Well, it looks like we don't have to wait till June 23 to learn the identity of Verizon's next Droid phone, as the carrier has published a teaser site for the Droid X.

Well, this certainly takes some of the mystery out of the June 23 event, but now we know that Verizon's next Droid model will be the Droid X. The carrier posted a teaser site for the handset on Thursday morning with some little nuggets of information. When you rollover the center image on Verizon's site, you'll see that the Droid X will have HDMI output, a 4.3-inch display, and a "720P screen." A 720p resolution screen? As CNET reader Adam T. rightfully asks, "Do you think it's a typo?" Though we are inclined to believe it's either that or a marketing bungle (perhaps Verizon meant 720p output over HDMI), if true, that would be phenomenal.

Update: It looks like Verizon caught wind of its error, as it has now clarified what was meant by "720P screen." When you roll over the Droid X image on its site now, the text reads, "Captures 720p," referring to the phone's video-recording capabilities.
