The Motorola Cliq firmware 1.4.8 update for T-Mobile USA has a number of enhancements but you must be aware it does not upgrade the Motorola Cliq with Google’s Android 2.1 OS.
Improvements do include better battery life and increased touchscreen sensitivity, other features include enhanced support for Bluetooth, the ability to listen to visual voicemail with a wireless headset and the handset will work better with car kits.
This new update will also give newer versions of Google applications like Google Talk, Maps, Market and YouTube etc. Will also give support for viewing documents in Microsoft Office 2007 with Quickoffice bundled with smartone.

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.

The device runs MOTOBLUR on top of Android 1.5 and is designed as a slate/tablet form factor for T-Mobile. Specs-wise, it uses a similar processor to the MOTO CLIQ. What’s notable is that Motorola included two back battery covers.

It seems that the handset will be priced at $129.99 after a rebate and upon the signing of a two year agreement with the carrier, but users will also be able to purchase it free of contract, case in which they would have to pay $329.99 for it.
The handset is expected to become available for purchase as soon as March 10.

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.

Hands-on video of the Motorola CLIQ XT / QUENCH
Mobile Burn has a review and a video of the Motorola CLIQ XT. Here are the highlights:
The most obvious change is the lack of the CLIQ’s keyboard, which results in the phone being 2.5mm or so thinner. It also feels much more solid, and is better looking to my eyes. The d-pad controller is gone, but has been replaced by a touch sensitive navigation device below the display. The new hardware buttons underneath the display are also an improvement, as is the addition of a flash to the camera.
Overall, it looks like a nice new addition to the Motorola family of Android handsets.
