Motorola CLIQ Update 1.4.8 Starts Rolling Out
Mobile phone maker Motorola and wireless carrier T-Mobile have started the deployment of a new update for the users of a Motorola CLIQ handset, namely software update 1.4.8. The new solution comes with a series of improvements for the phone’s battery, touchscreen, and Bluetooth functionality, and others more, the handset vendor announced. However, it seems that the new solution won’t bring Android 2.1 on the device, even if users might have expected for that to happen.
Among the other improvements the new software update 1.4.8 brings to CLIQ, we can count:
- General improvements to text messaging – especially for longer message threads
- Enhances audio quality in certain scenarios in which users experienced issues
- The “End Call” key was relocated within the calling screen to reduce instances of unintentionally ending Active calls
- Improves user interface performance-consistently notifying the user when a new call is coming in which reduces missed call notifications
- Additional device stability reduces occurrence of unresponsiveness and/or programs quitting unexpectedly
- Adds the ability to view documents in Microsoft Office 2007 format.

Video: Motorola Devour gets Demonstrated
Here is a hands-on demo of the Motorola Devour presented by the vice president of Android software and Motorola services, Rick Osterloh.
Osterloh starts off by pointing out the nice slide QWERTY keyboard of the Motorola Devour and then goes on to list the main specs such as half VGA display, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and such. The Motorola Devour’s Qualcomm 600 MHz chipset makes it very fast, and has a lot of speed improvements.

A clear explanation from a VZW connect that outlines how the OTA updates work for the Motorola DROID. At noon today, approximately 1,000 people received the notification to update their handset. At around midnight this evening, 9,000 more will receive it. After the initial 10,000, there is a 48-hour waiting period. No one after that receives anything until December 10th at 12AM, which will be 200,000 people. It will continue at 200,000 devices a day until everyone is updated.
Take a look at the following enhancements that you will be getting on your Droid by Motorla:

The update doesn’t do anything to change the fact the device runs on Android 1.5, but it does bump up the system version to 1.1.31. It does improve battery life and touchscreen sensitivity, better Bluetooth all around, accelerometer refinements and more
