Motorola CLIQ Launching November 11th?
One word to sum up the rumors surrounding the Motorola CLIQ launch – confusion. Today a BGR tipster told them that the Motorola CLIQ would be launching on T-Mobile November 11th alongside the BlackBerry 9700.
Alone the rumor would seem normal, but last week BGR posted a release timeline with 2 very different opinions:
- The article itself said the CLIQ will launch in Mid-October
- The image/timeline clearly illustrated a November release
BGR updated the article to say BOTH were right – the CLIQ would launch in October and while the timeline was official it was outdated – a new timeline clearly illustrated an October release. The logical conclusion is that T-Mobile will open up the pre-order for existing customers in mid-October and we’ll find it on the shelves November 11th… but we’re not going to make any assumptions considering all this murkiness.
Meanwhile, TMOtoday learned that T-Mobile employees would seen be getting trained on the CLIQ with an internal contest offering knowledgeable employees a chance to win the device. A pamphlet explains the contest kicks off September 29th and employees have to get an 80% or better on the quiz which is located at AdventureMotoRetail.com.
So regardless of what the launch date ends up being, it is right around the corner. Although I must say us American folk should be a little jealous of those in the UK who already have an October launch confirmed by Orange. Patience is a virtue young phandroid… but honestly… What in the DEXT is that all about?
