Motorola and Verizon’s crazy portrait Droid Pro unveiled (update: specs!)

Whoa — we knew Motorola likes to get funky with the form factors , but the new Droid Pro on Verizon might be the strangest (and best) yet: it’s a portrait device (the rumored Venus ) with a BlackBerry-esque keyboard below the screen. It’s not the Droid 2 World Edition we were expecting, but damn — we’re in love. We don’t know much specs-wise apart from Android 2.2 with Blur and global roaming support in more than 220 countries, but we’re digging for as much as we can, so stay tuned.
