I remember signing up for something very similiar to this on the Droid X.. like a month before it came out.
Got the email on June 17th (right after signing up to their almost identical portal):

YOUR NEEDS WILL

YOU SIGNED UP FOR THIS EMAIL
BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO
CONNECT TO DROID.
A NEW DROID IS COMING. AND
YOU WILL NEVER SEE A PHONE
THE SAME WAY AGAIN.
(also some images with text that didnt copy/paste)
_______________________________________________
the Phone wasnt released Until Jul 15th.. Approx 1 month later.
whats my point of this? my point is its kinda wierd that some of you assume this is proof positive that the phone is a week and a half away from being on the shelves.
