Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid Pro pre-sales start

By jeff

Verizon Wireless has confirmed that November 9 is the pre-sale date for the Motorola DROID PRO. It will hit shelves on November 18 with the standard two-year for $180 after a $100 mail-in rebate. Like most of Motorola’s other DROID offerings, the device runs Android 2.2. The DROID PRO is the first Android device to be targeted at the professional and enterprise markets. The Droid pro does use Motoblur. While the version is toned down to be less obtuse, it’s still not entirely conducive to enterprise implementations. It does have the requisite 1 GHz processor and an impressive 4 GB of memory along with Android 2.2
