Test: Einzeltest: Motorola PRO
Zitat: Pro: + Great in-call performance Robust battery Good build quality
Contra: - Unresponsive Android keys Keyboard is far from perfect Android 2.2 Froyo Mediocre display
In a nutshell, the Motorola PRO is a well-built, solid device, but it is far from perfect. We liked its superior in-call sound quality, the way how it feels in the hand, and the wonderful audio player it has been equipped with. On top of that, its interface may not be pretty, but it makes up for it with being fluid and practical. On the other hand, its hardware keyboard cannot compete with the ones BlackBerrys come equipped with, its internet browser doesn´t seem to be snappy enough to meet the needs of business professionals, and the capacitive Android keys are plain annoying to use. In addition, its display looks below par even when compared with some run-of-the-mill Android offerings. So, if you are looking for a business-centric device, the Motorola PRO doesn´t seem to be the best option out there. Perhaps you might want to check out the BlackBerry Bold 9900 or the BlackBerry Curve 9360 first. However, if Android is a must, the LG Optimus Pro could be a lighter and cheaper alternative to the Motorola PRO. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini pro should also be taken into account, as long as you do not mind its smaller size and sliding form factor. Besides that, the Sony Ericsson Xperia pro is not far from launching, so if you are not in a rush for a new smartphone, you might want to check it out as well.
