Motorola Devour Video Review

[cereal killer]

Rob over at phandroid has just reviewed the Motorola Devour.

For those who may not been following this release it will be running Android 1.6 w/MOTOBLUR.

Living up to Motorolas great build quality the Devour will not disappoint.

He described the Devour as ...." heavy. It was sturdy. It screamed “tough” and wanted to be its own man phone. The aluminum body with black, ruggedized rubber contributed to the look and feel and honestly it seems like the most solid Android phone out there."

Ah... Motorola at their finest... Yet another great example of how they went from being one of the top cell phone manufacturers to being on their way out... Don't get me wrong I love my Droid but there's a reason it's my first Moto device in over 6 yrs and likely my last.

Edit:
Though it would be nice if the chefs and pull the Flash lite from the ROM and implement it in their ROMs.

I actually think the device will make for a good consumer device.

It will be a hit with the LG crowd and people looking for a good "social" device. There is a definite market for this phone. I'm going to predict that it will be a VERY good seller for VZW.

I actually think this phone and the cliq are nice phones

Still seems like a "chick" phone....meaning, I'm probably buying this for my wife... <3

I played with one at work when we got them for sale. I liked the feel of the phone and the keyboard very much. Still like the droid system much better as I don't do much with the social side of the phone.

That was my thought as well, but then given the size, weight and feel of the device I doubt most women will like it... (again, hats off to Moto for their schizophrenic desgin(s)...).

Only market I could see this being a hit with is teens/college students. The social aspect will be right for that group and the extra size/weight of the build might make it stand up to the abuse a bit better. (and yes, I consider teens and fresh/soph college students the same 'group')

Why the emphasis of the commenters on the social aspect? This phone doesn't do social networks any better (or worse) than any smart phone.

totally agree...but thats how it's being marketed to the consumer.
