Droid X sold out online and scarce at retail

Verizon told CNET the company had "done everything possible" to ensure adequate supply of the Droid X, but there's apparently no anticipating the demand for a top-tier smartphone -- like the Droid Incredible before it, the giant 1GHz Motorola handset is already out of stock, both online (today's orders suffer a ten-day delay) and in many brick and mortar stores. Verizon confirmed the shortages in a communique to Android Central, saying the company was pleased with initial sales, and that though they were "successful at keeping up with early demand" supplies are presently "low or out." Tomorrow's just not going to work out, our anti-gravitational friend -- can we take a July 27th raincheck?

Droid doesnt recall

@deedeedee the only reason the i*hone sold out the way it did is because it had years of anticipation you idiot. Also droid phones come out about a new one every 4 months which is awesome if you ask me. People were anticipating the iphone 4 to be a great phone. Preorders were in a month in advance that is why the sales numbers were so high. But guess what, the i*hone 4 is pure garbage and many people regret buying it. Im on my droid x as we speak and lord oh lord how i thank the heavens for this phone.

I'm not reading through all the comments to find out if someone said something already, but notice the price? If you do the math it would be $169.99 not $199.99.

$569.99 - 299.99 - 100.00 = $169.99.

Motorola halted production of the Droid X. No money to continue manufacture. Motorola is the new Palm.

Motorola is bankrupt. No more Droids Xes are forthcoming. Their top executives ran off with all the Droid production money.
