Android Firmware 1.3.18 for Motorola Cliq Brings Issues Along
Mobile phone maker Motorola has recently delivered a new software solution for their first Android-based handset, the Motorola Cliq. The software update 1.3.18 was released over-the-air for all users of a Cliq on T-Mobile, and it seems that the firmware created a lot of issues, tough it was supposed to solve others.
However, a wide range of T-Mobile customers are already reporting on the forums that there are a lot of issues the new solution created, and that some of them are rather serious problems, it seems. Among the issues Cliq owners are reporting on the forums, we can count a problem with the date/time, (set at 31 December 1969 and cannot be changed); problems with the touch keyboard; force close error for Google Voice; issues with the text messages; Gmail, calendar and contacts are also not syncing; or battery life problems. At the same time, there are also some reporting that, following the update, the following message was received, “Error Signing Into account: There is a problem with the clock on the device. Please contact customer service.”
According to the mobile phone carrier, they are aware of the situation and are working on resolving the problems as soon as possible.

Motorola Devour – Cnet Review
The Motorola Devour got 3.5/5 stars from Cnet.
THE GOOD: The Motorola Devour has a sturdy design with a functional feature set and a spacious keyboard. It’s a good performer too.
THE BAD: The Motorola Devour runs Android 1.6, and its display is small for the phone’s size. The placement of some controls could be improved, and the camera has few features.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The Motorola Devour is built to last and it delivers on features and performance. We’d make a few usability changes, and we were hoping for more than Android 1.6, but Moto makes another good Android move.
Full review on Cnet.
