Motorola CLIQ (T-Mobile) - Review, Pt 1

[zd111809]

omg i adored this phone when i was using it 

[chiopets]

this phone is some shit. bought it brand new from t-mobile last summer, and had so many problems with it. it started having a ghost screen. the touch screen wouldn't work when you flip the keyboard open. as of right now, the phone doesn't even turn on. #teamiphonenow

[loscali213]

Why does this phone turn off every so often during the day?

[jephrox79]

Why not just try turning off the notification feature on each social networking sites and just update/refresh manually when you do open them.

[78violetfantic]

can i use live wallapapers on this phone?

[lourke123]

@78violetfantic no

[XxForeverxFallenxX]

@78violetfantic yeah you can

[ksefan97]

do you HAVE to have a data plan for this phone? can data just be shut off?

[XJugadorOnlineX]

my phone is this, and I think fairly comprehensive

[Hollaman1000]

[shikamaru959]

@Hollaman1000 the cliq had an update defy will never have one go with cliq

[LittleNinja08]

[joshfig96]

[darkguy709]

I am stuck between the moto cliq and the htc g2 help me decide

[settlepo]

@darkguy709

G2. Easy!

[iCrazyiCuteiCarly]

Do you have to have internet with your plan to have all the widgets (facebook, twitter, myspace, etc.) ?

[beratalbania]

its a nice phone if you root it but stock with 2.1 or 1.5 it sucks

you have to put a custom rom on it to make it better

[zavulon06]

@beratalbania it would be good if it had better processor and ram

[beratalbania]

@zavulon06 yea 1 ghz processor would be awesome...

[elmiles1000]

what android version does this phone run

[jugarnaut40]

@elmiles1000 2.1 (eclair)

[SitUpComedy]

No! Don't get this phone! It sucks! I have it, it lags, freezes, it has android 1.5, and it turns itself off, by its self!

[7Blackhole7]

@SitUpComedy Go to Motorola.com and you can download the 2.1 update for this phone, I just got it and it's been out for a while, its reeally great.

[waelib1]

@SitUpComedy Battery life sucks right?

[SitUpComedy]

@waelib1 Yeah it does! IT'S A HORRIBLE PHONE! EVEN WITH ANDROID 2.1

[loscali213]

@waelib1 What's up with the battery turning off every so often?

[captianx11]

i like how the phone comes with the market and u can download stuff for free

[captianx11]

the phonearena makes every thing bad about it but i like ur review way much more

[mmaxty23]

[burntpotatoXL]

@mmaxty23 i get 500 a day

[xBloodfatherx]

[niesh13]

@xBloodfatherx omg im gettin it now

[etwangboy]

hey great review, but i just wanted to know if this phone was avalible in canada? please reply..

[mmaxty23]

@etwangboy ya this phone is in canada go 2 bell i will say dext not cliq so motorola dext

[MoonlessNight154]

The only good thing about this phone is that it can withstand being thrown against walls.

And yeah the battery life sucks balls but most tmobile android phones do

Like my G1 it was poop

[pspguy007]

not sure to get the dext/cliq g1 has a bad keyboard but definetly soon htc desire z

[LauraVlogz]

cliq or charm???

[Wesmman1]

CLIQ or CLIQ XT?



[ShutTheDown]

@Wesmman1 cliq fosho

well the cliq 2, since it's coming out next year in q1

[ItAtinyWORLD]

@Wesmman1 Cliq, the XT is rlly small

[storyofakid10]

@Wesmman1 cliq

[Santana2163]

Should I get this or the MyTouch Slide?

[martinolatino123]

@Santana2163 Mytouch Slide because it has a 850mhz CPU which is faster than what this has.

[MoonlessNight154]

@Santana2163 NOT THIS PHONE !! My god no I regret it and I have to keep it for another year :/

[OriginalZero]

my friend bought the motorola dext (international version of the cliq) is it possible for him to install the US cliq firmware?

[zachkevinandlos18]

love the intro song

[Neo961]

I'm not sure if I should get the Samsung Corby pro of this phone. They say the Samsung Corby is more for teenagers (which I am) but this phone is a bit cheaper in Canada. Any suggestions? I thought the dext might look like a phone meant for someone a bit older than me :P

[leopurogame]

@Neo961 if you are looking for a faster and better phone get the CLIQ, if you are looking for a good looking phone get the corby pro

[MzGodley1]

how is the battery on this phone? does it go dead quick

[pulpstudio2009]

@MzGodley1 he buddy i have this phone since april and let me tell u it is a great phone and the battery is not that good but u can make it trough a day with a lot of use without need to charge it

[Waldmjef22]

NOAH UR THE BEST

[LaOaSiAnBoI]

i HAVE a cliq it sux it wont go to my msg and its slow i think ill go get a black berry better

[MoonlessNight154]

@LaOaSiAnBoI I agree. I hate my cliq. I am gonna switch to verizon soon though (:

[martymar516]

This phone isn't for me.

