Motorola Droid Pro Cell Phone Review
Conclusions
Contents
The Droid Pro has a lot going for it – an excellent physical keyboard, a touchscreen, the Android operating system, and a compact form. Only the low resolution of the screen and its spotty responsiveness to the touch mars this otherwise very capable smart phone.
The low resolution can be pretty easily overlooked, but the touch screen response cannot. We have no way of knowing if this was just a problem with our test unit or if it is shared by all the Droid Pros. So we advise giving the touch screen a good testing before you purchase the product.
Although this phone makes a good business and professional phone, the ability to create different profiles makes it a good all-around smartphone for anyone.
The 2 GB microSD card is a bit small but can be upgraded fairly inexpensively. However, we don’t understand why they don’t just include a card with a larger capacity.
So is the Droid Pro is a BlackBerry killer? Well, with a bit of tweaking on the screen, it certainly could be.
