This is the promotions pack being sent to Verizon stores box for the Motorola Android Devour (aka the Calgary), which we’re going to see on Verizon any time now. MotoBLUR gets top billing here, with “Live life for the Story” the Moto motto.

Still no word on when you’ll be able to pick one up, but it’s got to be soon at this point.

New four videos showing every aspect of the Opus One (albeit in dark, grainy focus) have been leaked. The Opus One will be running MOTOBLUR (which means it gets outdated 1.5) is now confirmed as being iDen enabled (which would make it the first Android iDen device). Its also sporting a 5MP camera and and push to talk (which is why it might be headed to Boost).

Motorola Droid Software Update 2.0.1 Is A Winner

Here is a highlight of a review of the new 2.0.1 Motorola Android software version from Information Week:
he update process was extremely quick. Upon booting the device, I received a notification that there was an update available. I accepted the update, which then automatically downloaded, installed, and re-booted the device. The entire experience took perhaps three minutes. Nice.

I noticed immediately that the Droid is faster. Swiping from side-to-side to access the three different home screens was much smoother, with no stuttering. The motions were fluid and looked good. The main menu itself also experienced less stuttering. Swiping up and down to get at all the applications was easy and not herky-jerky as before.

Of course, the main fix is the camera. The camera boots in about 3 seconds now (not bad, but not stellar). Taking pictures has been greatly improved. The camera focuses faster, snaps the picture faster, and processes/saves the image faster. In other words, the camera is actually usable now. Before, it wasn’t. This is a very welcome change indeed.

It is too early for me to comment meaningfully on the supposed battery life improvements, but Verizon says it should perform better.

Motorola Motus is Motorola Backflip?

The Motorola Motus we’ve been hearing about lately might just be renamed the Motorola Backflip – the company recently trademarked the name and with the form factor we’ve been shown, it would make sense. And the leaked specs of the Motus include a “reverse flip keyboard” and “rear directional touchpad”. Yeah… Backflip it is.
