Browse

The Droid Pro uses the stock Android browser, with Flash 10.1 installed. The browser does a great job and can render pages exactly as they look on the desktop. The browser was also very responsive to my touch. I was able to use two fingers to zoom in smoothly, and I could flick around large pages with no lag or delay. Flash wasn't very impressive, but it definitely got the job done. I would recommend waiting until the video has completely loaded before you start viewing. Videos could be very sluggish while they were still buffering, but once the videos were completely loaded, they played very smoothly. Videos on CNN's site were completely watchable, with a little patience.

Customize

There are some nice customization options on the Motorola Droid Pro, beyond the standard Android and Motoblur features. The side key, for instance, can be assigned to open any application on the phone. You can also assign shortcuts to letter keys on the keyboard. Just hold the search button and press the appropriate letter, and you can jump to any application you choose. I wish you could assign specific settings to these keys, so that pressing search + w, for instance, would toggle Wi-Fi on and off. But there are widgets you can use for most of the features you'll want to toggle.

The Motorola Droid Pro also offers a trio of profiles that you can set up for yourself. Profiles change the layout of the homescreen panels. So, you can have one layout for Work, with all the widgets and apps you need on the job. Then another layout for Home, and a third for the Weekend. This is a very nice customization feature, especially if you like to dig deep and organize all of your homescreen panels. I do wish it also adjusted settings. The phone does not use sound profiles, and it would have been nice for various sounds and alerts to be tied to the Work or Home profiles.

Otherwise, you get all of the features you'll find on a Motoblur phone like the Droid 2, as well as the extensive customization options that are a part of Android.
