I am writing for some help for my aunt. She is due for an upgrade now. She currently has a BB Curve with the thumb and she is looking for a new phone preferably with a keyboard either hidden so you can slide it open or just flat out on the phone.

Any help would be appreciated

Droid Pro is a nice device and it is on sale with an additional rebate for the next couple of days.

Sparker, you've been on these boards long enogh to know every Verizon smartphone launcher I'm the last year. Full keyboard drops that list to maybe six options. Take her to the store and ask her which two she likes, then come back and ask for dirt comparing the two. We'll help.

She is looking at the Droid Pro but I've read some not so favorable reviews of the device on here.

I am aware of the options but she's got rheumatoid arthritis and therefore touch screens aren't the best option for her.

Thanks

I can't say anything bad about the Droid Pro. All of the Motorola Droids, from the first Droid to Droid 2, Droid X, and Droid Pro are all great phones.

I would definitely go Droid Pro or get another Blackberry. With arthritis like that she won't want to deal with the flat profile keyboards like the Droid 2.

I'd argue the reason for less than favorable reviews here is that the people reviewing the phones tend to be power users, and the Pro isn't a Power Phone.
