Motorola Devour Cell Phone Review

Conclusions

The Devour is the first phone that we reviewed that brought out our strongest emotions. There were things that we loved and things that we hated. We loved the sturdy casing, the good call quality, and the MotoBlur social networking consolidation. We also loved the keyboard. However, we hated the Devour’s lag time and its occasional crashes. We also hated the fact that the screen was so small.

With a faster processor, a larger screen, and Android 2.0, the Devour could be a great phone. Without those, it is only mediocre. That said — if you can live with the drawbacks and are really into social networking, the Devour is worth a look.
