I wonder what Verizon thinks about this. I'd like to think they're probably not too happy about it, considering the fact that I read employees were threatened with termination as a consequence for showing a customer the Droid before it's officially released. They've been told to pretend like they don't have it, and play dumb.

Loving my Motorola Droid!
Yeah I called and went to one. Said NO way there would be a ?fine? not sure whether or not to believe that, but he did say he'd sell it for 99 w/o NE2.
That report was crap, I can't believe engadget put that out there! My BB actually called me to schedule a pickup time tomorrow. They're doing it with all the pre-orders. Makes sense to avoid a logjam.
My brother just called our local wal-mart (i'm out on the road traveling) and Wal-Mart said they'd sell him one right now.
My walmart told me the same thing, It took me about 25 minutes to get there and the first thing the lady says is "Sir I'm so sorry, I wish I would have had your phone number to tell you we can't" When I was on the phone with her to see if they could sell it, she even double checked. Not sure what happened during my 25 minute drive there, but the window closed for me. They did have it on display though, the dummy phone that is. They had no accessories and said they had not received them yet either, figured I'd atleast see if my drive was worth something.
I almost got it at Walmart. The CSR had it in hand and was about to start the process before the manager walked by and stopped it from happening. Idiot.
He said I could reserve it for pick up tomorrow, but their cell phone department didn't open until 9am. Meh.
Am I excited for Droid?
Luckily I had a busy day so it went kind of fast. Gotta get up early and walk the dog and head out. If there's a line I'm cutting it. I got a scheduled appointment. Hope I don't get my ass kicked.![]()
Once every sort of mental process has ceased, not a particle of karma is formed.
I got mine from walmart 3 hours ago. They only got two, and sold one, then the other to me
Have to love the dumb employees... Probably didn't realize she could be in big trouble.
