The CLIQ lives up to Motorola’s tradition of great design and quality, and to our history of working together to create products that enhance the lives and the relationships of our customers.”
The smartphone features a 3.1-inch HVGA touchscreen display. The 3G enabled handset boasts of a slide-out QWERTY keyboard facilitating users to quickly fire a text message. Navigation is also made fun and rapid owing to Motoblur’s streams and widgets. The Cliq is equipped with 2GB microSD memory card and supports up to 32GB of removable memory.
Sanjay Jha, co-CEO of Motorola and CEO of Motorola Mobile Devices stated, “We’re pleased to announce our first Android-powered device in partnership with T-Mobile USA. Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR differentiates the Android experience for consumers by being the only smartphone that automatically syncs conversations, contacts and content, and delivers a solution that’s instinctive, social and smart.”
With T-Mobile’s 3G network and Wi-Fi, mobile Web experience with the Motorola handset is also elevated. Further, the smartphone packages a 5 megapixel auto focus camera with video capture and playback that delivers 24 frames per second. It incorporates a 3.5mm headset jack, a music player with pre-loaded Amazon MP3 store application, Shazam, iMeem Mobile and more.
