Calling all social media junkies looking for a easier way to stay connected and a new phone!   Today Motorola and Verizon introduced the Motorola DEVOUR,  Verizon’s  first phone with MOTOBLUR to be release in March 2010. MOTOBLUR is Motorola’s Android-powered content delivery service that is designed to make phones more social media smart and personal with a customizable home screen.  See Press Release here and below are the product specs.  Needless to say after previously reviewing one of Moto’s phones, the Rival,  I am interested and hope Motorola sends me the Devour to review.  

Key features:

• Touch-sensitive navigation pad
• 3.1” capacitive touch screen
• Pre-loaded applications such as Gmail, Google Talk™, YouTube™, Google Search™ and Google Maps™ with Google Maps Navigation.
• Android Market™ gives users access to more than 20,000 applications.
• Happenings Widget – MOTOBLUR automatically pushes status updates, wall posts and photo updates from popular social networking sites to the Happenings Widget on the home screen. Customers can flick through the latest updates and fire back responses using the slide-out full QWERTY keyboard.
• Universal Inbox – MOTOBLUR gathers texts, social network messages and e-mails into one home screen widget for quick response.
• Back-Up and Security – Contacts, log-in information, home screen customizations, e-mail and social network messages are backed up automatically on the secure MOTOBLUR portal. The portal also allows customers to use the phone’s fully integrated aGPS to help locate the phone if misplaced. Remote wipe easily clears information from a lost device.
• 8 GB microSD™ card pre-installed
• Bluetooth® profiles supported: A2DP, HID, HSP, HFP, AVRCP and GAP

Cross your fingers I get to test this product and let you cutegeek fans know more about this product!

Motorola recently sent me a sample of the Motorola Endeavor HX1 bluetooth headset to test out. I have never been one of “those” people that walk around all day with their bluetooth in their ears regardless if they are on the phone or not.  I secretly believe these people either think they are (A) important or (B) cool.  Let me just inform you that if you are indeed that person you are neither.

UNLESS you have a Motorola Endeavor HX1 that is.

That’s right I have now become that annoying person in the line at the grocery store or that person eating alone but chatting on the phone with her little headset in. I do however take it off when I am not on the phone.  I may be a tech geek but I do draw the line when it comes to fashion.

What is the Endeavor  beside a really cool name and bluetooth headset? First off it has Crystal Talk which cancels out everyday noise. How many times is your blue tooth cutting out or not loud enough for you to carry a conversation.  If this is you my friend you will be VERY impressed with the Endeavor. At first I thought the whole in ear headset was a bit intrusive (we all know my small ear canal issue after my AKG ear buds review) however after using it I disagree with myself (is that possible?) because it makes for a crystal clear conversation.

I have used it in the car with my windows down, on the BART, walking the dog (not the dance move), while cleaning and cooking the condo.  The sound quality and noise cancelation are AMAZING! Be still my heart Motorola you have made a product I hope I never end up breaking.  Another cool feature is that it can hook up to numerous devices at once with the EasyPair function. When I was pairing the Motorola Rival and My IPAQ together with the Endeavor  I got a voice prompt in my ear saying:

“Connected to Phone one…”

“Connected to Phone two…”

“Battery life high…”

Damn I thought to myself…this little guy is so smart! Immediately I went around trying to find other things to hook it up to (yes I know I am a huge nerd). Secondly I wondered can get Snoop Dogg’s voice on it instead!

The Endeavor  is by far my favorite toy to bust out and brag about at social gatherings (in total geek fashion). Frankly its so small that every time I use it people do not realize I am on the phone. Remember in Zoolander the itty bity phone Ben Stiller used? I swear the Endeavor is smaller and cooler plus well powered with 7 hours of battery life. Below are the specs and though the price point is a bit high I think its worth the purchase especially for those that commute to work and want to be on the phone as well.

 Motorola Endeavor HX1  is available at the Moto store for 159.99 and Sprint  for $129.99.  Also a lovely tid bit about this device; the technology is actually used by miltary forces.  Bravo Motorola!
