I started my career with CNET all the way back in 2005, when the (original) Motorola Razrs were all the rage. Since then, I've written about everything from consumer electronics to internet culture for outlets like CNET, Engadget and Yahoo. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of baseball, board games, tabletop RPGs and improv comedy.
The Motorola Droid Pro is surprisingly slim and lightweight for what is supposedly a business-centric device. At first we thought it would be top-heavy, but it really isn't. The 3.1-inch HVGA display feels wide enough, and the QWERTY keyboard doesn't feel dwarfed at all. In fact, we really think Motorola nailed the look and feel of the BlackBerry keyboard here -- maybe it's not completely identical, but it could be close enough to win over BlackBerry die-hards.
