Motorola CLIQ 2 Overview
The Motorola Cliq 2 is probably what the original Cliq should have been. It's rockin' a 3.7 inch touchscreen, 1 Ghz processor, 1 GB of memory, Android with MOTOBLUR, and a revamped hardware QWERTY keyboard. It's actually just breakting through the surface of high-end device, although MOTOBLUR makes that 1GHz processor seem much slower than it really is.
Despite the software, it's been a solid device for many and has one of the best keyboards on a T-Mobile phone to date. The Motorola CLIQ 2 was released on January 19th, 2011.

Motorola CLIQ 2 Reviews
CNET The Motorola Cliq 2 delivers a usable design and agreeable performance, but we were hoping for more feature improvements over its Cliq predecessors.
Phone Dog It isn't the most exciting device of 2011, but it is a good phone with great build quality. Motorola definitely stepped it up from the original CLIQ and turned the CLIQ 2 into a device that straddles the line between a mid-range and high-end device.
Android Central Overall, the Motorola Cliq 2 met and in some cases exceeded my expectations. In particular, the keyboard, overall performance, and build quality were impressive.
Android Authority Overall, I was very impressed with this device. If it had a front facing camera, and a slightly faster processor, it might actually be the one to replace my myTouch because I was that impressed with it.
Android And Me The Cliq 2 closely resembles the original Motorola Cliq, but has some beefed up specs and a much-improved hardware keyboard that could make it a real competitor to the current line of high-end smartphones on T-Mobile.
G4 TV The Motorola Cliq 2 features a slide-out keyboard, a MOTOBLUR interface, 1 GHz processor and 4G connectivity, meaning it can browsing the web, running apps and keeping in touch with you friends with incredibly fast speeds.
Slash Gear It’s taken over a year for the true successor to emerge, the Motorola CLIQ 2, and Android, MOTOBLUR and the smartphone segment in general have undergone some significant changes in the meantime.
Pocket Now The MotoBlur user interface will appeal to the social networking addict by simplifying ways to update status and share media. In this review we will cover the hardware, software and overall experience that the Cliq 2 has to offer.
PCMag The original Motorola Cliq was innovative for its social-networking focus; this revised model adds a significantly updated OS, plus a big boost in CPU power and screen resolution.
PCWorld The Cliq 2 is an excellent follow-up to the original Cliq with a superb keyboard and some very useful features, but if you take a lot of pictures with your phone, you’ll be disappointed with the mediocre camera.
Laptop Mag This head-turning Android slider is much improved over its predecessor, but it's not as feature rich as similarly priced competitors.
Phone Arena And now, continuing with the landscape sliding keyboard form factor, a more direct successor in the Motorola CLIQ 2 has arrived, boasting some updated hardware that should hopefully come off as a respectable mid-range offering on T-Mobile's lineup.
