Motorola’s First Android Phone Takes Aim at Social Networks

The new Moto Cliq looks nice!!!! As a Moto fan, I would like to see them come out with a blockbuster....



Motorola introduced the Cliq, the company’s first phone based on the Android mobile operating system. The device will have a custom interface called Moto Blur that will bring together e-mail messages, text messages, Facebook and Twitter feeds, and photos into a single interface.
The phone has a physical slide-out keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, 3G connectivity, the ability to shoot video at 24 frames per second, a standard headphone jack and GPS capability. The phone will be available on T-Mobile’s network in the fourth quarter. Motorola did not disclose the price for the phone.
“This is the first phone with social skills,” said Cole Brodman, chief technology officer at T-Mobile. “Cliq and Moto Blur is the start of the next chapter of Android and shows significance of the platform.”
The phone will also be available internationally under the name Moto Dext.
Motorola also plans to introduce another phone in the next few weeks, in time for holiday season sales.

It is interesting how the speaker slot, the home button and the overall shape look very much like an iPhone. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
