Solid phone for practical people.

Bought it refurbished from an excellent seller. For the US there is an official Android 2.1 update from Motorola giving this handset new life. The keyboard is odd and the battery life is less than desirable (best rooting it to get it to last.) But my only true gripe would be the screen. Such low resolution.

Overall satisfied and would recommend to someone looking for a functional bargain.

Great phone! Would reccomend!

Great phone! Motoblur software it runs is great for an advanced user but can be hard for a beginner android user. Other than that great touch screen, good battery life at 1-2 days usual use, and 3g reception. Awesome phone!

Great value for the money.

The cliq is an excellent smartphone, the phisical qwerty is perfect for write , good 5 mp camera , with zoom (4x w/2.3.7 firmware) , fast capacitive touch , lot of possibilities for apps , games. 2nd android type phone and I love this.

This is a great phone for the novice user, but buy a brand new battery.

Great phone; my fiance and I both own one, and for good reason. Like others have stated, this is an introductory smart phone, but it has all the features required in a smart phone for the average user. It runs on Android 1.5, but can be upgraded to 2.1...you will have to do this yourself if you want to (we did not).

The only reason this phone did not get a 5 star rating is because sometimes it inexplicably died on me, but when I turned it on it had a full battery. This has only affected me twice...when my alarm failed to go off!! Since I have replaced the battery with a brand new one, and no issues thus far.

Some people hate the Motoblur feature, but once you sign up for it (Gmail account will do) and get access to your phone, it doesn't really do anything thereafter...at least I have not used it or even noticed the Motoblur operation once.

Very happy with purchase (~$85.00)!

Pretty good for under 50 dlls, get into the android experience.

Bought this for my mom, I got 2 high end android phones with me but she came out of blackberry and I dont want too much android for her, i got the cliq at about 40 dlls (ebay auction), rooted, unlocked, installed moded rom with latest gingerbread, and its pretty good for the price, makes good quality calls, takes good quality pictures (on decent light conditions), wifi/bluetooth, you can load some apps, if you want to get a phone loaded with apps and games, this is not for you, if you want a phone to make calls/sms, check email, take some ocasional pictures and have all the google android apps functionality (contacts, syncronization, calendars, maps, etc.) at a low price, go for it!
