ok… so not tryin to be mean… just when u r reviewing u should look at every angle im not saying one fone is better… just u have to look at everything because when someone listens then finds out something that u didnt tell them they get kinda mad they listened and missed out on something.. trust me it happend to me
k kid..?
ok guy.. well u said the droid had more ram in ur video if u wanna check.. and the devour has an up to date processor… and i would know these things because i work for wirefly. also u should not say the fone is $29 for verizon because the relase date for designated verizon retailers is around march 20th. and u should also mention in ur video that if u get the cheaper deal on the fone.. then the monthly internet cost is much more per month ending up to be more money in the long runn…ok…
Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed comment. You’re mostly right, but the problem is the Devour doesn’t make much sense. Motoblur and a nice case isn’t enough to overcome everything else (like the screen), but of course that’s my opinion.
so i would appreciate it that any one who is interested, especially the create of this video, to read all the comments and especially anyone deciding between the two to read them.. and sorry for posting in increments because there are a limited number of characters. so comment back with what u think any questions and if u need a video response or something i could do that …
thanks
so all in all..the two phones are nearly identical.. with the droid being better response wise and technologically advanced right now, and a better keyboard. while the devour is far better for social networking and not as good technology wise as of right now but will probably eventually be updated when it comes out. since they are so similar it is up to you if u are involved in social networks a lot (email, facebook, twitter… and overall how u like the fone because of how simlar they are
What bias? I don’t own any of these phones nor do I like any of them more than just hands on time.
Right now the Devour is $29 (cheaper than when I did the video) and the Droid is $50. As for a higher internet fee, why would that be?
And also to sum it up between the two fones… the droid has a better all around camera, more responsive touch screen, as of right now better android software, and more stock memory (16 GB while devour is 8 GB stock software), then the devour has motoblur which droid wont get, android 1.6 which will likely be updated to eventually catch up to the droid software when it comes out for verizon toward the end of march, a much better key board, a faster processor, and vcast music and video.
Technically the Devour has a faster processor, but it’s of an older style processor that is slower in real world usage. Not to mention a lot of new things (such as Flash) won’t likely be supported on the Devour because of this.
I never said anything about RAM or upgrading the memory, but there’s no denying between Motoblur (which won’t be updated as often as stock Android) the much smaller, lower res screen and the worse graphics/processor the Droid is more powerful.
Also you shouldnt be bias in ur videos cuz it screws up facts. Also u missed to say that even though if the price on the devour or droid can be for $50, which its not because i have one. But if u get it for cheaper, then u end up paying a higher required monthly interent fee, which ends up costing more in the long run 2 year contract span. Again hope that helps anyone who needs it
hey guy u are very wrong on the Motorola Devour…if u r gonna review a fone get ur facts right. you stated a couple of wrong facts those would be that the devour actually has a faster processor 600 MHz to 550 of the Droid, also it has the exact same amount of rammand both with the ability to umgrade to 32 GB memory. and in time the devour should catch up with the droid in android software. So hope u will respond to this and hope this helps anyone who need the info
samsung moment anyone???
if you dont care about rooting your phone then i say the htc is a reasonable choice but really motorola droid is so much faster
I went back to verizon and just trade for HTC. I was really leaning toward the HTC, but still you have to download app in marketplace for mms save which was free so who cares I have flash. Still great phone
u sure? im able to save attachments on my droid. im not sure if thats stock features though since im running a custom rom
on the contrair it is a more expensive version and a better model.
Moto droid cant forward messages and cant save attatchments? Will it be fixed on update?
The Eris is a cheap version of the hero
Actually, the Droid and the Devour both have 256Mb of RAM as well.
@mejdam Oh wow. Well point made anyway; the Devour is not a lower specced phone all around. The Qualcomm in the Devour can hold its own against any of the higher end devices. Oddly enough, because the Devour also only has to support the HVGA resolution, it is theoretically more capable. Besides that, it does wonders for the battery life.
@lolgina Not true Devour (600 MHz MSM7627), Droid (550 MHz ARM Cortex A8). Stock the devour runs faster
why cant you get a good hardware keyboard on a flagship device? That bums me out.
Why is the Droid so cheap on Amazon?
The Devour uses the same processor as the Droid.
thanks
there not comin out with 4g till 2011 sorry
The Motorola DROID continues to present new possibilities regular. I’ve had it for about 10 months and We have had a Blackberry attached to my system considering that September 1998. Becoming connected is often a important part of my existence so I am often reachable by family members and co-workers. I am a bit addicted to the Industry for DROID Applications. If the device had limitless memory I would test the capacity. I think this OS will be the way from the future and intend to develop with all of you to understand it by means of and through. Thanks to the write-up.
I have had my droid since december but needed to get a alternative as a result of the software program ruined my phone when it up to date itself. So evidently having troubles & discovered this glorious website lol i do have a questio tho…my ram storage is gettin smaller & smaller..is there nethin i can do to assist get sum again?
Utterly understand what your stance in this matter. Even though I might disagree on some of the finer particulars, I believe you do an awesome work explaining it. Positive beats having to investigation it on my own. Many thanks
