So after 2 weeks of patiently waiting due to an order problem, my Droid Pro finally arrived last Tuesday right before I went to visit family for the Thanksgiving holiday. So as you can imagine I had a lot of time to play around with the phone & so I did. Unfortunately the area I visited barely had service but I had wifi to use once in a while. I had a 4 hour drive & most of the time I was texting or web browsing, & coming from a Blackberry I was really impressed with that keyboard. I wanted a new phone & didn't like the Blackberry OS but I didn't want to give up that keyboard so I was really excited when they announced the Pro. Also I've wanted an Android phone for a while but didn't want to deal with a sliding keyboard like the Droid 2 or all touch screen phones like the X or Incredible. Before my Blackberry Curve 8330, which I bought on Ebay as a referbished phone, because my phone previous to that was the Samsung Omnia 1 & I hated that phone lol. The touch screen was terrible & I no the touch screens today are much better than back then but I didn't want that same experience. So in the end I went with the Pro. As I said earlier the first 4 hours I used it I was testing out the keyboard & really impressed. My only dislike is everytime you use the "&" symbol it sticks it self the word before. Example: this& that. You have to go back & space out the "&". Apart from that I really like the keyboard. Web browsing is really nice. Pintch to zoom is fun lol. I like the fact that it opens up as a mobile site & you can select the desktop site. The Adobe Flash Player is nice. I watched a full episode of South Park on Southparkstudios.com lol. I've only made a few calls on the phone & so far I haven't had any problems or noticed poor sound quality like I've read. I did notice the phone getting warm after you use it for a few minutes but it cools down just as fast if you let it sit for a minute or two. The battery isn't the best either but it hasn't even been a week yet for me & it doesn't matter much to me since I have a car charger & charged my BB everytime I drove so I'm used to it. I only have 2 MP3 files on my phone for now & they sound fine to me. The camera is better than my BB (obviously since my BB's camera was a 3.2 mp) but I wish there was a button on the phone that is used to capture photos other than touching it to take pics. I like the voice talk for texting & searching on the web but I've noticed if you don't speak right away, the phone locks. Has this happened with anyone? I noticed there were a few apps that caused my phone to freeze. Also when I was playing around in an area with no service it froze on a home screen. I like the free apps & playing around with the live wall papers lol. Angry Birds works fine & is addictive lol. Apart from that, that's all I can think of lol. I made a few videos of my unboxing & a video review which I hope you enjoy. I've never done this before so it's not professional or anything. Thanks for reading!
