The Droid X was released today and is already selling out at "most stores," according to Boy Genius. A tweet from the official Verizon Wireless account confirms that activation delays are currently plaguing not just Droid X buyers; those buying other phones on the network are similarly stymied, as well.
In fact, so far this year, several of the new Android "superphones" are selling faster than they can be built.
It will certainly be an annoyance to new Droid X buyers to play the waiting game, whether they're waiting for an hour or more at the activation stage or they have to wait much longer longer in cases where inventory is scarce. Nevertheless, it's great news for both Verizon and Motorola, who are both likely celebrating another successful launch in the Droid lineup. It's good news for Google as well, as another white-hot smartphone running the Android operating system lights up sales figures and tech media alike.
