Product Description

Representing a new breed of easy-to-use, intuitive smartphones designed for both work and personal use, the Motorola DROID PRO for Verizon Wireless provides business-ready solutions with enhanced features for a richer personal mobile experience. You'll get full-push corporate e-mail with corporate level security, a unified calendar with additional work features, and the DROID PRO comes pre-loaded QuickOffice Mobile Suite. And the phone is packed full of spectacular specs--a powerful 3.1-inch multi-touch display, 1 GHz processor, 4 GB of memory (2 GB internal, 2 GB included microSD card), and a physical QWERTY keyboard.



The DROID PRO offers access to your corporate directory, e-mail, calendar and more (see larger image).

In addition to high-speed connectivity on the fast and reliable Verizon Wireless 3G network, you can also share the built-in 3G Mobile Hotspot via the integrated Wireless-N Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) among five devices--laptop, another phone, MP3 player, and more (additional service charge).

Built on Android 2.2 (also referred to as "Froyo") with integrated Google technology, the DROID PRO brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services millions use every day, including Google Search by voice, Google Maps with Street View, GTalk instant messaging (with presence capabilities), YouTube, and Picasa. And through Android Market, you'll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets and fun games to download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.

In addition to the DROID PRO being the first Android-powered smartphone optimized for business use, it's also a global-ready smartphone, allowing you to enjoy wireless voice service in more than 220 countries and data coverage in more than 200 countries.

The DROID PRO offers full support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for accessing Flash-enabled websites, watching video and playing games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome phone for an OLD Blackberry convert! December 4, 2010

Reviewer:  Carol Baloglu 

I am a heavy user w/ 60% work related and 40% personal. I also travel internationally. I have been using BB Rim for 7 years, my last one was 8830 World Edition for 2 years. I was one of 1st folks to get this unit as soon as it went on pre-sale. I have been using and testing the features I need under my regular business and personal useage. This phone has every thing I need : SIM card slot + International CDMA/GSM capability + WiFi, hotspot + 3G + Camera + doc scanner/barcode reader + ability to use SIP soft phones, such as google voice, skype, gizmo5 etc to make/receive calls over WiFi or 3G w/o using cell minutes (very handy internationally) + Great Voice Recognition + Google's Satellite "Navigation" app... Seamless integration w/ gmail, google apps, goggle, facebook, LinkedIn contacts and the list goes on. In one word, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC phone. Congrats Motorola. Sorry Blackberry I am converted :)

Cons: * Battery needs to be charged nightly * if u select a 3rd party soft keyboard (vlingo softkey etc) other than the native keyboard as the selected input method, they don't seem to pop up when expected. So stick to the default android soft keyboard. * Turning off Haptic feedback in settings, does not make any difference

UPDATE: my main peeve with this phone was short battery life... Last week I got the new motorola extended battery for "droid pro" and now it is perfect 5 stars all the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally an excuse to move away from your BlackBerry December 19, 2010

Reviewer:  Erik Gfesser  (Lombard, IL United States) -

Great phone. After having used this phone for a week, I must say that buying this new phone to replace my BlackBerry 8830 World Edition was the right move to make. Since one of my colleagues acquired the first Android phone (the T-Mobile G1) a couple years ago, and seeing Android operating system adoption move to a host of phones since that time, I have been waiting for an Android phone with a front-facing physical keyboard like my BlackBerry smart phone. In my opinion, the Droid Pro is a triple-threat, providing the Android operating system with a front-facing physical keyboard in a small enough package that provides one-handed operation for the person on-the-go. In addition, the Droid Pro is a true world phone. The only qualm I have about this device is that the keyboard keys are placed slightly too close together. When placing my old BlackBerry next to the Droid Pro, the length of the keyboards between the two appear to be about the same, but the width of the Droid Pro keyboard is slightly narrower. As with any phone, the potential buyer should try out a phone in person before purchasing, but with this phone I especially recommend doing so solely because of the keyboard. Although this phone has a smaller screen size relative to other Android phones currently on the market, the multiple screens can be accessed by flicking side-to-side, so I do not miss the trackball on my old BlackBerry. Prior to moving to the Droid Pro with Verizon, I had considered moving to the HTC Evo 4G while still with Sprint, but because reviews of that phone consistently complained about short battery life, and the 4G network is immature at this point, I held out. And I am glad that I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone and Great Price! December 7, 2010

Reviewer:  D. Yu "DYU" 

I just received this phone from Amazon and it is perfect! It was my first smartphone and I was stuck between a Blackberry or a Droid. This is the best of both worlds! Fast processor, lots of apps, great interface (has both Android and Motoblur), and great features. The only downside is battery life (which lasts only one day) but if you know how to change your settings, you can maximize your battery life. Besides, expect a short battery life when switching to a smartphone!
Also, it only cost me 50 bucks on Amazon while it's 180 dollars on Verizon! Who can beat a price cut like that?!?! Amazon also has free returns within 30 days if you don't open it while Verizon charges a restocking fee. Everyone should be getting phones from Amazon!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great phone but took some effort to get it that way March 23, 2011

Reviewer:  C. Badham  (salt lick city, ut) -

I'm coming to the Droid Pro involuntary since my company converted to these from Blackberry. My previous phone was a BB Storm 3350.

Pros: Great OS, Android Apps/widgets/market place, etc. Running apps from SD card. wifi, hotspot, multiple profiles and home screens.

Cons: Swipe to unlock is a major pain. Poor battery life. Small screen. 2 gig sd card isn't sufficient.

I won't go too much into pro/cons because they're described pretty well in most of the other reviews. There were quite a few things I had to do get this phone to where I love it. 1) Download an app to disable the swipe to unlock. 2) Download an app to control the settings a little easier. 3) Get used to a crappy 3rd party Exchange Server app.

With a few exceptions, most of the android version of apps I had on my blackberry run so much better and with a better user experience. Google Voice is a good example.

The battery life is horrendous. Luckily, my blackberry chargers fit, so I keep one at work and one at home.

I've got skinny fingers so the keyboard size isn't an issue for me but I can see how it could be for a lot of people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blows my blackberry away December 4, 2010

Reviewer:  Runner 

This device is the best of both worlds. Great touchscreen on the latest Android 2.2, plus a keypad I can use with one hand. I love the features on this device too. 1GHz processor just like the MOTO Droid family, a smartphone that stands for speed and power. Everything I do on this phone is snappy, no waiting for web pages to load or videos to stream. The camera is real clear too. I found a great feature that lets you print photos right to your favorite local retail shop, for example Costco. I use the device for both work and personal use - I'm not going back to blackberry.
