At the CTIA (Cellular Telephone Industries Association) Enterprise & Applications 2010 event, Motorola, along with Verizon Wireless, unveiled 3.1-inch display bearing Droid Pro which might mean that it would be a Verizon exclusive for U.S. Preloaded with Google Android 2.2, the Droid Pro sports a QWERTY keypad in a candy bar form factor. The pricing of this phone would be announced along with its formal launch date in the coming weeks. The handsets 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen HVGA portrait display supports 320x480 pixel resolution. Just between the touchscreen and the QWERTY keypad, there is touch bar that accommodates the Home key, Menu Key, Back key and Zoom. Under the hood, the Droid Pro sports Texas Instruments' 1GHz OMAP microprocessor that is based on ARM Cortex A8 microarchitecture. For better data connection speeds, this 1GHz OMAP CPU is clubbed with Qualcomm's MDM6600 chipset that promises HSPA+ data rates of up to 14.4Mbps and also support tri-band UMTS. Infact, its specifications are the same as those of the Droid 2. For better voice calls and data connectivity reception, the Droid Pro touts "dual diversity" antennae. Inside the chassis, the Droid Pro packs 512MB RAM and 2GB ROM making Android 2.2 Froyo run smoothly. Shutterbugs can make the best of the 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual-LED flash which will also record HD videos. For geo-tagging, you can use the onboard GPS or assisted GPS with Google Maps. The Droid Pro will sport Google Maps app with Navigation, Google Latitude, Street View and eCompass features - quite useful when you're on the move. Mobile web browsing can be enjoyed with Adobe Flash Player 10.1 support. For the Business class consumers, Motorola will offer Droid Pro with Microsoft Exchange e-Mail and Gmail for Business support. The pre-loaded Quickoffice Mobile Suite will enable viewing, editing and saving Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoint presentations and Excel Spreadsheets- all on the phone itself. Motorola has also added built-in security features like the AuthenTec IPSec multi-headed VPN integration, remote wipe of device and SD card, and complex password support. However, device and SD card encryption will be available by early 2011. Motorola will offer 8GB internal storage along with 8GB SD card that will be bundled with the phone. The Droid Pro offers Wi-Fi connectivity with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) support. The phone also offers 3G Mobile HotSpot feature that allows connecting up to five other Wi-Fi enabled devices and laptops. Spruced with features friendly for corporate users, Motorola Droid Pro might just bump along with BlackBerry smartphones for the business class. More details about its world availability and pricing would be available at handset's release due in the fourth quarter of this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ami1 237 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 I really love this form factor with portrait keyboard, but without the hassles of slider like Pre. Though screen resolution does seem a little low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) After using 4" super amoled of Samsung and the faster graphic processor, I dont think I can go for this phone... Useful for hardcore Blackberry Lovers as it is basically a substitute for them due to a usable (though not as good as blackberry) qwerty keyboard...and also for people on gsm network wanting a sturdy android device which looks like a blackberry... lolz... Also forget about a exceptional multimedia and gaming experience on this phone... it wont be anywhere near what we are using... but for just calls and interface its the first android with a candy-bar form factor with keyboard... Bottomline : Its basically a business phone for the android geeks who want to look like power executives... loz... see the cartoon below and my arrow... lolzidop... EDIT: I am happy with my cool dude (actual) persona... Edited November 7, 2010 by dkaile 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
