The Motorola Devour shares most of the features of the Motorola CLIQ except the camera, which is downgraded from a competent 5 megapixel unit with autofocus to a terrible 3 MP unit devoid of AF. It's possible to make a reasonable 3 megapixel camera without autofocus - see the Sony Ericsson TM717 (Equinox). So what's wrong here? Beyond looking underexposed, the resulting pictures lack detail and the colors are muted (slide show). I think some of this can be fixed with a firmware update, but I also suspect that the lens is optimized for portraits (i.e. it can only focus on only subjects about 2-3 feet away) . The Devour fares better than the CLIQ for video recording, with 640×480 pixels (VGA resolution) at about 24 fps.
