Motorola DEXT MB220 / Motorola CLIQ

Build quality, comfortable keyboard, MotoBlur service, various social-networking portals, 3.5mm headphone jack

Slow, resistive touch screen, MotoBlur is right idea by wrong execution, interface can become cluttered

The rest of the Motorola CLIQ is mostly standard Android fare, with one major drawback: speed. Unfortunately the CLIQ's hardware struggles to keep up with its busy software, often resulting in frustrating lag and delay, even when accessing basic phone...

Excellent call quality and speakerphone. Near-perfect keyboard. Ground-breaking social networking integration. Cloud-based MotoBlur backs up PIM data. Syncs with Microsoft Exchange

Heavy. Screen could be a little larger. A little buggy

Motorola's first Android phone is a coherent, powerful communications device that brilliantly integrates social networking systems. Oh, and the CLIQ is a great smartphone, too.

MotoBlur is an innovative way to stay connected ; High-quality design and construction

5-megapixel camera disappoints ; Doesn't ship with newest version of Android OS 1.6

The beautifully designed Motorola Cliq is a social butterfly's dream phone, but others may find the MotoBlur user interface overwhelming.

Finally, Android on a device not made by HTC. Responsive touchscreen is swipe-tastic. Good camera takes detailed, noise-free pics. Remote wipe and online backup service great for folks who are prone to losing their phones

Messy Motorola skin over-complicates simplistic Android UI. Far too many features that can’t be hidden or deleted. Web browser is sucky mcsuck suck

MotoBlur UI offers lots by integrating social networking, information, and contact info. Microsoft Exchange support.

Form factor is short on style and is somewhat beefy. Same processor as other older Android phones.

Motorola may have a winner on its hands with the Cliq due to the great MotoBlur interface, social network integration, and unique uses of Android.

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 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...

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 Motorola DEXT has just been reduced in price here in the UK on Orange and it’s made it a real bargain. I would’ve perhaps thought twice about recommending it at the higher price but, although it does have faults, it’s worth picking up on Pay As You...
