I’ve spent a few hours this morning and last night reading about the Motorola Devour (Verizon phone) and have even watched a few video reviews. My initial reaction to the phone was mixed. Some reviews were totally scathing and made the Devour seem like an oversized hunk of metal with no redeeming qualities except for, you guessed it, sturdy design.
Other reviews, like this one at tech blog JKontherun, said the phone was another step in the right direction for Android phones. It never ceases to amaze me how different people’s reactions to cell phone are. It’s crazy how some people fall in love with a phone and how others are almost disgusted by the very same model.
Much like the annoying Mac vs PC thing that people suffer from, people are always going to infuse their strong opinions based on personal experience and preference into their cell phone reviews. This is exactly what’s happening with the Devour.
In the Wired review of the Motorola Devour I reference above, the author complains about the build up of finger grease on the touch screen, a criticism I haven’t heard elsewhere or haven’t seen on extensive videos of the Devour.
Generally a greasy touchscreen results from greasy fingers. Every touchscreen is like that! Maybe you shouldn’t be eating fried chicken while doing your cell phone reviews?
In looking for information about the Motorola Devour, I also found perhaps the best deal out there anywhere (in stores or online) at Wirefly. First, I checked out LetsTalk and found the phone on sale for $49.99 with a new Verizon plan. It’s the same price on Amazon.com (click to see it here). I also scanned ebay for steals on this phone, but found none.
But at Wirefly.com, the Motorola Devour is $29.99 with a new Verizon Wireless plan. This is the best deal out there for this phone that I can find.
