Motorola Cliq Review: Better Than the Motorola Droid?

The Motorola Droid may be grabbing all the headlines, but it’s not the company’s only — or first — Android-based smartphone. That honor belongs to the Motorola Cliq, which is just about as different from the Droid as an Android-based smartphone could be. And about.com think they like it just a bit better.

Here is part of their review of the Motorola Cliq:

Design

Like the Droid, the Cliq is a slider-style phone, but where the Droid is square and angular, the Cliq is soft and round — and that’s a good thing. I found it much more appealing to look at and more comfortable to hold than the Droid.

When the phone is closed, you see the 3.1-inch touch screen and three touch-sensitive buttons beneath it. The screen is smaller than I’d like, but not so much that it’s unusable. It sports a high resolution (480 by 320 pixels), which helps makes everything look nice and crisp.

The full QWERTY keyboard slides out easily from beneath the display, and is very comfortable to use. The keys are close together, but they’re nicely raised, making them easy to locate and press.

Bottom Line

The Cliq’s Motoblur interface will appeal to social networking fanatics, but anyone else may find it just a bit too much. Underneath that, though, the Cliq is a good-looking, easy-to-use Android phone.
