Should I get a Droid Prio?

[Kers7289]

I'm a college business student and currently have an at&t feature phone, and am in the process of switching to Verizon. I've never had a smartphone before and while browsing the phone selection the Droid Pro instantly caught my eye. I like the vertical keyboard (I'm big and clumsy so I hate virtual keyboards). I've been researching Droids for the past few days and still like the Pro best, yes even better than the thunderbolt. However, I've heard the Pro has some software issues from the local Verizon retailer, but couldn't find anything substantial online. Is the Droid Pro worth the investment? Any thoughts woudl be great thanks!
