I have one for sale, used three months. It works fine,though I was less than pleased when I found the added cost of adding wireless hotspot.

When initially purchased it came w/$15.00 mo data fee. Later , as I tried to add Wireless Hotspot it changed the data rate to $30.00mo and added $ 40.00 for the Hotspot. That all seemed excessive so I went back to old phone. Hence the Droid Pro sits on the shelf!

mine works crappy in my shop due to low signal on verizon. But other areas not so signally challenged it's sweet. Wicked fast and battery lasts all day plus.

iphone sucks vs. droid, IMHO. I have both.

iphone takes slightly better pics, but that is it..

My current main phone is Samsung Droid Charge, and it is awesome. Way better than the Iphone 4. Haven't tried the 4s yet.

i bent my wookie
