We’ve found that one of the disadvantages of living in the internet powered global village is that we get to see in excruciating detail all the cool gizmos and gadgets that never quite make it over to our part of the world. Thankfully, a good portion of the cool gadgets and gizmos do eventually make it over to us, and we’re pleased to say that Motorola’s QWERTY equipped Motorola Droid Pro will be joining their ranks. The Droid Pro will be re-named the Motorola Pro for European markets, but we expect it to ship with the same specifications as its American cousin, including a 1 GHz processor, 3.2 inch touchscreen, and Android 2.2.

Check out the Motorola Pro in action in the video below, and read the full press release below that for more details:
