The Cliq looks nice but still we have no Android phone with 8 gigs of storage. So so disappointing.

Until we have confirmation that you can root this phone and run apps off the SD card, I can’t get it.

I filled up my G1 in the first 4 days of having it. Thank god we have alternate roms to install that allow apps on the SD card.

The Pre and Pixie both are shipping with 8 gigs on board. Come on Android OEMs!

In the past three months, I have had a G1 (too slow and battery died way too fast), a Blackberry 8900 (I hated that freakin’ thing!!!) a Dash, and I just returned the myTouch in anticipation for something similar to the myTouch but with a Qwerty keyboard. I, too am disappointed by the apparent lack of flash on the Cliq, however, I would have loved the myTouch if not for the lack of a Qwerty keyboard. My fiance is seriously reconsidering marrying me if I don’t fall in love with and stick to a phone in the very near future!! So right now I am using a prepaid $20 Nokia until this phone comes out….(I was previously on Verizon and had an ENV).

@FILA… no offense, but you are the only one excited about v2 because the rest of us don’t know jack about it. All I know is v2 is codenamed Bigfoot and will be a full QWERTY slider. I can hardly be anticipating a phone I know nothing about. The question is now do I wait and see what those v2 details are or do I take a chance on Moto?

My criteria is this: I want another Android phone that has somewhat improved specs over the G1/myTouch, with a full QWERTY board. My issue w/ G1 is how sluggish it gets. Not smooth at all, and yes I’m very proactive w/ my task running and mgmt. A better camera is a must too since the G1′s cam is the most god awful thing ever.

On paper, it seems like the Cliq could fulfill my requests. We’ll see! And like everyone else, my only fear w/ Moto is the build quality.

Motorola has always pushed the curve.
I’ve been using my MotoRokr E6 for around 2 years now, and it was over 2 years old when I got it! Quad Band Touchscreen Linux smartphone with 2 mp camera (and camera button!), a2dp bluetooth, voicedial, sms, email, full internet browser, media player, 3.5 mm headphone jack, sd card… Gmail, Gmaps, all working great on this thing! When the iPhone came out it lacked half the features on that list, and took 2 years to catch up. I’ve passed up every new phone to keep this one, even gave it a complete rebuild, replacing the screen and case, and I still haven’t found anything that compares. (Seriously HTC – no headphone jack?!)
Why they never sold the E6 in the states is beyond me. They would have really scored big.
So I’m hoping Moto came through again with this one. I’m due for a new phone next month, and I’m looking forward to keeping my old charger ;)
Course, I won’t be able to get full internet for 6 bucks anymore… :-/

If the n900 wasnt so close, I’d strongly consider a pre-order on this.

@ Anthony

I agree on the no flash.. what is so hard about adding flash?? atleast a LED flash.. but yea, there is no UMA on the Moto Cliq

Great phone but needs flash, if no other android phones come out with a 5 mp camera and FLASH then I will definitely get this phone but seriously moto a 5mp camera with NO FLASH!!!! FLASH it’s not that hard just a little xenon flash or even dual led under that lens won’t take away anything just adds GET FLASH!!!!!!

Sticking with my myTouch till the G1v2 comes out first quarter next year. Im not a Moto fan, althou I do think this will bounce them back into the game a little. Im not to crazy over that Blur interface althou you dont have to run it. The hardware is attractive, not the biggest fan on the keyboard, but still better then the shitty onscreen board i hate using. Im giving this phone for you guys to argue over, but dont come crying back with your Moto starts dying. Its seems like Im the only one excited and patiently waiting for the v2. all well!
