Pros

  • Motoblur very functional
  • Consolidated or separated messaging
  • Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
  • Multi-Touch screen
  • Decent battery life for light users
  • Never froze or bogged down

Cons

  • Awkward in your hand
  • Price is too close to much more capable phones
  • Screen still slightly in the way of top QWERTY row
  • Unacceptable battery life for moderate to heavy users
  • Screen could be larger

The Bottom Line
While this phone did all I asked it to, I did not ask that much of it. And I am certain that I would spend a few extra bucks to get a much more capable phone, like the HTC Incredible.

Motorola is marketing the Devour as a less-expensive alternative to it’s big brother, the Droid. It has lower camera resolution, no flash, a smaller display, and less memory.

The Devour does have the pull-out keyboard, which is a plus for those who don’t using a touch screen for typing.

Pros
Faster, AWESOME pictures, prosumer features.

The Bottom Line
If you want quality professional images with the ease of use of a consumer camera, then this is your ticket. The competition has once again been one-upped!
