Motorola Droid X sells out on first day According to Verizon, the wireless carrier has sold out of their first batch of Motorola Droid X smartphones, with would-be buyers needing to wait for at least a week for the next shipment.
The site says anyone who orders now will not receive their phone until the 25th.

Additionally, brick-and-mortar sites seem to be in low stock, as well, with most retail stores called saying they are out of stock.

Most stores were given 50 of the device, which sold out before noon on launch day.
