Known as the Droid Pro in foreign climes, Motorola has announced that it’s bringing its business focused Motorola PRO to Europe and description it as “A Work Phone Worth Taking Home”.
We’ll certainly have to give this to the design team at Motorola – we didn’t expect a form factor that looked like this.

The Motorola DROID 2 handset has just been officially announced in the States, with a full press release listing all the Android goodness.
Apple is hoping that their notorious reality distortion field might somehow extend to competing products, and continues to knock out a series of dull videos showing rival smartphones supposedly suffering the same ‘Antennagate’ issues as their iPhone 4.
The fine fellas at US price comparison site BillShrink.com have knocked out another of their excellent comparison charts, breaking down the key features and costs of the current big hitters in the smartphone world: the iPhone 3GS, Palm Pre, Motorola Droid and the brand spanking new Google Nexus One.
It’s been a hefty hit in the US, where it was released as the Droid and promoted by some hilariously macho adverts, and Motorola are now letting Europeans get in on the action.
Renamed ‘Milestone,’ the phone is headed to the UK and offers a tempting feature set, with a 3.7-inch 854 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, dualband (900/2100) HSDPA/HSUPA and a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and a dual LED flash.
We love seeing big corporates taking pot shots at each other, and Verizon’s hilariously over the top onslaught against the iPhone really is worth a view.
Backed by a testosterone-fuelled voice-over and featuring lightning bolts, Scud missiles, little porcelain lambs being crushed and a circular saw cutting through a ripe banana (really!), the gloriously macho ad slams into phones that are, “tiara-wearing digitally clueless beauty pageant queens.”
Seen being held in an array of uncomfortable positions and angles is Motorola’s hotly anticipated Droid handset.
A quick reminder of the feast of specs in store: there’s a large 3.7-inch (480 x 854 pixels) touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with 4x zoom, autofocus, and dual LED flash, 3G, Wi-Fi, both physical and virtual keyboards and a 16 GB microSD memory card.
There’s also a beta version of the Google Maps Navigation feature that has just sent Tom Tom and Garmin’s share prices plummeting over a cliff.
