There’s a certain novelty and even vanity about being the first to possess something many want. Well for those who recently paid $200 for the CLIQ that novelty is about to wear off.
Wirefly.com just announced they will be selling the CLIQ for $120 (40% discount) for those opening a new line or account with T-Mobile US.
Ouch! That’s $80 some of you could have saved if you waited 2 days.
This pricing is for a Motorola CLIQ on the T-Mobile US network with a 2 year contract.
This is a really aggressive push by Wirefly to get customers. The internet mobile retailer also sells the Samsung Moment for $30 dollars less than Sprint does.

I was gonna buy mine off there but then I heard about my local Costco selling them for $150 with accessories (car charger, case, bluetooth headset, etc.) AND a waived activation fee. So I’ll definitely be hitting that offer up.
Also, I’ve heard rumors on various Moto/T-Mo forums of people saying they heard from Moto/T-Mo reps that 2.0 is coming to the Cliq in the coming months, does that have any possibility of being true? I know the current 2.0 on Droid is much too powerful for a measly 528MHz processor, but perhaps they plan to scale it down a bit? You know, tweak it performance-wise. It’d be nice if you guys looked into that.

The “coming soon” doesn’t have a release date. If the G1 was able to run 2.0 a bit laggy the CLIQ should be able to run it. The CLIQ has the ram.
Or win it for free! :P http://www.adventuremotoretail.com
If i saw this before I won mine, I’d buy it as a backup CLIQ…. :P
Good to know, Rob. Either way, I’m definitely getting this phone soon. I can’t wait. =]
I am still surprised there is no free with contract Android phone in the US.
With the Android phones being released now, and those soon to come, I’m a loss as to why anyone would go with this one.
as of yesterday when I bought one for my wife, the cliq was $99 with new 2 year activation at Best Buy.
amazon has it for $99 with no contract =]
@ Oat,
Amazon DOES NOT have it for $99 with no contract. It’s $99 with 2 year contract. If you click Buy Without a Service Plan you’ll see it for $449 without a contract.
