[IrishGuy85]

@with33

Yeah I would have to say this phone is WAAAY better then the G1, but thats my opinion :)

[coyotehunter118]

great review...does it have the google maps street view like the g1 where your can turn the phone and it acts like you are actually turning your head looking down a street? thx

[IrishGuy85]

@coyotehunter118

[SaceedAbul]

[IrishGuy85]

[niggrfagot]

[IrishGuy85]

@niggrfagot

[IrishGuy85]

@niggrfagot

wow my first hater!!! I feel so special lol!!

[ifone77]

@IrishGuy85 haha lol nice love how u dont give a shit, and u shouldnt review was great, i just dont know wat to get the cliq or the mytouch 3g slide

[IrishGuy85]

@ifone77

LOL Thanks!! As for your decision on which phone to get... that really just depends on you... just mess around with both and see which one you like better.... Honestly if the slide was out when I got this phone and it was between the cliq and the slide I personally still would have gotten the cliq :)

[ganoing]

can an app be used for all the android versions or do better versoins have different apps than the lower versions

[IrishGuy85]

@ganoing

I believe an app can be used on all the android versons!

[geckofreak909]

can u customize your wallpaper in the cliq

[IrishGuy85]

@geckofreak909

Yep you sure can!!!!

[kkyle336]

Mine's in the mail. So am i going to still need my Ipod Touch? Because this seems to take care of everything for me.. haha

[IrishGuy85]

@sausage4mash

as long as you have wifi phone will be usable, and I pay bout $100 per month for internet and unlimited minutes and texts, and I paid like 300 for the phone.... i wish i got it for $25 lmao!

[aaaaaa3264]

thanks for the niche review! great work!

[Tazy50]

"UMMM"

[ebonygirl24]

Do the cliq have a lanyard port?

[ipodtouchNeRd69]

bloodyflam i got wat u said and thre is a better phone the motorola backflip im gettin it in april

[IrishGuy85]

Hey Ipod touch.... I agree, there are actually PLENTY of better phones then the cliq, BUT the cliq is an amazing phone and if you're at tmobile and are either stuck at tmobile or don't wanna leave, the cliq is a great phone!

[cgnemo]

Hey... is there a way 2 find out when a new update is coming out 4 the motorola cliq?

[supermario908]

@cgnemo theres an update coming in late june for 2.1 android if you have it then can you tell me if its good

[ipodtouchNeRd69]

i gotta wait till october to get a cliq :(

[BloodyFlam]

@ipodtouchNeRd69 there will be way better phones by then. phones will be demolished by the next one that comes out the following week :p

[knox31692]

just got mine today and its thee best phone i ever had and i had alot of phones from blackberry to palms to iphone..and the cliq is the way to go

[mrcloudylungz]

hey great demo. its nice to hear a good review, mine will be here in a week. i would really like to see how well it does using youtube

[mungal23]

@IrishGuy85 does the cliq have the android lock screen

[ThePaperBoy21858]

it doesnt have the one u see on android 2.0 and 2.1 but it has a lock screen where u have to press the menu button to unlock it. its a nice lock screen but the one on the 2.0 and 2.1 is better' in my opinon

[MiggiBx]

i have a droid, but i am doing research... does the cliq carry a flash for the still cam, is the os update-able by Google, does it support office documents, and does it support adobe flash or will it anytime soon?

[SsweetfaceXo]

I'm waiting for mine in the mail also...so does the keyboard light up in the dark?

[IrishGuy85]

yes it does!!!!!! :D

[Touchme1G]

thanks for not putting motoblur, just what I wanted

[IrishGuy85]

anytime :)

[1999manbearpig]

hey hey

[lilterry901]

@1999manbearpig

family guy lol

[Yennababe]

Hey, i ordered the cliq and im just waiting for it to come in the mail, and do you need an internet plan to download applications from the android market and to use the apps? And is the keyboard fast to text on?

[highdensity1]

Once you go DROID, you won't come back to Windows, cause that would be a big mistake. DROID DOES KICK SOME ASS!

