Jeez, another phone from Motorola (not to make it sound like we aren’t glad). This time, they’re announcing the Motorola PRO+, a followup to the original known as the Motorola Pro or Motorola DROID PRO (Verizon). Set to hit the Asias and Europe this October, it’s a 1GHz device with a fully-exposed QWERTY keyboard that aims to draw in the Blackberry crowd who are looking to jump ship to a more… “modern” OS.

Aside from the more-than-capable processor, we’ve got 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a 5 megapixel camera with video recording and flash, Android 2.3, a 1600mAh battery and more. Look out for it at retailers and carriers starting in October. Read on for full press details.

Plus, it features scratch resistant Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass so tossing your phone in your bag or pocket doesn’t have to be a disaster.
