It's not our favorite keyboard but it's better than the Droid's. The keyboard is a short travel model but the keys are large and well-separated. The phone has the usual creature comforts including a proximity sensor and accelerometer (you can also slide open the keyboard to switch to landscape mode). The slider is solid and locks into position when fully open or closed. The smartphone reminds us of a cross between the Droid and the Sony Vaio UX180 micro PC, which used a very similar wrap-around slider a few years back. It's a bit plain and the large bezel around the 3.1" capacitive display makes it look a tad old-fashioned. The design is industrial and modern, but we wouldn't call this a sexy phone. The casing is made of aluminum so it looks less cheap than the tres plastic Cliq. The Devour is a solid and relatively heavy phone at 5.89 ounces. The good part is that you can see your friends' Twitter status updates in their address book entry, but the bad part is that you'll get address book entries for everyone you follow by default.

When you tweet, you can send the same update to other supported social networks if you like and your social network friends are integrated into the address book (I found that Twitter linked into the address book but Facebook didn't). These widgets don't give you the deep experience of dedicated apps but they're good for updating your status and seeing the newest updates from your friends. Fortunately, the Devour has 5 screens, so there's plenty of room for all the social widgets.

These accounts integrate seamlessly into the MOTOBLUR-customized Android OS, and you decide which accounts you want and whether you want to show their desktop widgets. The Devour runs Android 1.6 Donut, while the Droid runs 2.0, but the Devour adds MOTOBLUR for you social mavens.Īs we said in our Motorola Cliq review (Moto's first MOTOBLUR Android smartphone), MOTOBLUR keeps you up to date with your friends and colleagues via the top social networks (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, email, LastFM, Picasa, Photobucket, Yahoo mail, IM and SMS) at the expense of a very busy home screen and diminished battery life. 480 x 854 and a a 3 megapixel fixed focus camera vs. But the price is lower ($50 less when buying direct from Verizon) and a few specs are weaker: HVGA 320 x 480 display vs. The Devour is actually no smaller than the Droid, in fact it's thicker. Now the Moto Droid has a little brother on Verizon, the Devour. What's not: Overshadowed by the Motorola Droid. What's hot: Solid build, good call quality, great for social networking.
