Despite Verizon's insistence that they should have plenty of phones in stock to meet demand, the Droid X has officially sold out, and users will now have to wait until July 23 if they want to get their hands on the latest Android smartphone. Verizon recently struggled to get the also-Android-based HTC Incredible into user hands due to a shortage in OLED display components.

"We have been successful at keeping up with early demand but at present inventory in some parts of the country inventory is either low or out," acknowledges Verizon. "Since we have weekly shipments planned, customers can still order phones and can expect them to be shipped on or before July 23."

But what about that news that the Droid X contained embedded systems that would brick the phone if it was tinkered with? Motorola responded to those concerns today:In short, the IBM-developed eFuse system will shut down a Droid X with an unapproved bootloader though it won't actually damage the phone. Users simply need to re-install "approved software" to get the device up and running again. That's certainly not-quite the type of openness many users would like to see, but it's not Droid X Armageddon for modders, either.
