    Rather have the BBTorch; bigger screen, better kb, probably better OS too. The whole world gets Torched and Vz and Sprint the the Style-wtf. This is a bad joke. And this Droid pro, looks like a BB but no push email. That’s the whole point of having a BB style phone, superior communication, not to mention BBM.

      Android phones have built-in support for push e-mail via Gmail or Exchange. Using a 3rd-party e-mail app like K9 adds support for push IMAP.

    Believe it or not, I am actually interested in the Citrus, mainly because I am shopping for a phone for my (relatively young) kids.

    That 528MHz MSM7225 processor actually contains a dedicated GPU, called Adreno 200, which is also found in the first generation Snapdragon processors! This, combined with ultra low resolution, will result in a pretty good performing phone. It will run most games pretty well too! Its not as bad as it looks. :)

    For non-power users, I don’t think this is a bad phone.

    this is the ugliest phone…

    Good concept, but I would wait for RIM to release a better designed Candybar with keyboard and touchscreen.

    This doesn’t have a trackball/pad for precision selection, which means I’m not getting it.

      but it has touch screen for selection, and if its similar in size to the droid or droid 2 it could still have like a 3 inch screen, which is the same size or larger than some of the small android devices out there. if the keyboard has as much quality as the blackberry ones, i think this would be a huge blackberry turnover device

      • Len

        Yes I realize the touchscreen is for selection, but I specifically meant, “precision” selection, which is something a trackpad is far better at doing.

        That simple inclusion would have made this miles above what it is now.

    this looks like a rip of the BB torch… Android really needs to come up with something original. they really need a niche of some sort.

    Didn’t know what made this a Business smartphone until I read this: http://www.examiner.com/android-in-new-york/what-makes-the-motorola-droid-pro-a-business-smartphone

    There is no way I would go buy a new phone that only has a 3.1″ screen. It looks like the keyboard was added after the fact. I am currently a blackberry user. I plan on switching to android. The perfect phone for me with be 4″ screen, full touchscreen no physical keyboard, 2.2., 1GHz or higher. Hopefully someone makes it.
