Motorola Dext / Cliq previewed. Low price apparently confirmed
Announced yesterday as Motorola Cliq for T-Mobile USA and Motorola Dext for the rest of the world, Moto’s first Android smartphone is definitely one of the company’s most interesting devices in the last few years.
Initially known as Motorola Morrison, the Cliq / Dext is a touchscreen handset with a full QWERTY keyboard and almost any feature you’d want from a modern smartphone, including 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi , 3.5mm headset jack and a 5MP autofocus camera.
The phone uses MotoBlur, a customized Android UI that syncs all your contacts and provides quick access to social networking services.
A preview of the Motorola Cliq / Dext has just appeared over at Mobile-review. The general impression is that the smartphone is a really nice one.
The MotoBlur UI (which requires you to create an account) works well, the touchscreen display is “good” and responsive, while the QWERTY keyboard is “quite handy”.
