Verizon and Motorola DEVOUR Lower-Cased Letters with New Android Phone

Following up on the success of the DROID, Motorola and Verizon Wireless have partnered for a second Android-powered smartphone--the DEVOUR--which, like its sibling, has no need for your puny lower-cased letters. If you were watching the Super Bowl earlier this month, you might remember seeing its classy extruded aluminum case being handled by Megan Fox:

The big difference between the DROID and the DEVOUR is that the newbie runs the same social networking-centric MOTOBLUR overlay found on the previously released Motorola CLIQ for T-Mobile, which places updates from Twitter, Facebook and MySpace into customizable bubbles on the home screen so you can easily track your friends and favorite Twitterati. It also runs the Android 1.6 OS underneath MOTOBLUR, rather than the DROID's 2.0 OS feature set that includes the new Google Maps Navigation app with built-in turn-by-turn navigation. Instead, the DEVOUR relies on Verizon's subscription-based VZ Navigator service.

The DEVOUR has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which SlashGear calls "almost a complete improvement over the DROID; the buttons are hard and slightly domed, easier to press than the older phone's flat layout." It also offers a 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen that's complemented by a thumbpad that CNet calls "part physical control and part optical mouse:"

You can use it to select options by pressing down (the control actually moves and you hear a sound), and you can move between home screens and menu selections by swiping your finger over it. It does take some acclimation because of its small size, but we were hooked once we got the hang of it. It's easier to use than a trackball or a toggle.
