Motorola Devour – A Fashion-forward Social Media Phone

The Motorola Devour shares a similar side-slider design with another Android handset of the family, the DROID. At 5.89 ounces and measuring 2.4" high by 4.5" wide by 0.6" deep, it is heavier and bulkier than many smartphones on the market, but its sturdy and sleek aluminum construction explains a lot.
As mentioned, the phone boasts a 3.1-inch HVGA (320 x 480 pixels) touch-sensitive display embedded with an accelerometer and a proximity sensor. It offers a virtual keyboard, a bonus to the physical slide-out one. Multi-touch support is also onboard for double tap.
With MotoBlur, the Devour syncs Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, gathering all messages, posts and pictures to its customizable home screens. You can customize up to five home screens by dragging and dropping shortcuts, which can be downloaded from the Android Market. The interface also provides weather and news widgets to keep you up to date.
For communication options, apart from Gmail, POP3, IMAP4 and corporate email, others include text and multimedia messaging, plus IM support for AIM, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk. All your texts, personal and work emails, and direct messages are brought together in one handy universal in-box.
Running Google’s operating system, the Devour also offers an array of services like Google Talk, Google search, and Google maps with Street View for turn-by-turn directions. Verizon also added applications like VZ Navigator GPS service, V CAST Video and V CAST Music with Rhapsody.
The device itself is full of useful features: a 3.2-megapixel camera with continuous zoom and video capturing abilities, 3.5mm headset jack, music player, full HTML browser with Flash Lite, built-in compass, Microsoft QuickOffice, visual voice mail, speaker-independent voice commands, 3G network, Wi-Fi connectivity and stereo Bluetooth. It comes with about 224MB of user memory, while allowing memory expansion with a microSD card up to 32GB.
The Motorola Devour prides itself on its versatility, sturdiness and the ability to offer superior social networking experience. It is a solid mid-range messaging device for Verizon’s social networkers.
