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 The d-pad controller is gone, but has been replaced by a touch sensitive navigation device below the display.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.

The update rolling out over the next few days is designed to address battery life, GPS, and the touchscreen.
CLIQ users: an update is coming this week w/ enhancements for battery life, touchscreen, and GPS. We’ll alert you when you can download it. – MotoMobile

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.

What is this mysterious Motorola Android device?
The guys at mobile.cz somehow managed to scrounge up this shot, and they’re calling it the Motorola “Zeppelin”.
According to the original source, its packing a 5 megapixel camera, a 3.2″ HVGA display, GPS, and Android behind Motorola’s BLUR user interface. It also looks to have touch sensitive keys, and what is either a D-pad or a touch sensitive trackpad right below the screen.
It’s a bit lower end than the Droid, but a bit higher end than the CLIQ.
