    Has anyone here tried it yet? How does it compare to the Blackberry you used?

    I especially want to know how good the browser, the keyboard and the touchscreen is.

    Even though the Droid Pro is better than any Blackberry on the market, it has gotten mediocre reviews. It's a great device but for the same money you can get a better Android device. If you're concerned about having a physical keyboard don't be afraid to look or try out a device with a virtual keyboard. Many BB users that switch over to Android adapt to virtual keyboards without any problems. I guess it's a mental thing but BB keyboards aren't all that you think they are. Good luck.

    I just got one - and am very happy with the Android OS- the Keyboard is not as good as my 9650- but I'm getting used to it- the screen is bigger- too but small in comparison to to others. I bought it used at craigslist to see f I likes it (its a great transitional model from a BB) - as I didn't want to waste my upgrade- lots of new units coming between now and June- so I can wait with this model-

    Email does "push" into it- BUT the BB email software and usage is better- but not so much as to keep a BB user a this time- I think the QNX based BB's may lure me back- but the overall experience of android is better at present- and no- I don;t have to do battery pulls or load new OS's every few months- my BB now seems so Industrial by comparison- yet it is still a great platform- and I hope they do "catch up". I don't like like the Moto / Verizon crap they load - and it isn't so easy to get rid of- I learned a lot about BB's and using Os's and shrinking them etc- more complicated with Android i.e., rooting- doesn't seem worth the effort-

    Anyways- the Pro is a good unit- I recommend getting the Motorola extended battery form Verizon- once "cured" I can go a full 30 hours- andt he thicker back is so minutely thicker that a Seidio case still fit !

    Hope that hopes !
