Verizon wireless announces release date of Droid Pro

Do you like Android? Do you like the Blackberry keyboard? What if your Droid and a Blackberry Curve got together and had a baby? Enter the Droid Pro. With a 3.1 inch touchscreen, Android 2.2, Exchange support, and Mobile HotSpot support, it's sure to get Blackberry owners looking for something different excited. And when we say the Droid Pro's keyboard is like the Blackberry Curve's, we mean it looks EXACTLY like it. We smell some litigation coming.

Pre-sales begin online and at some Verizon stores starting Nov. 9, while it will be available everywhere, on Nov. 18. Pricing will be $179.99 on a new two-year contract, after a $100 mail-in rebate.
