Delayed Best Buy launch?

[JimmK]

I went to Best Buy (Cleveland/Akron area) last night to look at the mock droid x (looks and feels great) and the mobile rep said that they may not even launch the phone on july 15th. It may get pushed back a few days because they will not receive shipment in. He also said that verizon stores will be the same way in the area. I didnt believe him on the verizon stores but i could believe that best buy may not be ready by the 15th. I noticed this morning that the Best Buy ad did NOT have the Droid X in there advertisement like they did last week. I would assume they would promote it the week they are selling it....

Anyone else hear anything about this?

I hope not... im 4th on the first wave of pre-orders...

which one are you referring to? i preorderd mine at the one in youngstown a week back but havent checked whether or not theyll be ready

ill be pretty heated if they dont have them on the 15th

also, come to think of it, they might have just taken it out of the ad bc they probably wont be selling any that day - just dealing with the preorders.

[JimmK]

yeah im going to get mad if they push it back...

they should be positive by now.... they expect to sell it in four days...

I've heard from my BB and two different verizon stores that yes, the 15th may not be the actual release day. BUT they both assured me that the day verizon gets them, BB will get them too.

So it's not about BB not having them, it's about your market not having them.

Also they've said if they don't get them the 15th, it should only be a couple of days at the most before they're in.

They are already in the VZW stores in Ct. spoke with the rep today and he showed me the cases he was putting up I saw 20 boxes or so.

Spoke with the BB I pre ordered from and they said the 15th is the actual date...


IDK what's the deal with the other ones, but it seems the 15th is a real release date.

Hope so!

Glad to hear that. I was getting worried.

Wirefly to Sell DROID X by Motorola Beginning on July 15

If wirefly is going to have them I doubt that everyone else, including BB and VZW, won't.

When I went in on Saturday to buy some stuff and check on my pre-order status (#1 on the list), the rep I talked to didn't indicate any issues with the release date. He didn't know how many phones they were getting yet, but said he expected them to sell all of them the first day.
