Review: Motorola Devour Android Smartphone on Verizon Wireless

The Motorola Devour is now in Verizon Wireless stores for The Motorola Devour is now in Verizon Wireless stores for $149.99 on a 2 year contract. We received our unit last week and have had a chance to give it some attention, with a 3.1-inch...

If you are getting this phone just for the Android functionality, you may want to hold out as its still on 1.6 and no updates have been spotted yet. Google Navigation functionality has surprisingly made it on the device, which I love, but you will have...

Verizon Wireless Motorola DEVOUR review

The Motorola DEVOUR, Verizon's third Android phone, brings MOTOBLUR to the nation's top carrier - we see how it stacks up against the rest of the Android army

Price ; Build quality - the slider mechanism and phone as a whole are solid as a rock ; MOTOBLUR is great for social networking addicts ; UI is extremely responsive with barely any lag

Like the DROID, the QWERTY keypad on the DEVOUR simply isn't enjoyable to type on ; Subpar camera ; Old version of Android lacks all the great new features found in version 2.1

Motorola Devour Review

The Devour offers a better keyboard than Motorola's other Android devices, but lags behind them in many other features.

Motorola Devour

At first glance, Motorola's second Android phone on Verizon, the Devour ($150 with a two-year contract from Verizon; price as of 3/3/10) looks a lot like the Droid. But after spending some time with the new model, I realized that it couldn't be more...

Responsive touchscreen ; Solid, slider design

Runs Android OS 1.6 ; Disappointing camera

The Motorola Devour has a solid build and great social networking features, but a few design flaws and a mediocre camera make it no match for the Droid.

Review: Motorola Devour Smartphone

Motorola's latest Android phone (and Sidekick wannabe) leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

Slide-out screen is sturdy, satisfying. Easy aggregation of social networks. Attractive chassis and beautiful build materials

Physical keyboard does not make up for atrocious touchscreen performance. Weakling camera. Good gravy, can someone get a crane to lift this heavy thing

Motorola Devour (Verizon Wireless)

The Motorola Devour brings social networking to the forefront on Verizon Wireless, but it needs a bigger screen to make the most of its abilities.

Great social networking integration. Good keyboard. Feels responsive.

Cramped screen. So-so reception. Various media problems.

Conclusions There's a lot to like about the Motorola Devour. It's good looking, it has a great keyboard, battery life is excellent, and MotoBlur integrates social networking and various e-mail accounts well.

Motorola Devour- silver (Verizon Wireless) review

Motorola rightfully got a lot of mileage when it introduced its Droid smartphone late last year. With a loaded feature set and a satisfying performance, Verizon's first Google Android device was a quality phone in many regards. So can Moto repeat its...

The Motorola Devour has a sturdy design with a functional feature set and a spacious keyboard. It's a good performer, too.

The Motorola Devour runs on Android 1.6, and its display is small for the phone's size. The placement of some controls could be improved, and its camera has few features.

The Motorola Devour is built to last and it delivers on features and performance. We'd make a few usability changes, and we were hoping for more than Android 1.6, but Motorola makes another good Android move.

Motorola Devour
