Verizon Motorola Devour cell phone is just a budget version of the Droid, the Devour looks nice, I am rather impressed that the case is actually aluminum and not silver-colored plastic.

But the screen is too small, no front facing camera, If you like your screens tiny, then fine. I’m not saying that all phones should have real screens. It’s nice to have choice in mobile phones but there may be too many Android phones and operating system versions sharing shelf space. Consumers might feel confused or mislead.

The Verizon Motorola Devour will be available by this month for $99.

Nexus One rocks in to an online shop in the UK, packing serious heat in the pricing department! Play.com, a popular online retailer for music, DVDs, and more recently mobile technology, has a listing for the Google Nexus One – and it’s on there for a hefty £599!

Apparently it’s going to be available from 16th February, which is great – my only issue is the pricing differential. If you work back the currency exchange rate for buying one direct, you’d be coming in at under £400 for sure – which means there is a £200 premium? A bit harsh, if that’s right.

Google’s Nexus One ETF (technically Equipment Recovery Fee) was not only a whopping $350 but also was imposed in ADDITION to T-Mobile’s ETF.

WSJ is reporting they lowered the ETF from $350 to $150 is much more reasonable and I can appreciate the reason for its existence… but I think we’ve got a long way to go in terms of transparency and consumer education with these fees. At least this is a start.
