Motorola PRO deals & review

The Motorola Pro is one of the many phones that have started to appear with frontal keypads as well as touch sensitive screens. In a way, with its compact QWERTY keypad, the Motorola Pro is reminiscent of a typical BlackBerry handset, but the Pro also features a much larger screen than you would usually find on one of RIMs phones. While the 3.1" capacitive screen is large in comparison to the overall size of the phone, it is placed at the smaller end of the spectrum for all touchscreen phones available.

The more vertical proportions of the screen, along with its sharp 320 x 480 resolution, will make it more favourable to many phone owners compared to traditional BlackBerry style handsets which can often feel a bit cramped when it comes to their displays. The touch sensitive screen comes with multitouch input and an accelerometer is also available for auto-rotation of the interface.
