Motorola Devour: The Droid’s Unappreciated Little Brother

These days, Verizon users are flocking in droves to the Motorola Droid because it is absolutely amazing, and it is one of the best phones on Verizon’s network. However, in their race to have the number one phone on the number one network, most people have completely overlooked an equally excellent phone: The devour. The Motorola Devour has almost the same features as the Droid, and then some. The specs look almost identical: almost same size EVERYTHING, including the camera capabilities and the 3G network. The only point where the Devour trails behind the Droid is in screen size: however, it has a much sleeker and sturdier exterior. Most notable about the Devour is that it combines Google Android 1.6 with MotoBLUR, which puts all the information about each contact on your phone right at your fingertips, as well as combining all of the texting, emails, IMs, and Social Network updates you want right on the main screen. The Devour connects all the information you want and displays it right where you want it, something the regular Droid lacks. Overall, the Devour is a more socially-inclined phone than the Droid, as well as a better connected one. And at $149.99 with mail-in rebate, it undercuts the Droid by $50. So next time you’re at Verizon and you’re looking at the Droid, consider the Devour. It may be the little brother to the Droid, but it is certainly its equal in every way.
