At the time of this post we had not come across a full changelog explaining what this update brings, however there should be a performance boost, security fixes, better app management and a new version of MOTOBLUR.

There has been no official mention of this update from Motorola (to out knowledge), however we are hearing that the update started hitting devices over-the-air yesterday. There is a chance that Motorola are carrying out a small update roll out to ensure that the process goes smoothly for everyone, we have seen this in the past.

As you can see there is still quite a lot of mystery surrounding this update, therefore we would love some feedback from you in the comments section below if you own the Motorola Droid Pro. Feel free to answer any of the following questions: Has the update hit your smartphone OTA? If so, what changes / enhancements have you noticed?

According to a recent IntoMobile article Amazon want just $19.99 for the Droid Pro as part of a two-year deal with Verizon, you can see a screenshot showing this below (it has been edited in terms of layout but the pricing is correct).

As you can see the above image shows that you pay Amazon just $19.99 for the Droid Pro (here) and then monthly payments of $39.99 for the Verizon Wireless Nationwide Single Line Talk 450 tariff and $15.00 a month for the minimum data plan, this is the cheapest possible way to get hold of the Droid Pro as part of a Verizon deal.

If you were to do the same on Best Buy you would pay the same monthly prices, however would have to pay $49.99 for the Droid Pro (here), you can see a screenshot showing this pricing below.

To be honest with you even buying the Droid Pro from Best Buy is still a lot cheaper than buying it direct from Verizon Wireless, for the same price plans mentioned above you have to pay Verizon $179.99 for the handset, you can see this price here.

So there you have it guys, if you want the Motorola Droid Pro as part of a Verizon contract check out Amazon, if they are sold out check out Best Buy, but do not head over to Verizon's website and pay over the odds.

How much did you pay for your Motorola Droid Pro?

As reported from BGR, this is a rather good offer, since you’ll be able to pick up a brand new handset from Best Buy, for just $49 subject to a two year agreement with Best Buy Mobile.

From what we’ve seen, this is the lowest price for this handset on contract anywhere, as we’ve taken a quick peek at Verizon’s website, and they currently have it on sale for $179.99 on a two year deal.

That is a fair reduction in price from Best Buy, perhaps it is yet another attempt to spread the word that Best Buy Mobile can compete with the big boys? If you are interested in taking advantage of this deal, you can view the product page here – the deal is valid online too which is good.

What are your thoughts on this offer? Impressed or not?

The Droid Pro will become available for pre-order tomorrow, it will cost $179.99 as part of a two-year deal (when you take into account a $100 mail-in rebate), it will hit stores on November 18th.

The Droid Pro works worldwide, it has a physical QWERTY keyboard and looks a bit like a long BlackBerry Bold 9700, apparently Motorola has given this smartphone better Microsoft Exchange compatibility, the ability to edit Microsoft Office docs, VPN functionality and much more.

If you check out this recent PCMag article you can see a full breakdown of all of the new and improved Android features which make the Droid Pro a true competitor in the enterprise market.

To be honest with you it is nice to see a smartphone manufacturer using Android for something other than an iPhone rival, it will be interesting to see just how RIM respond.

Do you need a smartphone for corporate usage? If so, are you seriously considering the Motorola Droid Pro 2?

That is according to this report from Droid-Life, as they have taken information from an official-looking Verizon test website, revealing a $299 price for the BlackBerry-esque handset.

That $299 price relates to a two-year deal with Verizon and after a $100 rebate. For those of you who would prefer to buy the handset outright, expect to pay a hefty $499 for one.

What are your thoughts on this? Did you expect to pay $199 for this on contract, or did you predict that Verizon would make this one of their ‘premium’ handsets?

LG has revealed two Android-based smartphones so far at the event, these are the Sprint-bound LG Optimus S (here) and the T-Mobile-bound LG Optimus T, we have not yet spoke about the Optimus T, but we can confirm that it runs Android 2.2 and features a 3.2 inch screen and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

So what features does this enterprise Google Android handset come with? The first thing that is needed for any such handset is push email, which is then protected with corporate-level security. Another great and important feature is the Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing you to connect to another five devices.

Looking at some of the images over at Mobiledia, you will notice that it is not one huge touchscreen device – most BlackBerry handsets have a physical keyboard, as does the Droid Pro.

We already know that Android has started to close the gap on both RIM and Apple, but trying to compete in the corporate market is certainly a big ask. Can the Motorola Droid Pro take on RIM?