[IrishGuy85]

Couldn't have said it better myself lmao

[knucklessg1]

@IrishGuy85 hey, does the keyboard light up? for when it gets dark?

[Teezizzles]

do you kno when the update comes out 4 the cliq?

[IrishGuy85]

I heard that the update should definitely becoming by the end of March

[DATxLATINxKID]

hey im thinking about getting this phone. do you recomend it? i mean i text alot and would enjoy using the internet. without all the moto blur features is this a good phone?

[IrishGuy85]

@DatxLatinxKid

Yes!!! you can turn the motoblur stuff off and it's still an AMAZING phone, I definitely recommend it!!!!

[Mossman90]

i was just wondering is this phone better than the motorola droid phone?

[IrishGuy85]

honestly no I'd have to say the Droid is better only because it has android 2.0, BUT android 2.1 is coming to both the droid and the cliq! So thats gonna be awesome, so once that update happens I'm not sure which phone will be better LOL!

[GabeLaz]

hey man , good review. i have some questions.

im thinking about buy the cliq once tax returns come. im hearing that the screen is very wobbly , is that true ? and , how good is the sound quality when you use your regular headphones on the phone ?

[IrishGuy85]

Hey Aniwantowns2.... Yes it does play youtube videos I actually made a video the day before yesterday showing youtube.... Thanks for watching bro!

[antiwantowns2]

thanks and no prob dude

[111urmom111]

Im getting this possibly today depends when it arrives. But It's a dissapointment that when you turn it to the side (without sliding the keyboard out) It doesn't change to the other view.

[IrishGuy85]

@111urmom111

Good news for you!!! It actually does turn sideways when you turn the phone it's just I have that setting turned off, all you have to do is going into settings, display and security and then check orientation and it'll turn sideways when you turn the phone sideways.... Sorry for the that I should have had that one while making this video, I apologize :)

[puma10nine]

hi

i would like to see the quality of movie videos or youtube clips.

[IrishGuy85]

No problem.... I'll take a video with the phone itself and put it on youtube :) Thanks for watching

[sinforal1]

oh and yea i forgot to say it but it always will drain the hell out ur batt. if u dont press back instead of home cuz all app's run in the background unless iphone haha fail to apple just a heads up if ur power keeps goin out fast just go into older apps andpress the back arrow out till ur at home screen :) good vid again

[sinforal1]

[IrishGuy85]

@superswag96

A video of youtube on the phone as been posted :)

[superswag96]

Can u show us how YouTube works

[hendrickrocks]

Can you show how youtube works

[reyandjazzy]

is the picture of your niece a seperate picture or your wallpaper? if its not how do you add it?( im getting the cliq in a week!=D)

[IrishGuy85]

@reyandjazzy

hey!! Thanks for watching the video and yes it is seperate from the wall paper.... to get a picture frame just long press on the screen that you want the picture on click widgets and then click picture frame and it'll let you select the picture that you want :)

[XxADAM93xX]

The cliq looks gorgeous! Thats whats drawing me to it from my sidekick iD. Anything is better than that.. I could see individual pixels. Haha.

I wanted to find out how touchscreen typing on this phone is? Since its 3.1" not 3.2" does it make a huge difference? Thanks.

[sakuragrl08]

Thanks, this video helps a lot.

[IrishGuy85]

@sakuragrl08 anytime.... let me know if you want me to make another one! :)

[aaronbranson24]

thank u i have seen like 100 vids on moto blur or watever it called. um i would like 4 u to do more on texting(is it threaded messages,can u text on the touch screen,ect) also more about the apps and ya thanks agin

[drummermanryan]

you can use the onscreen keyboard/ virtual keyboard. Its a normal android virtual keyboard like its what you see on the mytouch the virtual.

[32sta]

does anyone know how to get that single photo on the homescreen? not the wall paper but a photo and no not from face book. in this case if was his lovely kid.

[310Sole]

long press on home screen and wait for pop up options, press widgets, and then press on picture frame and you'll select a picture to resize/crop and then wallah! that's it.

[32sta]

thank you very much!

