Motorola Devour Video Review
You asked for it, and now you’ve got it! The Motorola Devour is the latest Android phone appearing on the Verizon network in the U.S. The Devour has a sliding QWERTY keyboard and a side-mounting battery. Motorola includes its Motoblur technology, a unique social network aggregator, on the phone as well.
The phone owner’s social networks are easily configured for Motoblur, and once that is done, all status updates appear on the home screen in real time. In the video I show how my friend’s Facebook and Twitter updates all pop onto the home screen as they occur. I also show how well the phone performs with all of this activity.
Our in-depth review contains the details and lots of photos of the Devour.

Good video overview James. Motorola has done a great job on the Devour. The price of the Devour should get this mobile phone into the hands of the consumers that weren’t willing to pay for the higher end smartphones. From the video it does a great job with the “MotoBlur” application. I like that you can have real time updates on your home screen whether be Facebook, email, Twitter, Weather, etc… that’s a great feature to have on a smartphone, and be able to customize it to your liking.
