Moto X already sold out!?

I Got Mine

I called yesterday afternoon and made an appointment for when my Verizon store opened at 8AM, something that I didn't know I could do. For some reason, I left early this morning and arrived at 7AM. The store was already open.

I asked for Richard and he said he had my phone waiting for me. A lot of people came in after I did and they had to order theirs and have it delivered tomorrow. But I Got Mine along with a leather case with kickstand, purple silicone case and screen protectors (they were 25% off because I got 3).

I asked him how many phones they got and was horrified to hear 20!!! I was sure they would have tons, particularily in a city the size of Houston!

Right now I am downloading like crazy from the app store. I had some trouble getting online and accessing the store because the guy forgot to turn off my iPhone when activating my Droid and it "didn't take". I thought sure my new phone was a lemon. Working just fine now. And so far I am impressed and love it. My iPhone will be listed on Ebay on Sunday when I am off again.

My question is how fast will the reserves in the warehouse dry up and they post on the website "Available by 8/?"

Haven't got mine yet but at my store they were running a deal if you bought one of the combo packs they would hold your X until you picked it up.

I had 2 pre-ordered at a LARGE local best buy. Yesterday I get the call, they only have one of my two, I was last on the list, etc.

No problem, we work around getting a second one today, all is well. I go to BB today and that part of the transaction was great and painless. I ask how many they got.

Seven. That's it.

My wife walked into the Verizon kiosk at a local PC Richard figuring nobody would be there and walked right up and bought one.

Salt Lake says they are out

So a rep at a Salt Lake Verizon store says they are out but I've learned that sometimes they are not being completely honest. The Verizon reps get paid more on a new activation than on an upgrade so apparently sometimes (I stress sometimes) they have a few hidden for that "New" customer when they tell the guy who is trying to upgrade that they are all sold out and he should check online.

If this is true once again Verizon dropped the ball. How does this happen???? How do you continuously screw up launches?

Don't know how many they had at the VZ store I went to in Ontario, CA, but they were out before 10 am (I got the second to last one).

Something tells me there isn't alot of truth to this.

Local store in LA sold out by 10am. Fortunately I reserved one. Can't get on 3G, though...

Power it off and power it back on again. That worked for me.

Here's some more info to back up the claims...

I finalized an order at NOON with Telesales. I asked how inventory was looking and was told 20,000. After some minor issues my order was processed at 2:30pm CST. At 3:05pm CST received a call from the rep informing me that it was highly possible my phone would not ship until July 23 due to stock running out at the facility in Memphis. He stated if I received a tracking order number before the day was out then I can expect it tomorrow, if not then a week from Monday! I guess this means one more week with the iPhone.
