Motorola has greatly struggled in the smartphone market here in the United States, though its Google Android-powered Cliq smartphone was designed to help right the ship.
Even though it looks like it could be a decent device, with several innovative features, early reviews indicate the phone has its advantages but also must deal with numerous flaws that Motorola could have fixed.
On the plus side, several reviews indicate the phone's slim design -- despite being a slider -- is nice, with the phone using a full QWERTY keyboard. One of the disadvantages of Motorola's Cliq, however, is that the user interface is cluttered and very hard to use, along with Motoroa apparently trying to do too much, too soon.
I haven't had the chance to test the Cliq first hand, but it seems Motorola will be able to sucker some Android supporters into purchasing the phone. People interested in using a phone with somewhat questionable software support will likely avoid using the phone any time soon.
The T-Mobile smartphone from Motorola was introduced on Sept. 9, and I'm curious to hear what you guys think of it. It has a rectangular design, slide-away QWERTY keyboard, 3.1-inch screen, and is a phone designed to be above the G1 and not as powerful as the MyTouch 3G handset.
Even though the design is above the G1, T-Mobile will continue to focus more on the MyTouch 3G over any other device currently available.
Take a look of this Motorola Cliq review published on Wired.
