Motorola has announced that the cool DEVOUR slider phone will be landing on the Verizon Wireless network. The handset is the first Motorola device for Verizon to feature MOTOBLUR, the company’s Android social networking aggregator service. Packing a slider form-factor similar to the DROID, the DEVOUR has a smaller 3.1-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen along with a hardware QWERTY keyboard, 3-megapixel autofocus camera and EVDO Rev.A.
The handset also has a touch sensitive navigation pad and is preloaded with Google applications like Gmail, Google Talk, and more. The phone will ship with an 8GB microSD card installed and supports Bluetooth a2DP, HID, HSP, HFP, AVRCP, and GAP profiles.
The DEVOUR will also ship with Google Maps Navigation installed and ready to use, rather than Google Maps Navigation. That’s because Motorola’s software engineers obviously haven’t got their act together quite yet, as the DEVOUR runs Android 1.6 rather than 2.1; we’re guessing it’s the fault of MOTOBLUR. Still, you do get AGPS, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone socket, DLNA support and a dual-microphone speakerphone with noise cancelation.
There’s also Exchange account support, a microUSB port and an aluminum casing. The Motorola DEVOUR will arrive on Verizon Wireless come March 2010; no word on handset pricing as yet, but Verizon voice and text plans for the smartphone will start at $39.99 and the data package is $29.99 a month for unlimited access.
