The Droid Pro somewhat unexpectedly delves into BlackBerry territory: it's a candy bar phone with a 3.1-inch touch screen and a full qwerty keyboard. It also sports a 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and auto-focus, a 1GHz processor, 512MB of memory and 2GB of on-board storage (which can be further expanded via SD memory cards). As far as communication goes, it supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and tri-band UMTS.

All of this makes the Droid Pro a businessman's phone and a competitor to BlackBerry, which shows that Motorola plans to cover all bases with its Droid line of smartphones. It might be a good strategy: after all, how many keyboardless, touch-screen Androids do we really need?

The Citrus, on the other hand, is a small touch-screen phone, sporting Android 2.1 (unfortunately, it seems that entry-level phones don't get to have the latest version of Android.) The technical details are scarce, but the folks from Engadget found out the device will have a 524MHz MSM7525 processor and a 3-inch screen. It should hit the market before the end of 2010, while the Droid Pro should be available from Verizon in the first week of November.
