Realy glad it all worked out for you! Enjoy your new Droid X!
The rest of the story........
So I started all this "quest" this morning by calling cust service. Got absolutely nowhere, but they were nice and polite about it. Bottom line, I would have to wait until Jan or pay full retail.
Phase 2, I call a V store nearby, and got a young lady who used words like "we can be creative". I immediately determined it would be worthwhile to talk with her face to face. (it was!)
Anyway, she found a broadband modem in my account (it's an embedded modem in a Lenovo laptop I've got) that wasn't on an agreement. She put that modem on a 2 year agreement (costs stayed the same, and I would be using it anyway), got the X for $149 (an extra promo she uncovered for "upgrading" the broadband modem), and replaced the X into my existing agreement that started with the Droid original! Then 25% off on all accessories, and I'm a happy camper!
Thanks for all the suggestions - you folk helped me keep the faith that there *WAS* a solution to this!

If there are typos to bad
Wirefly has the best upgrade deal on the Droid X ($129.99 if you use Bing Cashback), but they process the orders through Verizon and full upgrade eligibility is required. The OP said he is not upgrade eligible.wirefly.com
itll let you upgrade or extend your contract. i did this when i got the moto droid
whats the catch?

Wow, very cool! Congrats on it all working out in your favor.
Goes to show, there are some VZW associates that will go ABOVE and beyond. And others not so much.
There are, of course, fees for switching the phone numbers...but if you really, really, really want the droid x, this is a way to go.
