Digital Trends‘s review Edit

The Devour offers a better keyboard than Motorola’s other Android devices, but lags behind them in many other features.

Engadget‘s review Edit

There's really nothing to this phone outside its keyboard and a slightly superior build quality (at expense of aesthetic) that commends it over the Droid. Given the fact that both devices are going for the same price at Best Buy right now ($99 a pop), we'd say the answer is pretty simple.

hardwaresecrets‘s review Edit

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.

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

Motorola's latest Android phone for Verizon upgrades the Droid's keyboard, but downgrades the processor and screen. We say get a Droid instead.

MobileCrunch‘s review Edit

The Devour is a fashion-forward social media phone. The Droid is a “geek” phone or, if you like, an app phone. Granted, these phones are essentially the same. However, the Devour is clearly aimed at a less geeky consumer.

LAPTOP Magazine‘s review Edit

Sporting a social networking-friendly interface and a better keyboard than the Droid, the Devour is a good value.

phonedog‘s review Edit

The Motorola Devour is a decent mid-level Android device that is a welcome addition to the Verizon lineup. It's a bit pricey in the $99-$149 range, leading me to believe that customers will (and should) opt for the DROID instead.

mobiledia‘s review Edit

The Devour is a good or bad messaging and social networking phone, depending on who's judging it, but it's definitely quick and offers a quality Web experience. But a different look and more free entertainment offerings, plus an upgrade from the Android 1.6 system would be a plus in any future versions.

brighthand‘s review Edit

The Motorola Devour, Verizon's third Android OS smartphone, is a mid-range device with a sliding keyboard. It includes MotoBlur, software that displays messages from Facebook, Twitter and email together on the home screen.

Phone Scoop‘s review Edit

Is the Motorola Devour the Droid's little sister, or is it a social butterfly all its own? Phone Scoop takes a longer look at this intriguing aluminum Android device, running Motorola's Motoblur interface.

The Motorola DEVOUR is a QWERTY slider Android smartphone for Verizon Wireless that packs Moto's MOTOBLUR social networking features for tight homescreen integration of Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace.

PC World‘s review Edit

The Motorola Devour has a solid build and great social networking features, but a few design flaws and a mediocre camera make it no match for the Droid.

Phone Arena‘s review Edit

The Motorola DEVOUR A555 is now the third Android smartphone to be released by Verizon Wireless after the Motorola DROID and HTC DROID ERIS, but it is the first from the carrier to feature the MOTOBLUR user interface, which integrates social networking, email, and messaging directly on the desktop, though it still runs on Android 1.6 OS...

SlashGear‘s review Edit

Ironically it’s turned off that the DEVOUR makes the best impression. The extruded aluminum casing is sturdy and tactile, the side-loading battery compartment not only allows Motorola to keep the frame a single piece but also leaves easier access to the microSD card slot, and the screen section is pleasantly spring-loaded unlike its DROID sibling. Open it up, and the QWERTY keyboard is almost a complete improvement over the DROID; the buttons are hard and slightly domed, easier to press than the older phone’s flat layout, and only the spacebar inserted into the bottom letter row frustrates.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

The Motorola Devour is built to last and it delivers on features and performance. We'd make a few usability changes, and we were hoping for more than Android 1.6, but Moto makes another good Android move.
