After Droid, Cliq is another confirmation that Motorola is back on the mobile market, http://www.itsagadget.com/2009/12/motorola-cliq-is-another-android.html

This is a wonderful review. I just purchased the Cliq a few days ago and I must say it is a great phone. I had to make a decision between the Cliq or IPhone. The fact that the IPhone doesnt have a interchangable battery and the camera isnt as good, the Cliq won me over! Not to mention the hassle of having it unlocked & jailbroken because I refuse to switch over to AT&T. I’ll just throw a 16gig memory card in it and call it even. Plus I like having the option of using the on screen or slide out keyboard. However, the on screen keyboard is not as accurate as I hoped it to be. Maybe it will take a little more getting used to. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and will keep this phone for a while. Motorola made a good comeback!

the phone’s touch front was clear and precise, it worked really well. Even on the demo phone i played with for a little while the motoblur was exploding all over the home screen, very distracting and cluttered. the keyboard is terrible, with hard keys that are very rounded. The keys make typing difficult because they arent staggered like a real keyboard and the shape and hardness of them makes your finger slide off and hit extra keys. I feel that even my old samsung gravity had a superior keyboard, and the g1′s was far superior with dedicated symbol and number keys, key staggering, and good spacing. I would get the cliq if it was all touch screen, but the terrible keyboard ruins the phone for me. Instead i will get the MT3G. Its also unclear if motoblur can be disabled or removed from the phone to free up processor speed, extend battery life, and reduce home screen clutter for those of us who can live without facebook in a saline drip.

This phone looks sweet and has alot of features but i still need to play with it more. the keys take so getting use to………the reason i have to play more with it is because of something the motorola rep. said then had to correct him self (he made it sound like it some times slows down)

I think it’s comparitive to the Hero, but it’s missing the trackball! I realize it has a trackpad for when using the slide out keyboard, but I use my ball so often on my G1 I can’t imagine having Android without one! I hate the slide out keyboard on the G1 so I rarely use it, instead I use the on-screen Sense UI keyboard (rooted G1.)

All in all, I can save about $20+ a month by switching to Sprint from T-Mobile, so I think I’m going to have to make the switch, especially since the CLIQ is going to be $20 more than the Hero.

One other concern I have with this or any other phone pumping in info-PRIVACY. Say your significant other gets snoopy one day. Now they would not only be able to check calls/texts, but now view all your social website messages, etc.?

Anybody know a way around that, or anyone who has access to your phone has access to EVERYTHING?

@fabien,

I think it does not have multi-touch. However, for your specific need of zooming in the browser perhaps they have implemented that some other way. Perhaps as a touch bar at the edge of the screen or maybe using the bottons?

I would think that using multi-touch for zoom is a problem in the browser because you might touch a link.

We really need a full review!

What I could not see in the videos or read about in the review or any other page is: does it have the multi-touch capabilities that the HTC hero has? Meaning the zoom feature in the browser. I would love to have that on this phone

this looks cool. and my g1 is pissing off because it keeps breaking and screen wiggles after a bit use. idc abut bluer crap. ill most likely take it off. also i like,want and need the head phone jack and better battery and also in the internal memory of 512 should be enough i moded my phone to use apps off the sd card and a 512 was more than enough,(about 10 games and 30 or so app with about 200mb left) so im not to worried about that. i just want a srurdy phone with android to last me a bout an year. i wish it had a numbers in the keyboard but it looks good and i like the d pad.

MOTOROLA DID NOT CREATE THEIR OWN UI ……..
….

They created a new home screen with lots of different panes and some navigation for that.
They also created four special “blur” widgets that you can place anywhere you want. These widgets get their data from the BLUR servers using your blur account. This data is pre-processed content from whatever social networks you setup on your blur account.
