Cameraless Android Phone? Motorola Droid Pro Coming Without Camera
![Cameraless Android Phone? Motorola Droid Pro Coming Without Camera [Leaked Document Shows That Motorola Will Ship Phone Without Camera For High-Security Workplaces]](http://nexus404.com/Blog/thumbnailimages/alt/Droid-Pro-Camera-crossedTFTSThumb220153.jpg)
Do you work at Intel? Or Boeing? (or Apple?) If you work in a high-security workplace that won’t allow cell phones with cameras to be brought in, then you may be in luck. While BlackBerries and Windows Mobile devices have ruled the “cameraless market” for years, recent internal documents have hit the web that show that Verizon will be offering a Motorola Droid Pro without a camera.
If it isn’t obvious to you why you’d want a cell phone without a camera, many workplaces don’t let you take them in. Why? Because they don’t want blurry spycam photos of their stuff showing up on tech blogs. But, this goes beyond tech companies. Chemcial compnaies, courthouses, hospitals and even a certain sausage producer I know (no joke) require employees to have cameraless phones.
Documents obtained by tech blog Engadget show training material from somewhere (it isn’t clear if it’s from Verizon or Motorola) and make reference to “the new Enterprise-focused DROID phone without a camera”. This could actually be huge for helpping Android break into business.
Sure, Android has had exchange support and things for a while. But the Droid Pro appears to be the first honest-to-goodness enterprise centric phone from Android, and this cameraless option will go along way to expanding sales, we think.
Unfortunately, many of these high-security workplaces also require phones without USB connections. This definitely would rule out Motorola’s Android phones, though.
What do you think about Motorola offering a cameraless Droid Pro? Awesome feature? Waste of time? Give us your take in the comments section.

AWESOME! I’ve been waiting for an Android phone without a camera for a year already! It’s about time!
Sweeeeeet!
Any further updates on the non camera droid?
Waiting for the cameraless version too. Any news on the estimated release date? If not may just go for the BB 9780 cameraless.
Hi Andy,
I’ve got the Droid Pro in from Verizon for review. Let me ask the rep what the date on the cameraless version will be.

This would be an amazing option if they came out with it. I’ve DOD so I can’t have a camera phone and not to say “stuck” with a blackberry. I’d buy this phone in an instant if they’d make it with a non-camera version.
is there a release date yet on cameraless yet.
Has there been any word out yet on when the cameraless version will be released
Hello all,
In motorola website ..Its showing it comes with 5 MP camera.it sure it is coming without camera?
i think phones should be available in any combination of your choice. i work for verizon and i think they control the market too much by making each model a one-size-fits-all; customers would be happiest if they could customize each feature themselves.
GR8!!!
yeah, well thats not gonna happen. Giving several options for physical features (things that affect the hardware) besides colors would make the manufacturing costs a lot more expensive, and people would be even worse off with that. A basic mid range android phone for $900? I don’t think so.
So, it’s been a year–where’s the phone?
Is the phone really going to be out? I’m also looking for an android cameraless phone.
GREAT! I need one. I am forced to use a dumb phone now. Thanks Droid!
I need a model number and a place to order it from. I need one now.
I need such a non camera smart phone too. I have been waiting for such phone for a long time. I will buy one of this non camera version without hesitate even though I already have BB non camera smart phone. Hope that it can release earlier.
