If you have been ticking the days off the calendar waiting for tomorrow so you could get the Motorola Droid R2-D2 (who would have guessed this day might come before you could land a real girlfriend), anticipating the launch party and hoping it in some way might rekindle the magic of those midnight lines for the new trilogy (or in some cases the old trilogy) you will want to peak at the list below. The following sites are sure to be some of the most geeked out places on the planet come tonight at midnight and tomorrow morning at 8AM.

Did you seriously put Houston, TX in the west coast? Dumbass….
LMFAO at Houston in the west coast.
Kevin its called the South Coast please correct this.
I wish this were a Droid X and not a Droid 2.
And btw, when you just split the country between East and west, Huston is more west than east, so it is in the right place.
Well…I suppose if Chicago is now part of the East Coast then Houston can be on the West Coast.
Houston.. Computers on hand for midnight orders? Then why do I need to be at the store? There are 4 million people in the metro area and 2 droids to be given away.
Wow @ the people hating because TX was listed with West Coast. He may have just been separating East from West but point is, who cares.
Thanks for the information Kevin
mt laurel store had no idea they were having a party tonight lol
This list should be split into East U.S. and West U.S.
Problem solved your welcome
jdog, youre a dumbass. theres no such thing as a ‘south coast’. sure, theres a coast down there at the gulf of mexico, but its only the gulf of mexico, no the actual ocean. i’ll say it again, jdog, youre a fucking dumbass.
From all Verizon phones I wouldn’t choose R2-D2…
Just got back from the Portland Or. store. Didnt see any stormtroopers, or customers for that matter. A few balloons out front, that was it.
FYI, wanted to see if anything was going on today, and there was no sign of any R2-D2 Droid, or any activities, guess it was all last night.
Was at Corte Madera CA store for the R2D2 phone and there was 4 Stormtroopers, 1 Biker Scout and Darth Vader. It was sure nice to see them there it made getting my phone much more fun. Thanks Verizon of Corte Madera
