Unboxing the Motorola Droid Pro

Last week I received a Motorola Droid Pro review unit from the lovely people at Verizon. It joins the ranks of the Droid 2 and the Droid X, but adds some unique features...

Most obvious is the QWERTY keyboard, which looks and feels exactly like a BlackBerry keyboard. There's a pretty decent camera (5 MP autofocus with dual LED flash) and a global radio (CDMA + GSM/HSPA) on board. Sadly, the portrait layout means the screen is smaller (3.1″) and lower resolution (HVGA -- 480×320 pixels) than its siblings.

I've already recorded the launch of this phone for Engadget during CTIA, but check out my unboxing video and expect some pictures soon!

Any info on what GSM bands the radio supports?

[qrpkgrl]

@MatthewLSottile it's quad band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and tri-band HSPA (850/1900/2100). Word on the street is even if/when unlocked, it's unable to connect to 850/1900 GSM networks in the US (AT&T & T-Mobile) because of custom baseband firmware.

Hey Myriam, what camera are you using to record this video?

[qrpkgrl]

@MyNokiaBlog just a cheap Sony point-and-shoot

[Honeysingh555]

they copied the blackberry keyboard style

[qrpkgrl]

@Honeysingh555 no shit

[ai4281]

@Honeysingh555 It's exact copy of the Curve keyboard, I think. I guess RIM doesn't have patents on hardware designs lol

@jordanstepp hoed.

[MyNokiaBlog]

@qrpkgrl yeah actually the camera's really good for these type of videos. Autofocus pretty fast.

[qrpkgrl]

@jordanstepp first, it's a cheap Sony point and shoot digital camera - $79. Second, I've set it to macro (auto-focus) and it's doing exactly what it's supposed to - continuously re-focusing close up - the problem is that it's slow...

I'll eventually get a better cam with HD and a faster macro (auto-focus). In the meantime, buck up and shut up!
