July 15th...I dont wanna wait three weeks dangit.

 

OK my son wants new phone here have a used but loved droid.

So now the question is...since I am the primary on my family plan I can get a yearly upgrade, right? Sooo since I got my droid nov6th..i should be able to get this at a discount?

 

So hoping Erron that my situation. Plus long time customer and if t hey don't i alwasy tell them I leaving and they do it just deal with corp not local store..good luck.

 

From phonedog blog and verizonwireless tweets:

Droid X will ship with Android 2.1 and have a "dramatically different" MotoBlur experience, but with all of the capabilities of the current Blur

Battery life on Droid X will be comparable to battery life on Droid 1

Battery life ...even with much better display... should be on par with original Droid.

1930 mAh battery back will be available in a few months - will add 1mm of thickness to the Droid X
<---( I called it for slim extended batteries if this is the case)

Phone will be available at non-Verizon retail outlets at launch

Verizon is offering early upgrades: If a Verizon customer has an upgrade coming at any time in 2010, they can upgrade immediately to Droid X at the $199 a/r price

<-----stumbles, trips over self to check his upgrade date...

 

Calling now..standby.

OK, lady told me yes, this is true. It will be a $20 early upgrade fee. Looks like I will be getting one from best buy, who you know will bypass that whole silly $100 rebate.

 

from phonedog:

Jha: Droid X will be upgraded to Froyo in late Summer. Rubin: Froyo is open source TODAY.
