FB on blur is a tad faster than the iPhone FB app. also, blur updates FB profile pics in your address book for contacts with FB accounts (not sure if it works with myspace/twitter). i agree with the engadget article. had a chance to check out a cliq the other day. it is FAST. also feels nice to hold with a very nice keyboard. very easy to type (way more so than my BB). blur was a little cluttered, but it was a “stock” version. i like the gray more than the white (pearl), but both looked nice. narrower, thicker, and shorter than an iPhone.

And scholes looks great. If it delivers what it promises, it will be everything I've been looking for in an iPhone, but Apple hasn't delivered. But what a shame it will be exclusive to verizon. That's a deal-breaker for me. So count me in line for the cliq on the day of it's release. ...Unless word leaks of a better Android option on t-mobile before then.

Here's what Engadget said about the Moto Cliq : "UI is definitely faster than any factory ROM we’ve used before on any Android device. The device feels absolutely fantastic overall. Pictures don’t do it justice… feels like it’s fashioned from a solid block of metal. The keyboard feels great. Truly stellar, actually[...]" http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/09/10/motorola-cliq-first-hands-on-impressions/ We all have questions. Lets just wait for a full review. I want to see how well the fully compliant web browser works and how they have implemented zooming and clicking on links. One thing I know, is that it will have a key feature that many iPhones lack, that is the bluetooth profile AVRCP, so you can use BT headphones controls for next/previous track. Just take a look at the specs: http://developer.motorola.com/products/handsets/cliq/ Okay, it is not an iPhone killer, but it can multi-task! For the iPhone killer, wait for the phone codenamed "Sholes". Why the Motorola hate?

BUT the fact of the matter is that generation y, these little bastards that aren't disciplined and run around with $300 phones, do want that. so even though you believe the "cliq sucks", motorola intended their aim at the 12 year old slut about two houses down from you that cant wait to update her facebook status with 50 cent's: "I'll take you to the candy shop; Boy one taste of what I got" *internet high five* @macj

The constant updates will drive the battery to the ground. Cliq sucks, the screen is so cluttered, who the hell wants to twitter all day till Sunday or make entries in Facebook all day long?

Remember that Motorola is founding member of the Open Handset Alliance which started in Nov 2007. So say they started around that time and planned lots of different form factors, lots of the different levels of power and ability, to suit different frequency bands and different price points. Then they hired 350 android developers. Remember that they already had lots of experience with Java and also with touch screens in (mostly in Asia). Now they have announced the first of those fruits of their labor: the Morrison/CLIQ to be soon followed by the Sholes/???? So lets wait to see what else comes off their pipeline. I am excited !

Unless you count different versions of a handset on different carriers, it's almost impossible. When the HTC Tattoo ships, it will be their 4th Android phone in 12 months. I just don't see it happening. I have my doubts that we’ll see 10 Android phones from Motorola in the next 10 months.
