Early upgrade still available for Droid X?

[ATLgator99]

My contract ends in Nov. 2010, so my New Every 2 is up July 25th.  After debating between the Dinc and the X for a long time, and then finally playing with the X, I really want one!  I am seeing the shipping date getting pushed back every hour (from July 23 to now July 27) and I am afraid that waiting until my upgrade date will push it even further back.  

My only question now is.... since the stores are all sold out and I can't upgrade it ONLINE before July 25th (it won't register the early upgrade), is that early upgrade even possible now?? Or do I have to wait?

Hi..  If your contract ends this year, you are still eligible for your early upgrade.   You can click here to read an article where it does highlight that information

The Droid X is in high demand so the shipping will be delayed.  When you place the order, we will give you an order number and also email you when the phone is shipped.   The date shown when you placed the order is the original estimate so it is subject to change based on availability.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Okay good... but my real question is, can I do the early upgrade online? Will it still allow me to do it without penalty since on my account, my upgrade date isn't until July 25th?  Or do I have to go in-store for that?

I'd like to know the answer to this as well since I had my NE2 due on July 21st, but they would not give it to me early in the store either.  I had to use our broadband card NE2 to get $50 off and now I'm waiting until Thursday to get my husband the phone (or at least order one) with my $100 off.

The 3G Smartphone Early Upgrade promo is something that is available exclusively in-store..  You do get an instant rebate on it though, instead of the normal mail-in one

Yes, it is possible to upgrade early for the Droid X, I should know, because I did it at midnight.

No, you cannot do it online. You must either call in to CSR, or go to the store. However, almost every store is out of stock, so you will have to call. You get the instant rebate when you call, and you MIGHT get free overnight, it depends on the rep you get. But, the phone itself will ship by the 27th.

Yeah, I ended up going into the store yesterday to ask them, and found out that you don't get the NE2 $50 discount when you ... so I'm going to wait until the 26th afterall to save $$$.
