Verizon Motorola DEVOUR Review Part 1 – Unboxing and First Impressions

Motorola just released their new phone the Motorola DEVOUR based on the android system with Verizon. This is Motorola’s 2nd android phone after the successful Motorola Droid.

The Motorola DEVOUR is available through Best Buy Mobile Online for $99 with Nationwide Talk or Nationwide Talk & Text plan and a Data Package for smartphones. These plans start at $39.99/month and a $29.99/month extra for the data plan. If you want to wait and get them from your own Verizon store you can put yourself on the list here.

We received a review sample today and I made an unboxing video with my first impressions.

The Motorola DEVOUR has also their own active video tour here showing off all possibilities.
