Motorola Devour
What Rocks: The Motorola Devour is sturdy with practical features and a spacious keyboard for those with meat hooks for fingers. Thanks to Android platform, it operates as smooth as butter also.
What Bites: Despite coming equipped with Android, it’s running one of the quirkiest versions - 1.6. Some of the controls could be improved, and like many super phones…it’s lacking in the camera department.
The Skinny: The Motorola Devour is a solid phone made to impress with its features and performance. It could use some usability changes, and more than Android 1.6, but overall Moto makes another smart move.
Google Nexus
What Rocks: Visuals. Nexus One has a mesmerizing display, a processor that delivers info like a bolt of lightning, and is one loaded baked potato when it comes to features. The voice capabilities worked perfectly and left a lasting impression.
What Bites: The Nexus One wastes storage by making you place apps on internal memory like most Android phones. Bluetooth features are lacking, particularly hands-free dialing. Currently, Outlook Calendar syncing is not available either.
The Skinny: Despite a few flaws, the Nexus One overall adds panache to the Google Android family with a swift processor, excellent call clarity, and solid voice control features.
Palm Pre Plus
What Rocks: The Palm Pre Plus has double the storage capacity and double the RAM of its predecessor. It has an inductive back cover for nifty Touchstone charging and has an improved QWERTY keyboard for workaholics on the go!
What Bites: Better hope your hearing isn’t shot, cause the speakerphone volume is way too soft. Despite being a smartphone, it doesn’t have support for V-Cast Music or Video.
The Skinny: The Palm Pre Plus definitely gets a trophy for its WebOS device, with improvements in design and performance, and upgraded features. If you are looking for a balanced smartphone to have some Facebook fun and still get some work done, look no further.
