We were pretty accurate when we said that “any day now” we’d get something official about the Devour. Motorola has just announced the first Verizon handset to feature MOTOBLUR. Based on Android 1.6, the Devour was expected in the first quarter of 2010.
Assuming you might be new to Android or what MOTOBLUR is, here’s a quick recap of its features and benefits. The custom user experience from Motorola syncs contacts from all your favorite services including Gmail, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Keep up to date with posts, status updates, and pictures all in one place!
MOTOBLUR also makes it possible to remotely wipe your Devour should it be stolen, so your information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. The built-in GPS allows users to locate their phone on a map should they simply misplace it.
Looking through the full list of specs, they match up to what was previously leaked. The Devour is not a powerhouse worthy of Nexus One or Droid comparisons, but with MOTOBLUR, the touch-sensitive navigation pad, and a slide-out QWERTY, it offers something new to Verizon customers.