[zachkevinandlos18]

@martymar516 its a good phone i didnt like at first untill i got it moto blur sucks but you can turn it off

[zachkevinandlos18]

@martymar516 its a good phone i didnt like at first untill i got it moto blur sucks but you can turn it off its good like 7/10 not bad of a phone not better than the mytouch better than the g1 and the cliq xt the cliq xt sucks

[MoonlessNight154]

@zachkevinandlos18 I have this phone and I give it a 3/10 :P

[wachela6]

should i get the cliq or cliq xt?

[zesbreon]

@wachela6 cliq not xt

[MoonlessNight154]

@OMFGitsVivian THEY HAVE A GRAVITY TOUCH?!?!?!? Dear lord I need it. I loved my Gravity. buttt I busted the screen it wasnt tough enough to withstand falling off of four wheelers or being thrown against walls

but it did withstand being dropped in the shower 3 times xD

[Taleiiqha]

so say you dont have the internet, can you still get messages and peoples status from facebook ?

[blondelillily]

Do you need an internet plan to use the motorblur facebook stuff?

[BamBamIsTooDope]

@blondelillily yep

[iCollectHockeyCardz]

Motorola CLIQ or Motorala BACKFLIP?

Help?

[GiaFireProductions]

@iCollectHockeyCardz the cliq...the backflip will break MUCH easier...or you can get the cliq xt

[kristina220]

How do I turn things off to save my battery? Sum1 please tell me cuz wen I take my phone off the charger n the morning within 30 mintues it's down to 95 percent battery.

[GiaFireProductions]

@kristina220 somerthing app killer lol its a app

[zzzsonic]

It isn't letting me use the market unless i enable it. How do you enable it? Get back to me ASAP please!

[Tazy50]

this phone is nothing like the g1 or sidekick. frankly, its more like the g1 than the sidekick...but this phone is better than both of those phones.

[wweboy678]

How fast does it go. Can u check your youtube with it

[YOOivansterr]

I KNOW you mean " heres the Moto CLIQ running on MotoBLUR " .

[SpeedMaster120]

Motorola Cliq or Mytouch Slide

[YOOivansterr]

@SpeedMaster120 MTS

[inspirongurl17563]

Ok so i need a new phone and i can't figure out the best decision.. does anyone have this phone? becuase this phone is one of my top choices. is it a good phone.. is there anything bad or stupid about this phone?? please help :)

[gamer3925]

who gets the sidekick anymore?

[kingkonggarden]

The G1 was the first Android phone respect it! I dont have it I have the Samsung Moment1!

[aderlin3000]

do you need internet to setup the Google account when you use it for the first time or u could use the wifi to do it

[aliluvz2shop]

I have the sidekick 08 right now and i hate it!

I want this phone better!! If only i can get it without getting an upgrade!!

[rawritsnabila]

im debating between the mytouch slide and the motorola cliq, what do you think would be better, and why?

[killer3878]

@rawritsnabila i would say the slide because well its a newer device and you can root it now in other words make it look like other phones like the evo 4g

[XxVanna805xX]

@rawritsnabila i'm debating between these two phones too ! lol

[SmileForYou22]

@rawritsnabila @ XxVanna805xX Im debating between both as well!

[alamanatu]

does this phone have pinch to zoom?

[chrissy6790]

the sidekick sucks..

[MrCorey266]

what phone i  get my touch or the cliq

[aaronbink]

@BSANONYMOUS how is the keyboard? im thinking about getting it but i txt a lot and i wanna make sure its a good keyboard

[thabeastly]

This or the mytouch??

[djhixson88]

@BSANONYMOUS i ended up getting it lol had it for two weeks now. all the phone that i need. i tend to look for one that runs smooth. which would be the cliq. plus there's the keyboard to lol. which i also like.

[MrVincentRankin]

wat is that light blinking on th top of the phone

[Lexib0oily]

@MrVincentRankin dat meanss yu havee a messaqqe &ndd wen dhee batt is low at 15% iiht blinks until yu put dhee carqer in so dass wat iht is for

[olhappyj]

make a video of G1 vs Motorla CLIQ please

[onion209]

does it have any apps to use or anything

[fishypie101]

i just goit this phone today! its amazing and sooo funN!

