MOTOBLUR

You probably heard about Oprah giving away a trip to Australia to her audience members on the 25th season premiere of The Oprah Winfrey Show. But did you hear about the new smartphone announced by Motorola? The Motorola DEFY was unveiled on the show. Enhanced with MOTOBLUR, this slim smartphone is powered by Android and features a 3.7-inch high-resolution scratch-resistant touch screen display, 5-megapixel camera with flash, digital zoom and auto focus, and is both dust and water-resistant.

A T-Mobile exclusive, the Motorola DEFY with MOTOBLUR is expected to be available in time for the holidays. Pricing has not yet been announced.Read more

The Motorola DEVOUR will be hitting stores on February 25th, but if you want to reserve yours ahead of time, head on over to your local Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile store.

The company just announced an in-store pre-sale of the device…there is one catch though, you have to purchase a $50 Best Buy Gift Card in order to reserve your DEVOUR. On the positive side, you won't have to deal with the hassle of a mail-in rebate. Best Buy will be offering instant savings at the point of purchase. The question is: exactly how much will the DEVOUR cost? That, we don't know yet.

"Being one of the first retailers to feature the Motorola DEVOUR is a win-win for Best Buy Mobile and our valued customers," said Scott Moore, VP of marketing for Best Buy Mobile. "We saw great response with the DROID by Motorola, the first Android device for Verizon Wireless, and we expect the same response with the Motorola DEVOUR. Our employees get really excited for these big smartphone launches and we are looking forward to helping bring the Motorola DEVOUR to the marketplace."

Motorola and Verizon this week announced DEVOUR, Verizon's first device with MOTOBLUR, Motorola's Android-powered content delivery service.

With MOTOBLUR, you don't need to open or log into new apps or sites to stay in the loop. The Happenings widget delivers friend-feeds, status updates, wall posts and photo uploads from social media sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, and the Universal Inbox gathers texts, messages and emails – and places them all on the home screen.

DEVOUR features a 3.1" touch screen display, a slide-out QWERTY keypad, 8 GB microSD card, 3 megapixel camera, video capture and playback, a 3.5mm headset jack, stereo Bluetooth and comes pre-loaded with apps such as Gmail, Google Talk, YouTube, Google Search and Google Maps with Google Maps Navigation.
