Vital Statistics
The Motorola CLIQ weighs 4.9 ounces and measures 4.5 x 2.3 x 0.61 inches. Its 1420 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6 hours of talk time, and up to 324 hours (13.5 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies, as well as T-Mobile's 3G network (1700/2100 MHz).

T-Mobile Services

  • High-speed data connectivity via T-Mobile's 3G network: In addition to its quad-band GSM connectivity, this phone is also compatible with T-Mobile's UMTS/HSDPA 3G network, which operates on the 1700/2100 MHz AWS spectrum. This phone is designed to automatically connect to the best available network (3G or GSM/GPRS/EDGE) to provide faster data speeds when accessing the Web.

    In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the via T-Mobile's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"). This high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and e-mail on the go.

    While this phone is optimized for use with T-Mobile's high-speed 3G network, many of its functions will also work well on the moderate-speed EDGE network. If you plan to access the Internet extensively on your phone, 3G network coverage may serve you best.

    Activities that work well on EDGE or 3G networks:

    • Email, instant messaging, and texting
    • Downloading ringtones, CallerTunes, wallpaper, light data files
    • Sending photographs via e-mail or picture messaging

    Activities that work best on a 3G network:

    • Viewing content-heavy websites (lots of images or videos playing)
    • Viewing YouTube and other video files (they will play on EDGE, but require loading time)
    • Uploading large files (photos, videos, presentations) to sharing websites
    • Downloading large files from an e-mail or a website

    T-Mobile's 3G network is currently available in 222 cities nationwide and covers more than 160 million people. By the end of 2009, T-Mobile USA expects its 3G network to be available to approximately 200 million people across the U.S.

2 out of 5 stars Never buy a MotoBLUR phone.   July 17, 2010
Angus Ware
Whatever benefits come with the CLIQ - the hardware, the Android platform etc., there is a depressing reality about it: it uses MotoBLUR.

BLUR is Motorola's answer to HTC's Sense - both skins on top of Android that add or replicate functionality with more gloss and style (at least in the case of HTC). BLUR is slow, ugly, glitchy, drains the phone's battery life and takes some interface and functionality decisions that are bizarre and completely and utterly moronic.

Here's a perfect example: BLUR includes a messaging widget that allows you to read and reply to SMS and emails without opening either app - you can do it from the home screen - but some genius decided that the default reply phone number for a contact should be their landline phone as a preference over the number that actually can receive SMS messages (a contact's mobile number)... has anyone at Motorola even used a phone?

Likewise BLUR is built on top of Android 1.5. Android 2.1 introduced most of the benefits of BLUR, Facebook and Twitter integration, and other phones such as the Motorola Charm and the Droid X run their own 2.1 versions of BLUR, meaning that Motorola have no commercial interest in updating their 1.5 phones, because users will soon see that BLUR is a pathetic excuse at an Android skin that no longer provides any functionality: they literally used an outdated version of the OS and then built the newer features themselves so they can make the phones look like they stand out amongst the more updated crowd (they don't stand out at all because everyone else has the same features).

2.1 may never come to the CLIQ, it has so many hardware issues (touchscreen unresponsive or over-responsive, poor battery life, hinge feels flimsy), and BLUR is such a pig of an Android skin that I would never recommend anyone never buy a CLIQ, a MotoBLUR phone or any Motorola phone targeted at the casual phone user ever again. It's a poor excuse for a phone.



1 out of 5 stars Outdated software with poor support   July 16, 2010
Totalimmortal042
Terrible experience with this device. It is a decent phone from a hardware perspective, but it is running Android 1.5, and is one of only two phones left on the market running this outdated OS (the other being its brother phone, the Cliq XT). Motorola has announced an approximate date for upgrade twice, only to wait until the last minute to announce delays in updating the phone to Android 2.1. Without 2.1, there are a growing number of apps that will not work on this phone because they require at least 1.6. If you are serious about Android and want a version with less intrusive "bloatware," check out HTC phones. Even Samsung devices (minus the Behold II) are going to be better options than Motorola. If you are interested in "rooting" your device, or flashing custom ROMs, definitely check out HTC, as Moto has recently announced they will locking their bootloader, similar to the iPhone, to prevent any type to modification to the software

Bottom line... Stay away from this device unless you are ready for a headache. Pay the extra $30-$70 for a better phone. It will be well worth it!



1 out of 5 stars Poor Customer Service from Motorola   July 15, 2010
kkt
The phone itself is good, however it is the customer support from Motorola that I found to be very poor. Motorola is still dragging its feet on upgrading the OS on this Phone from 1.5 to 2.1 despite have first said it was coming in January 2010, then pushing to Q2, and finally on the last possible day of Q2 saying they were delaying it until further notice.

My main reason for getting this phone was that it had the Blur Service, would be upgraded to 2.1 shortly. Blur has had its share of issues with data delays etc. 2.1 is yet to come.



4 out of 5 stars Great Phone in Need of More Thought   May 20, 2010
Brian C. Reed (Bakersfield, California USA)
I bought this phone after owning a Blackberry for a year with Sprint. I had been with Sprint for over 10 years but dealing with them and that horrible Blackberry was too much. I bought the Cliq at Radio Shack (highly recommended) and got it for $50. The sales guy was extremely informative and answered every question I had. It was a great experience.

The phone is great as well. I have had zero problems with it accepting my blue tooth, its reception is good and all of the calls are clear. I love the Android OS. I have customized my screens so they are not as crowded as they are when you pick up the phone new. The apps I have downloaded are great and free. My wife is wishing she had gotten this phone as well.

The only thing I wish it had was a physical button to answer and hang up the phone. I also would like a flash for the camera and image stabilization there as well. That's it. The battery goes two-three days if I am not constantly on Facebook or online. It's a great phone and I look forward to having it for the rest of my contract.



1 out of 5 stars Broken   April 28, 2010

This is actually a pretty nice phone. The UI has a few little glitches, but it mostly works as intended.

That is _when_ it works. I can't speak for anyone else's phone, but my Cliq constantly resets and then hangs at the first boot screen. It will run without problems for as long as the battery lasts... unless I actually try to use it for something. If I try to read a web page, listen to music, read email, etc. it will work for ten to fifteen minutes, then crash and reboot. When it restarts it hangs at the boots screen with every device it contains - screen, backlight, notification led, everything powered on at 100%. It gets very hot, and will stay that way until it burns the battery out (one way or another I suppose). If I hit the lock/power button it will reset again, and hang again in the same spot. Even pulling the battery doesn't let it boot normally.

I had intended to use this phone for a number of things, but as it is it's un-usable!

I don't see a better Android phone available at T-mobile, and I can suggest this one, so even though i haven't had any problem with T-mobile's services I recommend against signing with them.

Actually all the Android phones available right now a riddled with problems. I wish there was a decent phone I could buy...
