For all of our U.S. based readers, Verizon launched the Motorola Devour last month and has already introduced an update for the system software. It's not a major upgrade, but it makes many improvements to the Android OS-based smartphone.



According to the official description, the most significant changes in firmware 1.15.08P are:

  • Improved response time when Menu, Home and Back keys are pressed.
  • Stability improvements to the web browser, contacts and V CAST Music with Rhapsody applications.
  • Multiple enhancements to incoming call performance.
  • Fixed Exchange ActiveSync Calendar agenda view to display meeting titles.
  • Overall improvements to ringer, voice dialing application and multimedia audio when using a headset.


In addition, the update brings slightly newer versions of the Google applications that are bundled with the smartphone.

Motorola Devour for VerizonUpdate Going Out Now
Verizon is sending the new version of the Motorola Devour's system software out over the next few days. When it arrives on each device it will be automatically downloaded and the user will be asked to install it.

Devour users who don't want to wait have the option to manually download it. To do so, go to Menu > Settings > About phone > System update and then follow the screen prompts.
