Review: Motorola Devour

Form Basics Extras Video Wrap-Up Comments 62

Though the Motorola Devour clearly prefers Google's own services to the alternatives, the phone has a wide range of messaging options. For email, you get an inbox for Gmail, which has more advanced features for Gmail's labeling and threaded conversations. You also get an inbox that brings together every other email account, like your POP or IMAP mail account or your corporate Exchange account. The Devour had no trouble displaying HTML emails or email attachments, especially office documents using the included QuickOffice suite.

The Motorola Devour also has a unified inbox for all your social networking sites. You can read and send Facebook messages and Twitter DMs without opening their respective apps. All of these different email options may seem confusing, but the Motoblur interface on the Devour does a nice job walking you through which service you're sending from, and to which contact you're sending a message.

Text messaging was also easy on the Motorola Devour. The text messaging inbox gets a slick, threaded look so all your messages with a contact appear as one long chat conversation. It's easy to insert pictures, sounds and even videos directly into your text messaging chat. You can insert multimedia from the text messaging inbox, or you can tap on a picture in the photo gallery to send it using any of the messaging features the Devour has on board.
