Beneath the display are the typical Android touch-sensitive buttons: Menu, Home, Back, and Search. The left spine of the XPRT houses the volume rocker and the micro-USB port. On the right spine, you'll find a shortcut button that you can customize for whatever you need frequent and quick access to. To set it up, you just go to Settings, Applications, Quick launch. I programmed this button to launch my inbox.

Ready for Business

The XPRT packs a clutch of features for business users and IT professionals. It has VPN support for multiple profiles, enhanced data encryption for both your phone and your microSD card (this feature won't be rolled out until 2011, however), a built-in task manager (so you don't need to download a third-party manager), remote wipe capabilities, Exchange-based device management, and advanced password protection. You can edit documents via the preinstalled Quick Office Device management application. Because it is a global CDMA/GSM handset, the XPRT can support voice calling and data in over 200 countries worldwide, making it ideal for business users who travel abroad frequently.

The XPRT also has , another boon for business users. You can connect up to five devices to the mobile hotspot, and I had no trouble getting my Wi-Fi devices up and running. The XPRT offers complete support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, and it makes accessing your Gmail account--and any other POP3 or IMAP e-mail account--a snap.

Aside from these additional features, the user interface is almost identical to the Motorola Droid 2's. Yes, regrettably, the XPRT ships with and not the most recent version, 2.3 (Gingerbread).
