Droid Pro 2 - What would you like to see?

---

My only guess why the Droid Pro hasn't taken off like it should have is the somewhat low resolution screen that sits recessed in the bezel. HTC screens usually sit nice and flush with the front of the phone and are of higher resolution.

What would you like to see in the Droid Pro 2 that isn't in the Droid Pro?
1. Higher resolution screen
2. Slightly larger screen with less bezel around it
3. Front facing camera
4. Better battery life

I think it does exactly what it has to do, be a business/corporate phone. It is def not a developer phone like many of the HTCs but is pretty good as whats its supposed to be.
Ask yourself, as somebody in an corporate environment would you really need a higher res screen? I give you the longer battery life, but I assume it will spend most time hooked up to a in-car charger or connected to a power-supply at work anyways. You dont really need it a front-facing camera either, I cant think of any application of that in the corporate world..
Btw, it will be a long while till there will be a new Pro 2.. Motorola just announced to offer the Droid Pro as the Motorola Pro in Europe with exactly the same hardware (as far as the news go)...

Well by that logic, you don't really need a color screen, a camera, or side volume keys.

Even the screen on the Legend looks better . I'll still be keeping my Droid Pro with its physical keyboard until a better model comes out either from Motorola or HTC.

Yes yes and more yes!

1. Definitely agreed on the larger screen with less bezel, providing opportunity for higher resolution.
2. I'm not so concerned with the front-facing camera or HD video recording, but I certainly wouldn't oppose such improvements
3. Agreed on battery life
4. I would also tolerate a taller phone if it meant incorporating some kind of directional keys - be it a four-way rocker, or maybe they could fit a blackberry-style touch pad in the middle of the capacitive android buttons, negating the need for making the phone taller.

So we all agree that the Droid Pro 2 needs a higher resolution screen with less bezel and better battery life.

I don't necessarily see the need for the front facing camera or the HD recording (cell phone cameras aren't going to produce good recordings regardless), but I wouldn't be opposed to those improvements, either.

A higher resolution would be nice, but more importantly, bettery battery life. It would be nice if they included the extended battery instead of the stock one.

Also, I'd love to see the Menu, Home, Back, and Search buttons become hardware buttons, with a directional pad in the middle of them. That's one thing I really miss from my Treo. Hardware buttons would be harder to accidentally hit while typing, would give the phone a more professional feel, and wouldn't necessarily call for a taller phone if the buttons were sized right.

I always thought someone should realease a "true" business android phone. A highly efficient black and white low power screen. scroll wheel. no camera or at least a very basic camera that is optimized for scanning documents and business cards. Huge ass battery. No bloat, just stripped down awesomeness.

There are still many many folks out there using the original blackberrys.

email and battery life are the #1 and #2. Everything else is just gravy. Imagine a business phone that worked globally, woked well for phone calls, had a good keyboard, rock solid email and calendar functionality. dream...

Plus it needs to be thin and small. no business man wants to cary around a giant iPhone. I thought my droid pro would be smaller but its still to big.
