COMPARISON: HTC EVO 4G VS. MOTOROLA DROID
KEY DIFFERENCES
4G: The HTC Evo 4G is the first phone on a U.S. network to boast 4G connectivity, making it capable of connecting to Sprint’s WiMax network (where available) and enabling the device to reach peak download speeds of over 10 Mbps and peak upload speeds of 1 Mbps. In areas without 4G connectivity, the EVO will still operate on Sprint’s 3G network. Of course, the Motorola DROID connects to Verizon’s speedy 3G network.
Power: The Motorola DROID is a powerful device in its own right, but succeeding the DROID by a number of months, the EVO 4G is at the top of its class, armed with the latest processor and more RAM. The EVO 4G has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 512MB of RAM, while the DROID has a 550MHz processor and 256MB of RAM. While the difference may not be significantly noticeable in most day-to-day operations (e.g. checking email), the EVO 4Gwill outperform the DROID, particularly when many applications are running simultaneously.
Display: Like the HTC HD2 (T-Mobile), the HTC EVO 4G is equipped with a huge and gorgeous 4.3-inch touch sensitive 480×800 pixel display. The screen real estate makes the EVO 4G an ideal entertainment device — perfect for watching movies, browsing the web and even reading eBooks. The Motorola DROID also has an impressive and sizable 3.7-inch touch-sensitive display, and with 480×854 pixels, is slightly higher resolution and has significantly more pixels per square inch due to the display’s size differential.

Motorola Cliq firmware 1.4.8 update, consumer reviews
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.

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.

T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ XT Price and Photos Emerge
The Motorola CLIQ XT has been already expected to arrive at T-Mobile as a rather affordable device, and a leaked document the guys over at TmoNews grabbed recently shows exactly that. 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.

Hands on T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ XT (Quench)
We expect T-Mobile to launch the CLIQ XT March 10, 2010 and we are still waiting on a price. This phone is essentially the same hardware of the original CLIQ minus the physical keyboard, so expect it to land somewhere around $149 with 2 year contract.
Unfortunately, the device will ship with Android 1.5 which does not support many of the new native applications from Google.

Motorola Cliq XT: Another Android Phone Lands on T-Mobile
If you’re an Android fan, the network to be on in the US is clearly T-Mobile. At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Motorola revealed its eighth Android phone, the Motorola Cliq XT (as it will be known stateside) or Quench (its name everywhere else). The Cliq XT will land on T-Mobile next month. Pricing hasn’t been confirmed.
Like the Cliq, Motorola’s first Android device in the US, the Cliq XT runs Motorola’s MotoBlur user interface over Android 1.5. A big difference between the Cliq XT and its sibling is that the XT lacks a physical keyboard. The Cliq XT has a 3.1-inch touchscreen, which is a bit small compared to other smartphones on the market, Flash Lite support, and pinch-and-zoom capabilities in the browser. It also sports a 5-megapixel camera and comes preloaded with all of the Google services you’d expect on an Android phone.
