“The 3.1-inch, HVGA capacitive touchscreen on the Devour looks great, and is very responsive. Colors are sharp and vibrant, and whether I’m reading text or looking at photos, everything is clear… ”

MobileMag reviews the Motorola Devour and writes;
“..If you are getting this phone just for the Android functionality, you may want to hold out as its still on 1.6 and no updates have been spotted yet. Google Navigation functionality has surprisingly made it on the device, which I love, but you will have to download a text-to-speech voice kit from Android Market to get that working. ”

“The Devour is a nice heavy phone, some people might not like that but I do personally. I like phone with some weight to it and the Devour is heavier than most phones out there today, it’s a personal preference thing really. It is well made, I really do like the look, feel and design of it. ”
Mobileburn reviews the Motorola Devour and writes;
“Pros: Solidly built, good industrial design and battery life, robust browser, included navigation. Cons: Very bulky, runs older Android 1.6 OS, UI can feel sluggish”
LaptopMag reviews the Motorola Devour and writes;
“..the Devour is almost the same size (4.6 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches) and weight (6.0 ounces) as the Droid. The Devour has a less severe look, though, with an extruded aluminum finish, more contoured edges, and playful rubber and turquoise accents. Despite the rubber port covers and bumpers, the aluminum build is sexy (kind of like the smart phone equivalent of a MacBook Pro). ”

Phandroid reviews the Motorola Devour and writes;
“The biggest edge the Motorola Devour has in terms of web and media is it comes with Flash Lite, something most other Android phones don’t. This allows animated graphics, inline videos and flash games to be viewed/played directly from inside the Android browser. Beyond this the browser is pretty much stock Android and although confined by a 3.1-inch touchscreen, the web experience is pretty good…”

PCmag previews the Motorola Devour and writes;
“The new phone includes a 3.1-inch capacitive touch screen, and touch-sensitive navigation pad. Slide it up for keyboard access. The phone comes preloaded with apps including Gmail, Google Talk, YouTube, Google Search, and Google Maps. The Android Market will provide access to 20,000 additional apps..”
Slashgear reviews the Motorola Devour and writes;
” The extruded aluminum casing is sturdy and tactile, the side-loading battery compartment not only allows Motorola to keep the frame a single piece but also leaves easier access to the microSD card slot, and the screen section is pleasantly spring-loaded unlike its DROID sibling. Open it up, and the QWERTY keyboard is almost a complete improvement over the DROID; the buttons are hard and slightly domed, easier to press…”

“This phone can pretty much do it all, and I love it. The size is just right for a great grip, and the phone’s aluminum construction looks and feels like a premium product. The capacative touch screen is very responsive, as is the phone itself. Powered by a 600MHz processor, this phone is on par with many other devices in higher price ranges. For instance, the Droid’s CPU is actually 550MHz. MotoBlur is another big plus for this device if you’re into social networking. If not, you don’t have to use the service. Personally, I chose this phone primarily for the excellent design, the Android OS, and the value.”

“The web browser is amazing and I have only been averaging 1-2 bars of service (compared to 4 on my old ENV2 in the same place) but the call quality is flawless and browsing the web is as fast if not faster on the 3G network as when I connect to my home wi-fi. I was going to get the Droid but when I got to the store I liked the keyboard better on this phone. I love that the charger is 2 pieces (like an iPod)…a USB cable and a separate plug so you can charge from either an outlet or a computer..”

“the setup was a breeze. i was up and running in no time. easy to figure out the user interface. i removed some of the icons and added my own. one minor issue, but i figured my way out of it quickly: the pics are uploaded sideways to fb if you take the pic while holding the phone like you would hold a regular camera, if you hold the phone strait up, the pics are awesome. GREAT PHONE!
