The Droid X Spec Sheet Proves Too Good To Be True.

For a moment it seemed like Motorola's new Droid X was going to bring Sprint's new found EVO 4G-based party to an early close. Verizon teased the similar device on its site this morning with a nice little caption advertising a 720P Screen. That's a resolution of 1280x720 and would have come pretty close to leap-frogging Apple's Retina Display.
Alas, it was not to be, as it was a misprint.. Evidently the phone is capable of capturing 720P video and the resolution is the same as the current Droid model at 854x480, though the larger screen means the pixel density will have dropped somewhat.
Don't take this to mean that the new Droid X is a slouch in any way. From early impressions, it appears to basically be a Verizon variant of the popular HTC EVO which is only available on Sprint.
Personally I'm not a fan of the enormous mobile phone. I like a smaller device (Nexus One, Droid, iPhone) that is a bit easier to actually use in your hand. But that's just me - There's no doubt in my mind that this thing will sell like hotcakes - if for no other reason that it's on Verizon.
