Hands-on with the Motorola CLIQ smartphone
I recently got the chance to get hands-on with Motorola’s major smartphone debut, the touchscreen-QWERTY slider smartphone called CLIQ. My take: Motorola’s CLIQ is a game-changing device for T-Mobile The CLIQ is a Google Android smartphone with a 3.1-inch touchscreen display and a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard. Building on the timid path that the T-Mobile G1 and myTouch 3G (both built by HTC) laid before it, the CLIQ combines the best elements of those Android-based devices and improves on the worst. [Image Gallery: Motorola CLIQ with Motoblur] To me, the CLIQ is a power user’s dream phone: it combines touch and keyboard for choice of input; it offers Microsoft Exchange support as well as built-in Google services integration; it’s got robust support for images, audio and video; it offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G GSM connectivity .
