The guys over at Android Central got their hands on a Motorola Cliq XT which appears to have T-Mobile branding and is expected to hit the carrier sometime in mid March. The device is confirmed to have WiFi and sporting Android 1.6, which makes us a bit dissappointed.

A very slick feature of the device is the sides of the phone, on the outside of the trackpad, can pick up your touch as well (similar to the Palm Pre/Pixi gesture area). A tipster which gave the info to Android Central,stated that the function ends about a third of the way up the handset.
