The new line of Droid smartphones went on sale and it looks like Droid fans have come to the plate and bought all the available stock online directly from Verizon Wireless. We found some online retailers with discounts and Droids in stock.
Verizon online sales show that the Droid mini will ship by August 29, the Droid MAXX will ship by August 27, and the Droid Ultra will ship by August 27, the shortest wait is a week.
We're wondering if the free six months of Google All Access music subscription with unlimited access to millions of songs from any device, helped the presales or maybe a month notice of the release date, in advance.
