The much anticipated DroidX will be hitting Verizon stores this Thursday, July 15th. Many East Coast stores open early at 8AM, and some reports seem to indicate limited supply. Are you planning on getting your DroidX this Thursday, or are you playing it safe and rather wait a few weeks to see what others think about this latest Droid?

Over the last couple of weeks there were a number of hints that Verizon is working on an extensive marketing campaign for the DroidX release similar to the launch of the original Droid.

Of course there was the cool first DroidX TV commercial, followed by a DroidX YouTube video and now a Twitter based DroidX Scavenger Hunt is beginning today.

During the Promotion Period, there will be a Scavenger Hunt, where 21 Certificates for a free Droid Phone will be hidden across the country. Clues as to where the 21 Droid Certificates (“Certificates”) will be hidden will be tweeted on a regular basis from @DroidLanding. To view the tweets, visit http://www.twitter.com/droidlanding. Dates and times of Certificate placement will vary, but the final clue of each GPS location for each Certificate will be tweeted at the time it is hidden.

In case the specs of the upcoming Motorola DroidX haven’t convinced you yet… Verizon just launched this YouTube video, telling you: “This phone is awesome.”

Motorola and Verizon are going to unveil their latest Droid’s at this invitation only press event, which starts at 1PM EDT.  MobileCrunch is live-blogging.

Verizon made the Motorola Droidx official by launching this teaser site yesterday. This sure is going to be an amazing phone given its gigantic 4.3″ screen, 720p video capture and 8MP camera. I wonder how long the battery will last though…

Update: Here’s the first Droidx commercial from the VerizonWireless YouTube channel.

In case you have not noticed, Verizon is taking pre-orders for the Droid Incredible online since yesterday. To get you further hyped-up, Verizon also published this product video featuring “incredibly” enthused Products Specialist – Derek.
