Not to be outdone by it’s larger cousins, the Motorola Devour has been rooted. Using some bits and pieces from the Droid X root method, some files scoured from the web, and some good old fashioned determination, Android Central forums user bitswi…

Motorola just added a slew of new non-U.S. phones to its Android 2.1 update list (see the previous update), including a bunch of Backflips and Quenches. Doesn’t really give us a better idea of when the new software will actually be available, but it’s good to see Moto at least trying to be transparent about it. That said, it’d be great if we’d see some Android 2.2 update schedules popping up, m’kay? [Motorola] Thanks, Jake!

Word on the street is that Verizon’s Motorola Devour is in line for a maintenance upgrade on Monday. No, it’s not Android 2.1 or anything as sexy as that (the 2.1 update is still "under evaluation"). But here’s what you are getting:
So, look for the update — version CALAND_X_01.15.08P, if you’re keeping track — next week. And be sure to let us know if it makes your life any easier. Thanks, anon!
Loyal reader Tom Cochrane reminded us on Twitter that Motorola has a status board for its Android 2.1 roll-out. And above is where we stand as of today. If you’re rocking the Milestone, updates are either in progress or should be coming in the few months or so. Same goes in the U.S. for the Backflip, Cliq and Cliq XT. Hang in there, folks. [Motorola] (And thanks, Tom.)
There you go, folks. If you were holding out for Verizon to officially launch its NFL service, it’s now available. All you have to do is text NFL to 8915 or go to VerizonWireless.com/nfl, and you can snag the official app.
The Motorola Devour (video hands-on) came at a tough point in the smartphone world. It’s the first Android device from Moto and Verizon to come after the wildly popular Droid. And while we pretty much knew from the get-go that we weren’t looking at a Droid 2 — the smaller screen was an early giveaway — that didn’t really seem to lower expectations. In some ways, Moto met them. In others, not so much.
So join us after the break as we take a look at the Motorola Devour and find its place in the Android lineup.
In one of the grandest smartphone news events that nobody saw, Motorola today launched OCNN — the Ocho Cinco News Network — all Chad Johnson (we don’t care what he changed his name to) all the time. So when the million-follower Twitterer (hey, that’s what they said, never mind it’s only 826,000) is tweeting platitudes, what he had for breakfast, or how he’s planning on actually contributing to the Bengals this season, know that he’s doing it with the Motorola Devour, Motoblur and, under the hood, Android.
And so, we were one of the 113 people watching the live "news" conference. And we’re now contributing to the delusion of a so-so football player efforts of a start athlete to spread the value of social networking — and, by proxy, Android — and … and …
We’re sorry, folks. Really, we are. (Erm, and if you’re an 85 fan, go ahead and check it out, we suppose.)
You’ve actually been able to buy the Motorola Devour for a while now (watch our hands-on), just not from Verizon. That’s changed, and you can order it for $149 with the standard two-year contact and what-not. Or you can find it cheaper elsewhere. Your call. [Verizon]