[AngelOfSin17]

no you don't need t internet..there is wi-fi enabled but, u would need a free location to pick up a signal..but mostly the things you use need internet ...except text messages, calling etc. but to answer your question..I do not have an internet plan, and I can still do alot of things on it.

[djhixson88]

I just got the my touch. I realized that all touch isn't for me. I'm strongly considering taking it back and getting the cliq. I absolutely have to have a keyboard of some kind. And I love android phones. Should i get the cliq ?

[Howtoplayxbox360]

So for this phone do you need an enternet plan?? someone plz respond to me thanks

[sugarbaby679]

im stuck between the htc, droid, and this i need a fone that has a qwerty as well as a touch but wat i really want is music youtube and facebook and myspace

twitter can burn 4 all i care XD which one is better :o can ne1 tell me which 1 they hav an is it good

[joshie588]

avoid boost mobil servic at all costs

[Grudge20s]

@joshie588 yea i decided to say the hell with the cliq for the boost mobile blackberry... 4 days later i refund the blackberry for an xbox 360 and kept my cliq

[Lovemeornotify]

Motorola has a way with being very slow (i.e. playing catch up with your texts) how does the cliq compair to that? any one any one?

[317msf]

whats better a cliq or htc hd2

[FiSNiKiNSiF]

the moto backflip kills this, my opinion

[Tierehl]

@FiSNiKiNSiF Duh............ It's newer.

[YoungMulahBaby09]

Should i get the Motorola Cliq or the Tmobile Mytouch3g?

[DarkstarrLu]

What do you need to have this phone?

Some sort of data plan or something you have to pay extra money?

Its just standard internet, text and minutes right?

[Flameboy2167]

Can you change the background on the home screen?

[edith6363]

@Flameboy2167 yes

[kaylahh10]

does it have bluetooth..cause i have de hiptop slide && its crap cause u cnt recieve things through bluetooth

[AbsolutZeroGI]

I don't buy a phone until I see a phonedog/droiddog review of it. Thanks a bunch, great review!

[RyanStrauchOfficial]

great phone!!

[fallen1451]

noah you seem like you're excited about motoblur!

[gamerchamp11]

Wow

[gamerchamp11]

NICE

[justin2736]

does it have the app where it grabes butterfingers?

[annabelhihi]

This Phone is nothing like the sidekick, The sidekick is so annoying. Always freezing. I have good expectations on this phone. I hope when i get it, it will be everything i wanted in a phone. My question is if this phone is like the My Touch when yu turn the widgets off.

[Dontrunwithchicken]

is the screen backlit like when in the dark?

[yayTerenceyay]

Can you take out the motoblur?

[Viper7Racer7]

yes you can disable the features

[xV3N0MKO]

whats an android??

[moment4sprint]

wat da flip...wow ur stupidd

[daniellapanget]

im getting this phone but not so sure

[SuperKingdomhearts2]

Should i get this phone or the T-mobile G1

[notnew2dagame]

do not get the g1

[killer3878]

@notnew2dagame why?

[zesbreon]

@notnew2dagame yeah never get the g1 its Super friggin slow

[MoonlessNight154]

@zesbreon LIES ! I loved my G1 I hate my cliq it has fucked up 3 times by itsself :/

[zesbreon]

@MoonlessNight154 lol I upgraded from a g1 from t-mobile, G1 has many bugs but so does the cliq.

[MoonlessNight154]

@zesbreon My G1 didn't have near as many bugs as my Cliq does. It calls people when I am not even touching it. the keyboard stopped working well half of the keys did and then it refused to tell me i was recieving a call. I am on my third one. D:

I am hoping to switch to verizon because tmobile gets terrible service everywhere I go.

[zesbreon]

@MoonlessNight154 :[ either way Lets just say g1 and cliq just sucks. but tmobile is cheap for a service tho.

[FlightSimulation2010]

@zesbreon the cliq/dext does not suck.

[zesbreon]

@FlightSimulation2010 Prove it. CLiqs are terribly slow because of motorola's motoblur making it basically a paper weight.

[LATINOHEATforLIFE]

@zesbreon i have the g1 and its pretty good but it only gets slow when there are too many applications opened and if u add an app for another home page

[ReaperzAirsoft]

@notnew2dagame is this the g1?

[VegitarianVampire17]

@SuperKingdomhearts2

the cliQ, my cuz had the G1 and it is VERY hard 2 get used to on texting and navigating. im getting this 1.

[Bryon414]

how do you delete ringtone that you dont want i tried to look for them in music a and i cant find them

[nickstax]

how do you add apps?

