Motorola's CLIQ Android Phone Makes Social Networking a Breeze
Much like Palm OS's Synergy system, Blur will merge all of your contacts' data, whether on Facebook, e-mail or Twitter. In other words, when someone calls, the caller ID will reveal that person's name, number, status updates, and profile pic. Updating your status on Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace no longer requires posting individually on each; the BLUR system lets you immediately post the same message to all of them.
On the e-mail front, the CLIQ comes with Exchange support for business users, Gmail for Google fans, and you'll be able to access Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, and others via POP3 and IMAP support. Jha described the phone's Web browser as "best-in-class," so we're looking forward to seeing how it fares next to the iPhone and Palm Pre.
Aside from MOTOBLUR-specific widgets and contact systems, the phone runs Android, so you'll have full access to the Android Marketplace. Like most smartphones these days, the CLIQ is outfitted with Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities. Fortunately, Motorola opted for a 3.5mm headphone jack here, which means your standard 'phones will fit. The CLIQ also comes with a 5-megapixel, autofocusing camera. Get full specs and try the phone out virtually here.
The CLIQ, available in Winter White and Titanium models, will be offered exclusively on T-Mobile's service this winter. The phone, rebranded as DEXT, will hit international markets via Orange, Telefonica, and America Movil.

Just picked up my Motorola Cliq about a week ago. I was trying to decide between MT3G or the CLIQ and I went with the motorolla product. I had an iPhone and shadow previously and figured it is time to abandon HTC even though I have never had their touch screen before. I like the CLIQ for 5MP, voicemail player (no need to dial voicemail to listen to messages), qwerty keyboard (spacious, solid, comfortable after week of use), great interface and believe it or not its weight (i like my phone to be slightly heavier because I like to feel it in my hand). Compared to the MT3G the things I mentioned are not common characteristics for them both. I also like it better than myTouch because it is expandable to 32GBs of storage vs 16GB max for the myTouch which is a huge deal for me because I store a lot of files and music on my devices Smiley. I also like the fact that when you slide it out, the top part in the back has a sexy Moto logo and is lined with some sort of brushed metal I guess.... or w/e that is, but all I know it is metal and adds quality to the phone. The only things I am not happy about is its screen. It is 3.1 and is slightly smaller compared to the MT3G. The newest Motorolla (DROID) for Verizon does come with a bigger screen and the new 2.0 OS.
But because of all the other specs and parameters it makes CLIQ stand out more in my opinion, opinion based on device capabilities. As far as the OS of course I would like 2.0 or even 1.6 instead of 1.5 better. But I am certain the update will come sooner or later and willing to wait for it. This phone came out 3-4 weeks ago for god's sake and people need to chillax with some negative comments and other forums online. It will be worth waiting for the update, and some hacks/mods even better, so developers take your time please but deliver quality to me.
