Motorola DROID Pro with portrait QWERTY and 3.1 inch screen is introduced
Motorola and Verizon have introduced the Motorola DROID Pro and it probably looks nothing like what you were expecting. Early speculation was that this handset would be a DROID 2 refitted for global use and made for the business set. With the ability to support voice calls in 220 countries and with data coverage in 200, the DROID Pro is still made for the pinstriped wearing executive who spends more time on an airplane than in an office, but the form factor is the surprise.

The candybar shaped device features a portrait oriented QWERTY keyboard underneath the model's 3.1 inch capacitive touchscreen display. Under the hood is a 1GHz processor, running the show including the 5MP camera with AF and flash. The Motorola DROID Pro will ship with Android 2.2 on board along with Adobe Flash Player 10.1. The version of blur that we have seen on the Motorola DROID 2 and DROID X will also be included.

With the Motorola DROID Pro, users will be able to view and share documents like Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Word documents and Power Point presentations. Users will be able to put up a live widget that delivers e-mail to their home screen which can be divided into personal and business messages.

While no word on pricing was revealed, the phone is expected to launch the first week of next month. Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha said, "The DROID Pro is an advanced business-ready solution that provides users with the full smartphone experience, redefined by delivering the power of a DROID."

is anyone else surprised that they got away with this? IT'S THE KB STRAIGHT OFF THE BB BOLD! Beveled keys and all!!!

I love it! This form factor (qwerty + touch screen) will destroy blackberry! Palm Pixi came close but was not really a business device. I just wish the screen went out further to the edge.

Good start so far. They got one thing right that RIM could not with the Torch, a 1Ghz processor. I bet they got the screen right too!

Man this thing looks sweet. It's the perfect phone for people who are sick of the lack of power within BlackBerry's, but want a blackBerry style phone!

18. emitted (unregistered) posted on 06 Oct 2010, 09:54

19. MattAg (unregistered) posted on 06 Oct 2010, 10:55

25. XxVerbalxX (unregistered) posted on 07 Oct 2010, 14:11

I

16. DEPECHE (unregistered) posted on 06 Oct 2010, 09:34

I really like this form factor... some one needs to perfect. Palm, Blackberry someone, Palm Pre is the closest to hitting it. I would not discount webOS, they have new upgrades to OS and device(s)

17. butters (unregistered) posted on 06 Oct 2010, 09:50

I dunno man..it's a tad fugly looking. What's up with just making a world phone that looks like the X but is smaller with no hump on the back. It's like pulling teeth I tell ya..
