Verizon Wireless has announced the Motorola Devour just today. It will be hitting the network next month, and it will be the first VZW phone to feature “Motoblur”. It has a 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, a trackpad, a pre-installed 8GB microSD card, and it does include Bluetooth support.
There isn’t any mention regarding multi-touch on this phone, but be aware that Google is rolling out an update for its Nexus One which will include multitouch, so there might be a chance we can see multitouch on this phone, as well as other Android multitouch capable devices.
