Could Moto’s Android go the way of Razr? Analysts hope not
Motorola unveiled its Devour Android phone, part of its Google Android portfolio. Motorola aims to launch 20 such phones this year. But will it suffer the same fate as the Razr, which was wildly successful but then suffered with overkill?
Schaumburg-based Motorola Inc. this week unveiled another in its new portfolio of Google Android smartphones. This one was called Devour, featuring a touch screen, a keyboard and its MotoBlur application to harness social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Devour follows Cliq, Droid and Backflip. They’re all with the same Android platform and MotoBlur app. But let’s hope the Android line doesn’t go the way of the Razr, offering just a variation on the same theme until users get tired of them.
Devour does distinguish itself with a new touch-sensitive navigation pad in the lower right corner to navigate widgets and the Internet.

HTC to lose #1 Android market share as Motorola sweeps in to take 2010?
- Image via CrunchBase
Wow, what a difference a year makes. It wasn’t that long ago that we were sounding the death tone for Motorola. A company that had risen so high with their popular Razr cellphone several years back and fallen into a black hole of a slump, churning out crappy and unoriginal handsets left and right. And then came Android with it’s open architecture and high level of customization that helped Motorola find their groove again when they released the Motorola DROID back in November of 2009.
As many of you know however, the DROID isn’t Motorola’s only Android device. Here in the states they’ve also got the Cliq and Backflip with many more in the wings. It is this momentum and laser focused attention on Android and Android only that is paving the way for Motorola to take over the title of #1 Android manufacturer from HTC.

Motorola Android Cliq Software 1.3.8 Leaked, Official Update Coming Soon?
Motorola had “accidently” released a test version of the update (Software version 1.3.8) for the Motorola Cliq. According to the description of the update, software 1.3.8 included improvements to the battery life, touchscreen sensitivity, improved GPS tracking, a new option for assigning functionality to a double-press of the home button, and more. As quickly as the update was leaked, it was soon pulled after approximately 15 mins. What does this leak mean? Well, it could mean that Motorola Cliq owners could be getting an official update pretty soon.

Unofficial ROM update brings FM radio to Motorola Android CLIQ / DEXT
A known Android firmware tweaker who calls himself “Eugene373” was fiddling about running an LG ROM on his Motorola CLIQ and discovered that it was possible to convince the CLIQ to use the LG ROM’s radio APK files to boot up an as-yet unused and undocumented FM radio on the Motorola Android phone.

Android 2.1 spied on the Motorola Milestone (Droid)
Motorola announced during CES that their CLIQ (Dext) and Droid (Milestone) phones would be updated to Android 2.1, but we have yet to receive a time frame. Enough people have been asking Motorola about the update that they responded on Twitter:
“Guys, we’re sorry; we know you are excited about 2.1 updates to your Moto Android-based products, but we can’t comment on official timing.”
There are rumors that the latest Android 2.1 build was in beta testing and now some screens have leaked out. German site MobiFlip has posted the first screens of Android 2.1 running on the Motorola Milestone (Droid). They refer to the update as 2.0.2, but the screens show firmware version 2.1 .

Motorola DEXT/CLIQ review
This Android Life has a review of the Motorola CLIQ, here are some of the highlights:
The DEXT is a solid performer, all of the functions I’ve played around with have been nicely responsive (probably a little more responsive than the initial, pre-patch release of the HTC Hero was), although flipping between homescreens occasionally lags slightly. The slideout keyboard is tactile and straightforward to use, even though the keys are all squeezed pretty closely together, causing me to have the odd fumbled keypress. I actually found the software keyboard preferable. In fact, I found I generated fewer typos typing with the DEXT’s software keyboard than I seem to with my HTC Hero’s software keyboard.
Overall, whilst the DEXT isn’t up there with the best of the Android handsets such as the Hero or the formidable DROID, it’s still a very solid performer. There’s not much to fault in the phone, other than it’s slightly disappointing looks and uninspiring camera. The Motoblur take on contacts and social networking is innovative and plays on one of Android’s great strengths – being constantly connected. So, whilst it’s not a world-beater, the DEXT is undeniably a good addition to the Android stable.

T-Mobile Losing Interest In Motorola Cliq?
While hype for the Motorola Cliq was high, sales of the phone have unfortunately turned out to be unexpectedly low. So low in fact, that Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron says T-Mobile has actually lost interest in the device–due in part to lingering issues with battery life. T-Mobile spokeswoman Alexandra Trask told FierceWireless that sales have been positive and disputes reports that Cliq sales were “falling behind sales targets.” Confirming a future OTA update for the Cliq, no detail was given regarding what would be addressed in the update or whether or not battery life was a prime reason for the update. Trask also denied reports of the device receiving less support, stating that “It’s very prominently featured in our stores. We’re doing a lot from a marketing perspective and merchandising perspective.”
