Motorola Announces European Release of Motorola Pro




Finally, a work phone worth taking home.  At least, that’s how Motorola is pitching the Motorola Pro to the European market in its Youtube video.  Virtually identical to the Droid Pro (minus the Verizon-purchased “Droid” name), this phone will be hitting the European market soon, aimed at bringing Android to business professionals. Sporting a 1GHz CPU and a 3.1-inch display with full QWERTY keyboard, this device is more than capable of handling anything one might traditionally turn to a Blackberry for. Youtube video and full press release available after the break.
