Motorola Defy Pro with QWERTY keyboard announced for Brazil

Motorola announced the first member of its Defy family of smartphones with a QWERTY keyboard. The new Defy Pro comes with a 2.7-inch Gorilla Glass display (HVGA or QVGA – we’re not sure) and it’s also a rugged (or at least semi-rugged) device made for folks leading an active lifestyle. In that sense, it comes with a specially designed dashboard, featuring three different views: Outdoor View that provides weather forecasts, Hiking View which shows info and details about hiking trails, and Workout View that includes a stopwatch and calorie monitor.

As for the rest of the specs, there’s Wi-Fi connectivity on board, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, Bluetooth, GPS, DLNA and a memory card slot.

Motorola failed to mention the price, though it said that the Defy Pro will be available in Brazil “by July 15.” Afterwards, we’re sure some other markets will get it, as well. It definitely looks like one of those smartphones that would be appreciated by folks switching from BlackBerry…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
