After being, frankly, rattling impressed at the declaration of Motorola’s prototypal Android smartphone yesterday, we caught up with the CLIQ (aka Motorola DEXT) afterwards for a hands-on demo.  Motorola were existence modest with the handset, preferring to separate finished its capabilities themselves kinda than earmark a free-for-all in our possess hands, but we did intend sufficiency of a endeavor to ascertain that the QWERTY keyboard is somatosense and substantially built, patch the 3.1-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen is bright, susceptible and – thanks to the hornlike render counterbalance – feels great.

It also seems to be quick, too, though there’s no informing how near to production-status the code is on these demonstrate models.  Given the CLIQ won’t realty on T-Mobile army until Q4 this year, there’s belike ease whatever impact to be done, but despite the fact that Motorola hit utilised the aforementioned variety of 528MHz Qualcomm processor as crapper be institute on HTC’s past Android handsets, we had no problems with pace or responsiveness.

We’re inactivity for the flooded hands-on ikon room of the Motorola CLIQ to closing processing, and module update with that when it’s ready.  For now, savor the recording demos and check discover this post for more discourse on the CLIQ itself.
