I absolutely love it. If it weren’t for Verizon charging outrageous prices for their “smartphone” plans then I would have one; but I already have a 90$ monthly cell phone bill and couldn’t afford to add it. Everyone seems to be dissing the color silver for some reason, on which I don’t particularly understand because almost every phone out there is black, white, or silver. I don’t mind the color as long as the phone does the job. As for the “MotoBlur” I haven’t used it and I have no clue what it’s for. I really like the Devour… I like Motorolla phones they are sturdy and durable. I had my Razr for 4 years before I upgraded! I love Verizon phones. I can’t wait to get my plan lowered so I can get one without paying outrageous plan payments for this device!

I just handled one of these. It has a pleasing heft; it feels more ‘aluminum macbook’ than ‘cheap clock’ as was mentioned earlier. Feels great, but is definitely a blunt object that you could bludgeon with.

I don’t like the name, to be honest. First, “devour” is a verb, and in fact, another word for “eat” (in a voracious manner). So when you refer to the phone as the “Motorola Devour”, you are calling it the “Motorola Eat”. Doesn’t flow. Compare that to when you use a noun (Hero, Droid, Galaxy), or an exclamation (the Bravo) or adjective (the Incredible). Second, the word itself makes me think of monsters ripping into their food. Seems a bit unpleasant in connotation.

I won’t be getting excited for ANY Verizon Android phones until they stop making you buy the $30/month additional data for “smartphone” plan. I realize that even though Android gives every phone smartphone capabilities, in reality phones such as the Devour compete with presently classified “featurephones”, such as the Instinct, Omnia, Envy, etc. Data plans for “featurephones” are only an extra $10/month. Only when Verizon offers one of these plans for an Android phone will I get one.

Is it just me or does the silver make it look even more like a toy than the black version?

I hate the silver. Black looked better. Moto Blur looks like @*#!. I hate bubble text! The screen could be bigger but I will say the layout of the keyboard has potential. I kinda like the little bit of frame on the top and bottom. The biggest problem I have with my droid is that it’s hard to pick it up without hitting something by accident. You get used to it but a little dead space is nice to be able to grab on to. Just put regular Android on it and stop messing up a good thing.

This looks like a nice device to place at the bottom of the Droid line. An Android phone with training wheels for the not as bright. An excellent entry for VZW to try and use to lure away SideKick users from Tmo.

Why aren’t you guys covering all the new Android app releases? Is somebody doing that? I need someone to keep me up to date!

As for this phone, it needs a bigger screen, a new color job, and something more like sense UI-which I’m really digging in an Android phone-to make me want something even close to this. But I suppose it will broaden Android appeal to some folks and expose some who may not have gone for a higher end looking Droid or Eris.

I’m actually more of a Droid Eris fan, becuase it looks slicker and is a tad more user friendly. I personally don’t need a physical keyboard and it even seems a little clunky; Not that I wouldn’t go for one in the future if someone pulls it off superbly, I would like to have a dual system so I could use either.
I would go for an Eris over the Droid except it’s underpowered and no Android 2.0. Oh well I have time, my contract isn’t up for a year and a half so by then I’m sure there will be some sick Android offerings to be had that will put the Droid, and all other current Android devices to shame. Maybe something a little more N1-ish on Verizon…mmmm now my mouth is watering.
