Motorola Devour (A555)

The Schaumburg, Ill.-based company said the Devour is the first Verizon handset to include "MotoBlur" -- a feature that syncs in-phone data with posts, messages and photos from Facebook, MySpace and Twitter -- all viewable from the home screen.

Running Android, the smartphone includes Google services such as Search and Gmail, Calendar, Maps with Street View for turn-by-turn directions and Android Market to download additional apps.

It also has a large 3.1-inch capacitive touch screen with navigation pad, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and high-speed Internet and Wi-Fi.

Facing tough competition from Apple and Research in Motion in recent years, Motorola is now beginning to show some signs of life after reorganizing its handset unit -- which it intends to spin off in the future -- around Google's new Android operating system.

Motorola co-chief executive Sanjay Jha has been aggressively expanding its portfolio of smartphones, announcing efforts to release over 20 models this year, including an Android device sold directly to buyers on its Web site -- a distribution method Google said it would use for its Nexus One device.

Motorola did not announce a price but said the Devour will hit Verizon stores in March.
