Software update for Motorola DROID Pro available now

A new update is now available for the Blackberry-style DROID Pro via the Verizon update network. Even though this new software update is not the Gingerbread you’re waiting for, this new Blur version 3.8.7 brings a lot of new features and improvements.

Much of the update has to do with correcting several Exchange ActiveSync improvements, like calendar synchronization, but it also includes the VCAST Appstore. Also, this new update will bring a few welcomed bug fixes, a Bluetooth voice recording enhancement and UI enhancements. Today, Motorola has announced that the update should start hitting handsets in waves, so if you haven’t received yours yet, you just have to wait a little more time. To check if yours is ready, go to Menu > Settings > About phone > System updates to get it.

Enhancements:

– Improved audio on voice calls.
– Improved stability and performance.
– User interface display now refreshes when user switches from GSM/UMTS communication to Global Mode.
– Device now prepends 011 to Country Code to send SMS messages.
– Global Mode no longer resets when connecting to a USB charger.
– Visual Voice Mail now detects airplane mode while Wi-Fi is active.
– Prompt return to full screen brightness after wake-up.
– Upgraded Bluetooth firmware.
– Improved interoperability with Microsoft Internet Application Gateway (IAG) configurations.