[FlyyBoiiFresh]

android market.

[filipppppp3]

if you live in illinois and you want to buy this phone send me a message because im selling mine it is brand new

[VietnessIsFitness]

for tmobile if i use this phone will they charge me extra for using internet? what about for the g1?

[fonesmart123]

no i have the cliq and they only charge you for 3g coverage...wifi comes free only in certain areas you can use it..

[bellacrazy2008]

does the linking cost money?

[BlazzeDJB7]

So please im really close to buying a cliq I was just wondering is the cliq better then the mytouch?

[HoustonRocket281]

guys im betwwen this 2 phones... mytouch 3g or motorola cliq?which one?

[QueenBossLadyy]

I just had that same dilemma 30 min ago! lol, I picked cliq mainly because of the qwerty keyboard. Mytouch is fully customizable. I'm not complete sure.

But definitely you should look into more reviews on both phones.

[HoustonRocket281]

oh thanx...well i like the cliq but i think ima go with mytouch 3g because is a little smaller...and cute XD

[wweteamextreme]

well i got my cliq last month n its great

o well hope u get 1 of them

[HoustonRocket281]

thanx for you response...

[blakeboy1124]

omg this guy is so dumb he says that he doesnt like it all that much but on another video he said he loves it

[blakeboy1124]

nooooooo0oooo it is nothing like the sidekick..... avoid the sidekick at all costs

[MrCorey266]

@blakeboy1124 the my touch is more cost and thing

[jazzmusicplayer]

@blakeboy1124 what's wrong with the sidekick phone?

[gamer3925]

@jazzmusicplayer its just terrible. dnt get it. its totally out of its time. get an android phone. you'll thank me l8r

[jazzmusicplayer]

@gamer3925 ok thanks for the help, and while were on the subject what do you think of the cliq?

[gamer3925]

@jazzmusicplayer i really want to get it. I just broke my phone today. go figure. so im gonna c if i can get this phone at a good price. if you want a good messaging phone with android, i reccommend this. also theres the cliq xt but tht doesnt have the qwerty keyboard. and theres the mytouch 3g which is only touch but has android. and theres also the mytouch 3g slide which has the keyboard but not android. do some research and you'll c which 1 suits u. good luck.

[gamer3925]

@gamer3925 correction, mytouch 3g slide does have android

[SEXYR68]

can you disable those widgets like the wether and stuff that come in the phone because i dont really like it being in the screen

[Ronzagaz]

@SEXYR68 : yes

[zooyorksk848]

i have t mobile what phone should i get

i text alot so i need a good keyboard

[asiol]

the cliq is good but has like some bugs(well mine) It freezes when you text a lot! so i have to deleted the conversation! other than that is a really really good phone!

[ozzyjessy]

this was not a full review!! you forgot to talk about the pictures and video quality

can somebody please tell me how it is?

I'm about to buy the phone but I'm not really sure because of that

[leabuelo]

n97 mini

or this?

[AbsolutZeroGI]

I bought the cliq based on this review. I signed up for the RSS feed on my news widget based on this review.

Won't buy a phone again without watching the phone/droid dog review first.

Great review thank you!

[sophiaJAB00TY]

is this a good texting phone? is it easy to text? & how is the touchscreen keyboard?

[asiol]

yes its easy to text but it freeze just a little bit

[zanman269]

noah i must know!!!!

the bold 9700 or the cliq??

[ArmandoAlcantara]

Me too. I'm stuck between those two phones as well.

[zooyorksk848]

motorola cliq,blackberry bold 9700,g1

which should i get and why

[bruciie]

@zooyorksk848 hmm G1 or Cliq...thats how i would break it down G1 is much cheaper so if yur looking for price G1 is good

[epod15]

@zooyorksk848 i recommend getting the motorola cliq. yes, the g1 now is a good phone. but the technology the cliq has will last you longer. Plus the CLIQ is getting android 2.1 around April-June.

[fuzzzbaby]

@zooyorksk848 u should get the cliq..no dout=)

[ChristianMusician777]

depends on what you wanna do if ur into messaging and social networking then i wouldnt go with the blackberry just because in my opinion all the stuff about it being media phone is crap. bb's are very business oriented the g1 is giant and really old i would say g1 or cliq if your and adult go with bb or g1 but if ur a teenish young adult go with the g1 or cliq but your call try before you buy

[blakeboy1124]

@zooyorksk848 dont get the g1 it sucks and the screen breaks really easily mine snaped off

[KenLava4]

You shoul get the cliq cuz it has touchscreen and a better qwerty keyboard I mean I like the blackberry but cliq is a little better
