I have been using my Cliq for about a week now and I love the phone. Grant it the screen could be bigger, but it serves the purpose and keeps the size where it still functions as a cell phone like it’s suppose to.

I sometimes wonder if we have all forgot that these are CELL PHONES and NOT laptop computers, radios or jukeboxes. I am 53 and have seen the evolution of the cell phone and think we have come a hell of a long way from the first compact model I owned many moons ago.

I have had the IPhone, Blackberrys, G1 and the Mytouch G2 and this phone is not a Iphone killer by any means but it is the best android phone I have used so far. I like the social networking that MOTOBLUR offers and I have no problem with the android updates being a little behind.

Hell, I put up with apple and ITunes for two years and went thru a phase when after doing a Iphone update, my SMS text quit working and the phone was dropping every other call but they fixed the problem just like T-Mobile will do for this phone.

The battery life could be better but at least you can change the battery and they probaly alreay have an extended one available for the thing as we speak. I have always hated the fact that my Iphone had a built in battery and could not be updated to a higher current one.

I hope this review is helpfull and for those of you who live by reading these reviews, I say you should touch it, feel it and play with it and make your decision based on that and go with your gut. I only use these as a guide and I always consider the source of the review. Thanks

OMG its got the same crappy processor the other android phones have. Seriously unless you want a phone that will be outdated almost out of the box wait for an android phone with a real processor, not that crappy ancient qualcomm crap.

I don’t know if anyone noticed in the Cliq promo but it showed some apps that are not available (to the best of my knowledge) on Android yet. At a glance, the apps that I recognized were Slacker, IHeartRadio, Viigo & Ticketmaster and also they repeated some apps over again such the T-mobile myaccount, Flame, Mytracks, Tmobile AppPack, & Myfaves. For one, I would like to see Slacker on Android and especially with the same features as featured on Blackberry phones such as the ability to cache stations and listen to them without the need of data connection or reception and also IHeartRadio in order to listen to some radio shows on my phone. However, it is kind of a disappointment to see a promo pointing out all the good features of Android and yet it had to rely on using apps only available (for now) on Blackberry and the Iphone. Does anyone agree?

that is the best add I have seen T-mobile done.
Anybody notice that there is usually nobody talking throughout their advertisements? Maybe it’s just me and the ones I’ve seen.

oh and I forgot to add that even though it will let you use a song as the alarm tone, it has to be in MP3 format. the cliq doesn’t recognize .wma files, so i’ll have to download a converter program. Turning out to be a lot of work for somethign that I was really hyped about before the release.

you know, i’ve had my cliq for about a week now and I’m about to give it away and go back to my old G1. I hate that it doesn’t use the miniUSB universal port for it’s charger outlet. I don’t like the “slide to answer” iphone copycat approach they took. The scroll is too sensitive; when you touch a contact name when you are scrollig down it starts callign them right away. there is no “end call” button as on the G1, just an onscreen button that seems unresponsive when you are hastily trying to end a mistakenly touched call. I”m having trouble getting the visual voicemail set up, not a problem with the phone, but with my service apparently. the only thing I do like about it is the 3.5mm headphone jack, but i’m going to be shelling out another $50 for a new microsdHC card that can hold all my music. wallpapers need to be set in landscape orientation because the cliq stretches the image out over all 5 panels. otherwise, it’s a great phone. i just don’t see much improvement over the G1 and it is taking me more “getting used to” that I expected. i miss he G1′s trackball for browser scrolling without opening the keyboard.

Hahaha, I know, this guy doesn’t realize the MyTouch IS the G2, hahaha. Moto having the Cliq locked down because of Motoblur is a concern. But they can’t just not update it, it is an Android device. And I really think its in our, the customers hands, if Moto takes too long with OTA updates. The Cliq users have to bombard T Mobile and Motorola with calls and emails about it, consistently. That would get them going and get the OTAs out to the Cliq. If the Cliq gets 2.0 when the Droid is released, like some are saying, then I won’t be so bothered that it was only shipped with 1.5.
