The software

The Droid Pro ships with Android 2.2 -- aka Froyo. That’s just about the newest version of the Android OS, if you’re not counting a couple of phones on Android 2.2.1, and if you’re not counting that we’re expecting the announcement of Android 2.3 Gingerbread any time now.
Droid Pro appsThe phone has the same homescreen customizations that debuted earlier this year on the Droid X. (Call it the new Blur, or Motoblur or, yes, Phil Blur.) You’ve got the usual three buttons at the bottom for the phone dialer, app launcher and contacts. (Note to Motorola: Please change the contacts button to something more useful. We can get to the contacts through the phone dialer just fine, thank you very much.)
You have the usual seven home screens on which to put app shortcuts, widgets -- the works. Motorola’s loaded them up with the usual widgets -- social networking, updates, weather, some useful toggles for Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and airplane mode), calendar, messages, search, music app, photo gallery, news reader -- a ton of stuff for a little phone, really.
Call it bloat if you must, but they’re really some useful widgets, and they have the added bonus of being resizeable if you want. (Tap and hold a widget. When you let go, it can be resized.)
Apps on the Droid Pro by default include:
3G Mobile Hotspot Alarm and Timer Amazon MP3 Backup Assistant
Browser Calculator Calendar Camcorder (video recording)
Camera (still photography) City ID (hasn’t gotten any more useful) Contacts Dialer
DLNA (streaming to DLNA-enabled TVs E-mail (non gmail) EMERGENCY (A way to get emergency alerts) Files (a handy file explorer)
Gallery Gmail Google Search Help Center
Google Latitude Google Listen Manage SIM card Maps (Google Maps)
Android Market Media Share Messaging (Single inbox) Music
My Accounts (add accounts to phone) My Verizon Mobile (account info) Navigation (Google Maps Navigation) News (RSS reader)
News and Weather (stock Android app) NFS Shift (racing game) Places (Google Location Search and recomm.) Quickoffice
Settings Skype Mobile Social Networking Talk (Gchat)
Task Manager Text Messaging Voice Command Voice Search
Voiecmail VPN YouTube
A lot of that we could do without, but to each his (or her) own. Not preloaded are any of Verizon’s VCAST apps, and that makes us happy.
Oh, and notice that Task Manager? Yeah. It's an evil, EVIL task manager. Actually, the app itself is well done. If there's an app that hangs (I have the occasional problem with Seesmic not making a connection, for instance), you can use this to kill the app, and then reopen it. But please, PLEASE, don't use it to automatically kill apps that you think you don't want running. Because it's fine, you're wrong, and the Droid Pro has plenty of overhead to handle more than one thing at a time.

Some odds and ends

  1. We had zero problems with the GPS on the Droid Pro. It locked on in about 12 seconds.
  2. The speakerphone is above average -- Motorola continues to make great ones.
  3. There are 14 steps between LOUD and vibrate, using the volume buttons.
  4. Double-tap the home button to launch voice commands. (That's different than using the microphone button.
  5. The web browser is your basic Android browser. Nothing special, it just works.
  6. The only on-screen keyboard you have is the Motorola multitouch keyboard. No Swype. You can download others at your leisure.
