Motorola CLIQ Preview

Boy Genius received an early review unit of the new Motorola CLIQ running MOTOBLUR. BG has always been a Blackberry fan and he has good reason to do so. But after spending some time with the new CLIQ at the Mobilize 09, I would have to disagree with several of his points.

First point is the keyboard. BG stated “The buttons are hard, cheap plastic, and while there is some tactile feedback when you press a single key, it doesn’t “bounce” back up and it’s a little unsettling.” This is simply not true. Compared to the Blackberry Bold, the keys feel much more solid and tactile feedback is superb.

Second part that bothered me was this comment: “It seems decently solid, albeit a little cheap.” This is just not true. Several bloggers standing around one of the units we got to play with said that the handset was one of the more solid built devices we have held.

Once we receive our review unit, we plan on doing a complete walk-through of the day to day apps that most people use and give you our opinions of the device.