[310Sole]

no problem and you can have multiple picture frames too if you want.

[310Sole]

"Motorola did a great job with this phone "? You mean Google and Motorola because Motorola is only responsible for the hardware and motoblur while Google is responsible for Android which is the OS and App market and along with other Google services that makes the Cliq click.

Just wanted to clarify that and didn't want Motorola to get all the credit.

[datbrasiliankid]

Horrible camera quality..

[IrishGuy85]

@datbrasiliankid

lmao yeah I know.... sorry I will be making another video with a new camera

[latsnowflake]

do u know how to get to the full touch screen keyboard

[Tescarpita]

You turn it to its side.

[IrishGuy85]

Actually you long press on the menu button... it will bring up the touch keyboard :)

[Amburr66]

do u think it wuld b possible to make a video only about texting! its so important to me and i cant seem to find anything about it anywhere

[IrishGuy85]

Yes I will, my computer is not working right now but I will be fixing it soon so I will make a texting video as soon as I can.... Be sure to check back :)

[gne2graff]

You can text on screen on this phone too right? You dont allways have to use the slide out keyboard correct?

[IrishGuy85]

yes you can and i'll make a video of it if you want me to.

[jrnwendi]

How loud is the phone?

[IrishGuy85]

it goes up to level 15 volume.. it's pretty loud. don't know how to describe the volume of it though. let's just say you will be able to hear it lol

[Franklind16]

you need to get a better camera lol . GO for a KOdak zi8 or the flip camera they keep advertising

[johntesoriero]

Thanks for the great video. Is it easy to turn off the MotoBlur to save battery life?

[IrishGuy85]

Hey John!!!  Thanks for watching the video!!! From what I found the only way you can turn the moto blur stuff off is to not set up any accounts when you first get the phone, or if you do you can delete all the blur widgets from the home (ex. status update and happenings) or you can delete the facebook and myspace accounts whenever you want and put them back on whenever you want. I hope this helps!!!!

[Tescarpita]

Yes but that defeats the purpose.

[causa04]

One more question... how is the battery life, because it keeps refresing its content so i was jst wondering if it kills the battery very quick... thanks!! how long does the battery last with a regular use of replaying back on social nextwork and txt messages =)

[IrishGuy85]

Hey causa, all very good questions and thanks for watching the video!!!

Now as far as the 32GB memory goes I'm not quite sure.... I've done tons of research and I haven't found anybody that have had problems as far as that is concerned!!

The GPS there is a month trial and after that month if you wanna use it you will have to pay, but thats what google maps is for!!! LOL! I haven't even activated the GPS because I have google maps which is just as good!

[causa04]

thanks a lot for the info!!! im waiting for the phone to arrive now =)

[IrishGuy85]

Batter life is not at as bad as everybody says!!!! It usually last me a full day even with all that social networking stuff.... Another secret to saving battery life is not to have the screen so bright LOL!!!

Reception is great where I live... the 3G is still new so it's not perfect but it is still pretty fast and I've used google maps from Orlando to Tampa and it gave me no problems!!!!!

[causa04]

do we have to pay extra for the GPS service?! plus, how is your reception and how is the navegation in a 3G connection?! is it fast? The all window capability is pretty cool!. When it comes to recording a video, how good the quality is?! since it doesn't have flash, how clear are the pics in a club scene. I used to have a NOKIA and w/o a flash it used to take amazing pictures w so little lite. Thanks for taking the time to reply!!

[IrishGuy85]

I'm not gonna lie, I haven't used the camera in a club scene environment.... I want to so bad though lol.... I'm not sure when I'll be going to a club again but when I do, I'll take pictures and I'll let you know and even send some to you if you want.... Now the video quality is amazing, I'll take a video and post it on here if you want from the phone.... Let me know, thanks again I hope I answered all of your questions =)

[causa04]

Thanks for the video. Can you tell me if i buy a 32GB memory (max capability for the phone) and its full, would it take forever to retrieve the information. I have seen that you can pull your music fast but at this time you only have 2GB. =)
