    Exactly, that is what big retail stores do. They stock the inventory on hot items until the demand drops; then its move to the next hot item. When the iphone 3gs was hot you could not go into the store with out bumping into iphone/ipod stuff. Verizon will still be selling it.

    Nothing against your manager, but it's not uncommon for BB managers to be slightly confused; are you 100% sure he meant the Droid and not the Droid Eris? Because there have been plenty of rumors that VZW themselves are going to EOL the Eris...

    For as many Droid phones that have sold since November, I can't believe the Motorola Droid is at the end of its life yet. Maybe at Best Buy, but doubt it's the end of the Droid as we know it, and I feel fine. (ok sorry about that last part).
    Thank you to all who have served or are serving our great country. You're always in my thoughts and prayers.

    It was listed as motorola I saw the sheet myself. I agree, no reason to panic. Could be that BB is making room for the N1 on its shelves... I would say then they should move out the enV or some other low end wanna be but those are the phones that sell en mass, so I get it. But dropping accessories has me a little concerned. But who knows, Best Buy is not Verizon, so its not saying the Droid is being dropped by Verizon by any means...

    Also it could very well be possible they're going EOL due to their 2.0.1 and maybe some 2.1 preloads in the near future... =) Stay Positive!

    The BB in my town has 2 locations in a 20 mile radius. I know one would sell more apple items and the other pc. When I went their to acquire about apple they was directing me to the other store to purchase a macbook pro. One BB store could be shifting some of its inventory to another location and use that location to stock the newer/ hotter item. With that said, if your store has an end of life sell let me know the location because it may be the perfect time to by some accessories.
