Motorola DEVOUR Specs

so back when i was in 9th grade, My dad bought me this phone at first i loved it until it started acting weird. it wouldn't go to the home screen at all. i went to verizon 3 times and explained the issue with them, they said, " it was the battery." which it wasn't, as a matter of fact. it was the wiring that fried the circuitry of the phone.

The build quality of the phone is great. It is all made with this sturdy aluminum that can take any fall, I also like that it had a battery opener on the side. The reception on the phone is alright. It fluctuates way too much and sometimes drops down to 1x even if I'm in a 3g area. The call quality is a little better than bad. Everything is real clear and crisp if your in a quiet room, but when a noisy you cant hear anything even with the volume on max. The internet on the phone is straight out bad. It lack full flash support, to zoom in you have to do by a little icon which means no multi touch, the pages render slowly, and it's really laggy with it's movement. The multimedia is alright, my only complaint is that in force closes on many apps and doesn't use any apps that don't support android 1.6. The camera on the phone is really horrid. The shots has really bad light balance and the shots come out really grainy. It also takes a good 3 seconds to take the whole shoot. The U.I speed is descent. It lags a little but not as extensively that your not even able to use it. The text input is very good because of the keyboard. The on screen keyboards are really laggy and doesn't hit the letter your finger is pressing on. The display is actually really pleasant in my opinion. It has really good brightness and everything looks nice and crisp. The battery life on the phone is really bad. It dies really quick with heavy usage and your lucky if can even get through half of the day with the phone.

This phone has brought nothing but pure stress to my life. For the first month or so this phone worked fine, an occasional glitch, but not a big deal. Then one day it started to freeze, shut down anytime I would set an alarm, calendar event, or set it down wrong. Another thing that it started doing was, it would randomly not receive text messages. I would then force the phone to shut down, by removing the battery, and then start it back up (which took a while) and then I would have about 16 missed text messages. There was another occasion where the SD card was in place, and the phone was working fine, and then I went to make a call and I had zero contacts, the phone had just deleted them all. I shut the phone down, let it sit for about 5 minutes, restarted it, and then all my contacts were back.

The phone is sturdy though, and can handle being dropped, and the keyboard is very nice. The phone sounds like a good idea, but then once you start using it you realize what a mistake it was.

I also live in an area of very very poor cell phone reception, for any service, and this phone always managed to get at least a bar, so it has great reception. The internet on this phone though is VERY slow, and it takes a while for it to start up.

I personally do not like this phone because I text often, and I use the internet just as often. I need a phone that will be reliable to keep up with what I do, and this phone is just not doing it for me.
