Motorola's BlackBerry? The freshly-announced Moto Droid Pro's keyboard
feels like it, to be sure, and after trying it out, we believed the
Motorola rep who told us they tested comparable speeds of 37WPM in
several focus groups. But that's definitely Android under the hood,
paired with a nice, responsive capacitive touchscreen and a 1GHz
processor that sped through the UI. Check it out in our gallery below
while we go find out more!
Update: We just had a nice long chat with a Motorola
representative, and found out what's under the Droid Pro's hood -- it's
a 1GHz OMAP 3620, to be precise, with an MDM6600 chipset, 512MB of
memory and 2GB of onboard storage, plus 802.11n 2.4GHz WIFI, Bluetooth
2.1 and tri-band UMTS. There's a dual LED flash alongside that
auto-focus camera, and a programmable key on the side that asks you
what you want it to do the first time you press it. There's 3G mobile
hotspot support for up to five devices, and an optional 1860mAh
extended battery and case, plus a desktop charger dock like those for
the Droid and Droid 2. It also just so happens that the Droid Pro has
the push functionality of Blur even though it isn't weighed down by the
full Blur UI, and supports SD card remote wipes, has spellcheck
integrated into the OS and a "multi-headed" VPN client. Had enough yet?
We've got a series of screenshots below pulled directly from the device.
