Whats Good About the New Motorola Cliq?
With its excellent design, user interface improvements, and admirable feature set, the Motorola Cliq gives a big boost to the Android operating system. So whats good about the New Motorola Cliq:
1. Moto is an expert in building its own phones, thus some smart hardware know-how goes into the New Motorola Cliq ’s design. Everything on the phone is where you’d expect it to be and buttons are more-or-less in acceptable locations. But there’s a looseness in the slide-out keyboard that’s more irritating. Maybe it’s because the slider doesn’t quite lock into place like it should.
2. A hardware keyboard is always a welcome thing to have, and the New Motorola Cliq ’s behaves well. There’s enough spacing in each of the keys that it’s easy to type, but not too much that it’s occupying a lot of space.
3. The New Motorola Cliq has a blinking light on the front for notifications, which has been on BlackBerries for a while. Great if you don’t get a lot of emails or if you don’t follow a lot of people.
4. You can also wake up the phone using the facebuttons, not just the power toggle, so two quick menu button presses will get you to the home screen immediately.
5. Having a D pad is going to be useful in the future when Android developers start making games that take advantage of it, but you can use it now in NES/SNES emulators.
6. The New Motorola Cliq’s camera is a beefy 5-megapixel autofocus, which produces decent photos compared to other Android phones.
7. Call quality is pretty good, something Motorola has managed to do well even when their software has faltered.
8. And now for the New Motorola Cliq Widgets:
- The news widget is really cool that a phone would have a built-in RSS reader right on the home screen, but the others are a little bit trickier.
-
Messaging Widget
I don’t know why, but it’s very satisfying to be able to swipe through your emails directly from the home screen, quickly deleting or replying with just one tap.
-
Happenings Widget
This is where all your social networks are rolled into one big feed. Again, it’s a time saver to have all these updates in one place and being able to swipe through them, though sometimes you get way too many updates to realistically do so.
