This is a phone to love. It has awsome features. The outside controls are so easy to use and perfect for gaming (anything uder 32bit), the Android 2.1 Eclair OS software is wonderful and smooth, but, it's becoming outdated for tech-savvy people, but oh well, who cares if you're the kind of person that's easily content with a great working phone like this. If your happy with enough and decent Android software, this phone is perfect for you. It is definitely worth under $100.00, and not a penny more because of the hardware specifications and its lack of software upgradability. Otherwise, a spectacular phone. If you're a classic gamer, NES, Genesis, Super NES, etc....this thing is perfect, the controls are just right for configuration for any classic game. Again with and ONLY with the above info mentioned, it's a really great phone. Worth up to $100, but no more!Read full review
A lot of people rag on this phone for one reason or another, but I've found that over the past year and a half that I've owned the Motorola Cliq, it's really been an excellent companion. It's a very very sturdy feeling android phone geared towards messaging and fun. While it won't allow you to move apps to the SD card because of its antiquated 2.1 OS (a 2.2 or 2.3 update would have made this thing MUCH MUCH BETTER!) and frankly it's very slow compared to newer phones, it's a VERY NICE phone to have as a backup, a first Android, or if you're just a value seeker who wants a great phone for the money. With the right adjustments, the battery will last with the best of them. Also, the software on this thing from Motoblur is first rate. I wish the MyTouch 4G I'm replacing this with had a lot of the shortcuts in the power menu such as wifi/GPS/bluetooth toggles, and the ringer on/off switch on the side. I will be buying one of these used as a backup, and maybe just to use for fun, sometimes!Read full review
The good: The Motorola Cliq has a great design with a brilliant display and easy-to-use controls and keyboard. Its feature set is rich and functional, and Motorola made some welcome improvements and user interface tweaks. The bad: The Motorola Cliq lacks a file manager, a camera flash, and some basic organizer features. You can store apps only on the integrated memory, and the memory card slot is stashed behind the battery cover. Call quality wasn't perfect and the handset was occasionally sluggish. The bottom line: With its excellent design, user interface improvements, and admirable feature set, the Motorola Cliq gives a big boost to the Android operating system. We had some performance quibbles with the device, and the MotoBlur interface can be a bit much, but the phone has a lot to like.And with the new update touch sensititvity and battery problems were solved.Read full review
I now have 3 Cliqs in my household. Keeping the camera lens clean is the biggest drawback. Freezing while typing emails or texts happens often, but the current T-Mobile Android 2.1 update should resolve these issues. The Wi-Fi performance is outstanding and Moto Blur seamlessly blends all of your social networking information. Phone is just the right size and weight. If using all of the features, keep a spare battery handy and car charger. I find it best to keep it plugged in when at home or desk. This phone is capable of doing more than you could ever need and easily takes the place of a netbook. Only upgrade is an iPhone, which has much poorer call performance but a better display. My son left his Clique for an iPhone 4 but I can never hear him clearly on calls, it's weakest feature!Read full review
As said, I'm pretty satisfied using this as my first smart phone. It lets me check my gmail, take pictures, set multiple alarms, go online, set up my google calendar, and get access to the android market. The physical keyboard is also a huge plus because I have no texting skills on a dialer. I don't really want all the social network feeds, so I could turn those off, leaving only the news feed (like newspaper kinda news). On the other hand, I see two possible deal breakers. One, the batteries dies fast--I'm a moderate user but I have to charge the phone every day or so. Two, the "call" and "end call" buttons are on screen, instead of being physical buttons. That said, if you get a good deal on this phone, I still recommend it.
