Pretty cool device!
Has a trackpad like the new BlackBerry devices....
Seems alot sleeker than the Droid.

Anyone else seen it in the wild yet??

Motoblur is a skin for the android OS and there is no phone for Verizon released with it yet. The Motorola Calgary is supposed to be released for Verizon with Motoblur though. The Calgary may be the phone you're describing because it's also supposed to have an optical trackpad.

This was a new phone. In field testing at Verizon. It was branded Blur (even the start up screen)....

The one I played with was silver though...

[andrew23215#AC]

Oh the Devour? Calgary was its codename for a while.

It's the Blur now.... Never played with an Android device before.
Compared my friends Blur with his Droid. Blur was better!
Being a BB freak I liked the trackpad. It's the same size as my 9700...

ugly...............

[Adrynalyne]

Cluttered.

[bucky716]

Looks small.

The keyboard looks nice and big, until you compare it to the screensize Look at how much real estate that glossy black border with the touch keys is taking. And then there is only three *seen* touch keys on the bottom that aren't centered...whats up with that.

My droid isn't exactly a good looking phone, but that thing is pure horrid.

[avt123]

The Devour is not a better device. It is a lower end Android device. The Droid is still king for now on Verizon.

I personally don't like the Motoblur skin. I think it is way to cluttered and I am not huge into social networking.

[Adrynalyne]

Same thing for me. I'd perform seppaku if I had to use an interface like that.

And then there is only three *seen* touch keys on the bottom that aren't centered...whats up with that.

If I had to guess, it's "open" next to the touchpad because it would make inadvertent presses on any adjacent soft keys too easy/frustrating.

Thats kinda what I was thinking.

Does anyone know if the motoblur skin is as customizable as on the Droid now? I'm thinking if it isn't, the button that is missing is the search button, so maybe you have to actually use the google search widget on the screen instead of just the key?

Looks too small for me. I havn't heard anything from corporate here at VZW yet on these new devices but I'm sure we'll hear something soon. I'm kinda looking forward to the Pre and the Pixi, just to see if Palm is trying to step it up a little.

[Adrynalyne]

Well, I kind of get an idea why they did it, but it looks like ****.

[Guyton101]

looks cheap

[imiller]

I don't really like the look

[moneymatt]

It's another cheaper alternative to the Droid-

Looks like a superior keyboard, less screen real-estate, and guaranteed Android reliability and functionality.. While I wouldn't trade in my droid for it, I'm its a great value option for millions.. especially if its on verizon!

and i agree with those that its not so pretty.. :P

I think that was a design decision.. Under what would have been the fourth left touch-key is a trackpad.. If there was a touchkey there, you'd always be smacking it by mistake when using the trackpad.

I don't know about that trackpad action.. have to try first.

I agreee it was a design decision, just not very aesthetically pleasing. It could have been done better, imo.
