Droid Pro coming to Verizon for $299

October 25, 2010 By Jeffrey Van Camp

A leaked shot of the Verizon Wireless site shows the Droid 2 launching Nov. 11 for $299. Are you excited?

Motorola can’t get enough of its Droids. The hardware manufacturer has seen a lot of success with its original Droid handset, as well as the Droid X and Droid 2–perhaps more than any of its handsets since the popular Razr line some years back. According to a screenshot posted by Droid Life, Motorola is releasing a new device called the Droid Pro on Nov. 11 for $299 with a two-year contract. This puts it at $100 more than any other Android device.

The Droid Pro is a candy bar device with a fixed keyboard, similar to a BlackBerry. Motorola hopes to attract some of the business users RIM is serving. Other business features include VPN and the ability to remotely “wipe” the device.

Would you pay $299 for a smartphone or is $199 your limit? Do you want an Android phone that better resembles a BlackBerry?

RtBA at 9:11am 25th October 2010 was really exicted about the Droid Pro but not @ $299. I stay with the blackberry
brian at 8:03am 25th October 2010 Seems strange the retail is only $499.99 and the 2 year contract price is $299.99. Compare that to the Droid X, which is $569.99 with a 2 year contract price of only $199.99. Something tells me that price will change.
