Best Buy announced that it would start allowing customers to pre-order the Motorola DROID. The phone will then be available in stores beginning November 6. Pre-ordering the phone will allow customers to not worry about the phone selling out. Another advantage to purchasing the phone at Best Buy is that they get rid of the mail-in rebate for you, charging you only $199.99 at the point of sale. When buying at the Verizon store, customers will pay $299.99 and get a $100 mail-in rebate.
