Motorola CLIQ (T-Mobile)

The Motorola CLIQ is the company's first Android-powered smartphone. It's also a stellar device for the socially inclined. It aggregates updates from social networking sites, photo sharing sites, and Web-based e-mail. It could easily serve as the...

Excellent call quality and speakerphone. Near-perfect keyboard. Ground-breaking social networking integration. Cloud-based MotoBlur backs up PIM data. Syncs with Microsoft Exchange

Heavy. Screen could be a little larger. A little buggy

Motorola's first Android phone is a coherent, powerful communications device that brilliantly integrates social networking systems. Oh, and the CLIQ is a great smartphone, too.

Motorola Cliq

The Motorola Cliq ($200 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile) caught my attention because of its sleek design and its innovative MotoBlur overlay for Android. Overall, the new features lived up to my expectations, and I applaud Motorola for doing...

MotoBlur is an innovative way to stay connected ; High-quality design and construction

5-megapixel camera disappoints ; Doesn't ship with newest version of Android OS 1.6

The beautifully designed Motorola Cliq is a social butterfly's dream phone, but others may find the MotoBlur user interface overwhelming.

Review: Motorola Cliq

Motorola's first Android phone is an ambitious undertaking. But it suffers from social networking overload.

Finally, Android on a device not made by HTC. Responsive touchscreen is swipe-tastic. Good camera takes detailed, noise-free pics. Remote wipe and online backup service great for folks who are prone to losing their phones

Messy Motorola skin over-complicates simplistic Android UI. Far too many features that can’t be hidden or deleted. Web browser is sucky mcsuck suck

Motorola Cliq review

If anyone doubts that Google's Android has a future, then they haven't seen T-Mobile's Motorola Cliq MB200. With its easy-to-use design, spacious keyboard, and action-packed feature set, the Cliq combines an attractive, powerful device with the...

The Motorola Cliq has a great design with a brilliant display and easy-to-use controls and keyboard. Its feature set is rich and functional, and Motorola made some welcome improvements and user interface tweaks.

The Motorola Cliq lacks a file manager, a camera flash, and some basic organizer features. You can store apps only on the integrated memory, and the memory card slot is stashed behind the battery cover. Call quality wasn't perfect and the handset was...

With its excellent design, user interface improvements, and admirable feature set, the Motorola Cliq gives a big boost to the Android operating system. We had some performance quibbles with the device, and the Motoblur interface can be a bit much, but...

Motorola Cliq

The Motorola Cliq with MotoBlur is an elegant, somewhat beefy smartphone with a responsive touch screen.

MotoBlur UI offers lots by integrating social networking, information, and contact info. Microsoft Exchange support.

Form factor is short on style and is somewhat beefy. Same processor as other older Android phones.

Motorola may have a winner on its hands with the Cliq due to the great MotoBlur interface, social network integration, and unique uses of Android.

Motorola Cliq Review

Despite what people say, there's no such thing as an “objective” review because so much depends of how you use phones. Ifyou would like to look at different opinions, here are a few reads that you might like (in no particular order):

Motorola CLIQ Review

Motorola recently launched its first Android device, but despite the barrage of ads it is not, in fact, the DROID. No, that honor would belong to the Motorola CLIQ, a sprite little messaging device designed around social networking. The CLIQ sports...

Review: Motorola DEXT / CLIQ – another social networking play with MotoBLUR

The DEXT isn't just any old Android handset, either. Shunning the standard out-of-the-box Google OS experience, the device introduces MotoBLUR, the handset maker's own social networking UI layer and service. A unified address book that syncs Google,...

The final aspect of MotoBLUR is that all of your settings and content is backed up on Motorola’s servers. This means that if you change handset to another that supports MotoBLUR or if you need to do a hard reset, you won’t have to start over. It also...
