Breaking News: Motorola MOTOBLUR and Motorola Cliq Announced

Motorola announces Motorola CLIQ, w/ MOTOBLUR, the first phone with social skills. Motorola today unveiled some pretty expected news. Yes, its focusing on a line of Android powered smartphones and the first phone up is the new Motorola Cliq. Read on…

Basically, everything comes to you in one feed – whether someone is contacting you through Social Networking Sites like Facebook and Twitter or via Text Message or Email no worries. It will all come in one steady stream so you get your information when you want it at your fingertips. No opening and closing of apps and menus, it’s the right way to communicate and more efficient.

Built in live widgets puts content right at your fingertips. Customizable home screen (reminiscent of HTC Hero’s Sense UI isn’t it?) makes your device totally yours. Examples of widgets on home screen include: Social Status widget with streaming updates; Happenings so you know what’s going on with people in your network, their status updates, photos etc; and even a messages widget.

The whole goal is to make your social networking life and real life easy and all in one place and easily accessible.

Basically Sanjay Jha says the whole point of MotoBlur is to be WORRYFREE!

Integrated GPS and remote data wipe options allow you to find your device or erase it if it is ever lost of stolen. Most importantly, your data remains safety stored on MOTOBLUR servers. Is this good or bad? I don’t know but you know one thing … big brother is watching. …

Some additional details on the Motorola Cliq – it has a slide out qwerty keyboard and will be available exclusive at T-mobile as Motorola Cliq.

This is the next chapter of Android. T-Mobile is leading in Android phones aren’t they? The Cliq will come in 2 colors winter white and titanium black and T-Mobile certainly expects it to be one of the hottest selling devices for this holiday season.

Plus a 5 megapixel camera with video speed and record at 24/30 frames per sec for playback and upload on Youtube. I am so happy about that camera. That’s awesome.

The phone will have a standard headphone jack … not like G1 or the myTouch 3G which is another good thing. And of course pre-loaded with tons of goodies from Google like the html browser and other google services like access to maps, gmail, and of course thousands of apps in the Android Market.

MOTOBLUR will be going global and so will the Cliq. But the device will be named Motorola Dext overseas and will be out in 4th Quarter with Orange UK in France as well as in Spain and Latin America. Finally, there are many more MOTOBLUR devices to come … this is just the first one.
