I'm really exited to get the new Droid X, so exited that I really want to get it at midnight as I'm eligible for the upgrade and the price of $99.99. However, I'm wondering if anyone knows when it will go live online. I've read on a number of posts that at midnight EST or 7:00am. Does anyone know? Will it be available at midnight EST or PST or 7am EST, or PST. Any clarifying answers would be appreciated!
Here is a conversation I had with a CSM via live chat on verizon's website about an hour ago:
Please wait for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience!
A Verizon Wireless online pre-sales specialist has joined the chat. You are now chatting with Kinberly
Kinberly: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
You: Yes please
Kinberly: How may I help you today?
You: I am ready to upgrade the phones on my account and want to purchase the new Droid X. Will that be available online or will I have to go to my local retailer?
Kinberly: I will be more than happy to help you with the Droid X. It will be available the 15th.
You: And as far as my question concerns?
Kinberly: You will be able to order it online by 12:01 a.m.
You: PST, central or EST?
Kinberly: EST.
You: Great, thank you so much for your help.
Kinberly: Did you order a case for your device as well? If not, then I recommend going with one, because it will keep the body of the device protected at all times.
You: Yes, I am planning on ordering a case for the phones.
Kinberly: Great!
Kinberly: Is there any order phones you wish to upgrade at this time?
You: I will be upgrading both of the phones on my account to the Droid X when it comes available tomorrow.
Kinberly: Yes.
Kinberly: I am glad to be able to help you with your concerns at this time. Is there anything else I may assist you with today?
You: That was all that I needed for now. Thnank you
Kinberly: Thank you for visiting Verizon Wireless, I look forward to speaking with you again. Have a great day!

This is good for people on the west coast as this will be 9PM PST while I will need to either stay up late tonight and hope that the phone is available at 12:01am EST or wait until the morning. I get up for work at 5AM and the thought of waiting up until midnight for a possible release does not make me feel too good. Guess if I wake up in the middle of the night I can order one...I really hope they are not sold out before the early am...will need to find a Verizon store then.
I am happy that I am on the westcoast. Come on 9pm...
