The Motorola Devour – previously known as the Calgary – is reportedly coming to Verizon in the next few months. This Android-based Smartphone will have a shape somewhat similar to the Droid, but without many of the high-end features.

According to the latest unconfirmed information, the Devour will debut with Android OS 2.1, an upcoming version of Google’s mobile operating system.

On top of this will supposedly be Blur, Motorola’s software that gives easy access to consumer and business e-mail accounts, as well as social-networking services like Facebook and Twitter.

On this device’s front, next to the touchscreen, will be three touch-sensitive buttons and an optical trackpad, rather than a trackball or D-pad.

Features

Qualcomm MSM7627 processor
Two ARM cores worked into a single chip. One core is a 600 MHz application CPU, and the other is a 400 MHz dedicated modem processor.
3.1″ capacitive touchscreen
512 MB of flash ROM
256 MB of RAM
3 MP camera
Android 1.6.

and many more

Exactly when Verizon is going to release the Motorola Devour is unknown, though it’s expected to happen in the next few months.

Aside from the expectation that it will almost certainly cost less than the Motorola Droid, but it will likely sell for $99 with a contract (Pixi pricing).
