid X a full day early. Beautiful phone. So happy I waited on it!
 
DROID X in hand! just got home from the store...they opened at 6...said they had 20 phones in and now they were down too 5...the girl when i walked in for my appointment said "sorry sir we're sold out...but it should only take a couple weeks to get your order in..." and i was so pissed...then she started laughing hahaha
 
Also have my droid, downloading apps as I write this. Was 2nd in line, felt bad for the kid in front of me. He got there just before I did and they had presold all of the phones. They ordered his and he wouln't get it til tomorrow.
 
And this was a corporate store? I would call Verizon customer service and get credited the $50. That rep violated store policy.

Yea,I think I'm going to today, but I feel bad since the guy hooked me up early. I can just play really, really dumb though when I call (ie. "durr, I didn't know it came out today") Maybe I'll get a free case out of it.
 
SO I was first one in the door and the 5th X to go out!!! only 2 others waiting before doors opened but there was a line in the store when I left. I was returning/exchanging a DINC and it was a total fiasco that took 2 1/2 hours to get me in and out!!! I never activated my INC and when they went to exchange it they said I had an open order for a case that I ordered yesterday through their store that was holding the transaction up. But it was the DINC not being activated that would not allow the exchange to happen. At first they said no can do and I was SOL because the system wasn't allowing the swap, but luckily my buddy is the store manager and he made a phone call to get things figured out. He said that they were experiencing a lot of glitches in their system because so many people were exchanging their INC's for the X.

This thing is cats ass but that's expected coming from a BB Storm 1......

Just need to learn how to use this beast!!!
 
Just got back from getting the X from my local BB. Thank God I was 2nd on the preorder list because they only got 6 in. Now I just have to figure out how use it. Bye bye BB Storm 1!
 
I went to the Verizon store at noon. They opened at 9:00. I was the 65th Droid X buyer of the day. They started with 92 and said they will sell out this afternoon.
 
My local store - Waterloo, Iowa - an hour early anticipating maybe a line. Showed up at 9am (opens at 10) and there are already people in the store buying the X. Sales rep came up and asked how he could help, I said, "I want that (pointing to X)," and he walked me up to the counter. I counted, when I first went in, 7 people getting the X with one guy buying 5 for his business - said he was dropping BB for Android - and 5 more walked in while I was finishing up.

Anyway, not sure if everyone else had the same promo going or just our store, but for $450 I walked away with: Droid X, case of my choice, pack of screen protectors, car charger, HDMI cable, Multimedia station, car mount, extended battery, and Jawbone Icon. I was pleased...:p

Store said they got in 40 total and guessed they would be out by early afternoon with the already scheduled appointments. Was in and out in about 40 minutes...

Now I am just playing with it!!!
 
So I was initially mad at Motorola for not sending enough X'es to the BestBuy that I had a pre-order at. This morning, I had to go to court downtown so I had absolutely no way of getting to Verizon store under about 2PM. What ended up happening was my dad going to the VZW store this morning around 8 (by 0830 he said there were 20 people lined up) and buy it for me.

In the end, I LOVE MY NEW PHONE. Period.
 
I went to the vz store at 10:45, not expecting a ton of people to be there. There were about 40 people in front of me. They actually had a DJ outside. I finally get up to the counter at !:30am, exhausted and the gal asks me what I was waiting for. I told her the Droid x. She said, Sir we are currently out of stock.

At this point after being there for hours, I looked around and just randomly picked out a vz employee's name off their name tag, and said, well I spoke with Mr so and so, and he said he had one with my name on it. She said that they werent doing that and she could have one shipped to me by friday.

Mind you the guy behind me, got up to the next cust rep and just got one. I said please go speak with that employee.

She leaves for 15 minutes and comes back with phone in hand.

I ended up getting the last one in the store. Im still exhausted from the experience.
 
using my new Droid X as a wifi hotspot/netbook. Drove the 45 mins to BB, got there before 10am. No other cars in lot, they opened promptly at 10 and i strolled in and BAM! Got it. No crowds or other phone customers. They didn't have any Zaggs so i went to the VHZ store. totally different world. people waiting etc.;)
