Just saw this......hurray!!! Starts today!

Motorola's Droid X up for pre-order today at Best Buy: $200, no pesky mail-in rebates -- Engadget

AWESOME! can you find it on the site or will you have to go in-store? I will do whatever i have to, to pre order this phone, specially from best buy.

I looked on their website but didn't see anything. I will keep checking but ultimately if I don't find it I will go to the store after work today

I am chatting with one of the mobile support women online right now, She said there was no information on the Droid x preorder, i then mentioned the press release, and she has been "checking on it" for like 10 minutes lol

[PorcPuffer]

OK she confirmed it, pre-ordering today "IN STORES"

I posted this in another forum as well....


I don't understand.

So if I am a current Verizon customer- my discounted phone upgrade date is in September and my current contract ends on Jan 4th, 2011-
how would this Best Buy pre-order work for me?

I am already unsure how the phone price would go for me at VZW since no one seems to know for sure whether they are going to give just people with contracts ending in 2010 the $199 price or if that includes people who just have an upgrade in 2010.

So how will it go at Best Buy?? What will I end up paying for the phone if I pre-order for $50 today (if that's right) and have the VZW upgrade and contract-end dates I mentioned above??

From what i understand, you will only be putting 50 dollars towards a gift card that will be used for the phone when it releases. No contract changes today, all the changes will be on july 15

Yeah but comparing the Verizon deals where they either give you the discounted price for contract end date or upgrade date (whichever they really mean, or both), how will it work at Best Buy?

If my situation is as described above with my dates coming up, and I pay $50 to pre-order at BB today, what will I be paying at Best Buy on the phone's release date?

Im going through the same thing. My annual upgrade is 09/10 while my NE2 upgrade is 06/11 but my contract ends in 11/11. And the mobile BB site says my contract isnt eligble for upgrade till 06/11 =(

Someone posted BB doesnt go by your annual upgrade so I might be out of luck. I hope that isn't true though as I really want to go afterwork tonight to put down my pre-order
