Motorola DROID Pro now $49 from Best Buy Mobile

‘Tis the season, we suppose. Motorola’s latest, and most enterprise-focused DROID device has now dropped to the very appealing price of only $49.99 with new two year service agreement from Best Buy Mobile. Both online and physical store locations are offering the deal, and from what we have seen so far, this is the lowest out of the door price for this handset. Now, you’re ultimately going to have to make the call between the DROID Pro or the Motorola DROID 2 Global (if global DROID devices are up your alley, that is), but the price gap has definitely just been made a bunch wider. Make sure to check out our DROID Pro review to help you decide, ok?

    Any verizon retailer would match Best buy’s store price too. I own a verizon store and i match bestbuy, verizon online, bjs, and costco. The only places we don’t match is wirefly and letstalk sicne they make you sign secondary agreements.

      Interesting, I’m used to experiencing commision grabbing people in verizon stores who want to push the handset they will make most on or need to get rid of.

      I was actually told in a Verizon store that if I bought at Bestbuy I couldn’t take the phone back as soon as I left the store and verizon would not be able to help me as I didn’t buy the phone from them.

      Funny how they never offered to match a lower price and just try to scare me instead, maybe round here theres enough people that fall for that crap.

        Maybe because you’re ignorant?

        The Verizon Wireless store he “owns” is actually a reseller like Best Buy, Costco, BJs, etc. He is an authorized reseller, not an actual Verizon Wireless corporate store. Corporate stores have store managers and assistant store managers, not owners.

        No one is trying to “scare you”. Unless facts by their very nature, are scary to you. Yes, if you buy from an authorized reseller, you can’t the phone back to a Verizon Wireless corporate store for service. If you buy a Toyota Camry from Autos 4 Less and the engine blows when you drive it out of the lot, do you think the Toyota dealership is going to replace it for free for you? Why should Verizon Wireless give you service on a phone that you went and bought cheaper at a reseller?

        It’s really people that are ignorant, spoiled babies like you that make the business of selling phones so difficult. I’m sure any negative responses you received in the store is to due to your raging stupidity.

      BestBuy online and Costco online also requires secondary agreements. So do Radio Shack, Newegg, Dell, Target… This is just his excuse for not wanting to match the price leaders in the category..

      • Qwerty

        What are these secondary aggreements? I was going to order thru wirefly,com, thanks!

      • Harley

        Oh yeah before you order you can always find coupons on their Facebook page.

      • Matrix

        Best Buy Mobile does not require any secondary agreement. Do research before you open your stupid mouth and misslead people.

        sirpaul,

        I don’t have to ‘Like’ my own posts as the many DROID enthusiasts out there do it for me. But thanks for your concern about my well being.

      When will people get it: discounted phones aren’t about selling more phones, it’s about getting more subscribers. Motorola gets the same money either way; Verizon pays for the subsidy.

      So Verizon takes a phone that people like, discount it, and draw a much larger number of people into contracts – where the money REALLY is.

      Discounting a phone no one likes won’t get you more sales and contracts; discounting a phone that people DO like will get you a lot of fence-sitters. Sales 101…

      • Anon

        That’s not always true. Sometimes the manufacturer is the one offering the discount.

      • Shanghai Dan

        On old, end-of-life phones, sure. On new models? I’d find that hard to believe…

  • Norm

    VZW is just knocking it out of the park with DROID this Holiday season. This is easily a 600 dollar phone and at 50 dollars we are basically giving it away. Perfection = DROID!

  • Dave

    If this is as big a piece of shit phone as my three short lived Droid 2 Global phones I’d stay far away from the price incentive as you’ll be pissed off for how unreliable it is.

    Must be selling well……..to derseve such discountiing.

    Only problem I have with the Droid Pro is the screen resolution is just a little low for my liking.

    • sirpaul

      You like the keyboard?

      • Anonymous

        Exactly.

  • keymaker

    My problem with the Droid Pro is how it only comes with 2GB of flash memory and then they bundle a 2GB class 2, Micro SD card thats not even worth 25 cents. They claim you can buy a 32GB Micro SD card but they don’t tell you that a good class 10, 32GB card thats not even on the market yet will cost you over $200, not to mention is light years slower than intergraded flash.

    There’s still apparentlynan issue with the earpiece speaker on the Droid Pro too. I’d go with the Droid 2 Global if I didn’t already have an Evo on Sprint. Fortunately for us “Sprinties” it looks like HTC is going to make a very Droid-like device in January. Either the Knight or Evo Shift. I can’t keep all the dumped straight anymore.
