Motorola has finally announced its own Android-powered smartphone. Officially dubbed the Motorola Dext, it will be sold in the US under a different name (Motorola Cliq).
This capacitive touch screen phone also has a sliding full qwerty keyboard.
Motorola Dext/Cliq Specs:
320 x 480 pixels, 3.1 inches
1 GB storage, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM
up to 32GB on microSD
3G/HSDPA 7.2Mbps
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
5 MP autofocus camera @ 2592 x 1944 pixels
Qualcomm MSM7201A 528MHz CPU
GPS with AGPS support
Dext will have a customizable homescreen powered by MotoBlur that continuously syncs your phone and email contacts with your friends from Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Looks like Motorola is banking on a social smartphone.
Battery is rated at 1420mAh, the Motorola Dext will have a retail price of about $400.
Unusual blog post you have here. I hadn’t pondered such.

Thank you!
I really thought Cliq is the second Adnroid from Motorola but it turns out Cliq and Dext are just the same. lol
Nice price with nice specs! hopefully it arrives here!
The specs look good– on paper.
:/ I wish we could get user reviews for it soon, though. I want to know if it’s all it’s cracked up to be.
I would consider that, wifi nice blackberry storn don’t have a wifi yet
yeah…yeah…The Cliq is a beautiful piece of hardware, but it suffers from features creep. Too many options are jammed into a skin that, quite frankly, can’t handle them. There’s a reason why the iPhone, the Pre and even the G1 have done so well — the user interfaces are simple and elegant, and they can be learned without an instruction manual. Motorola screwed up with Blur — it adds an obtuse layer of functionality to a device that does not need it.
Moto admits the phone can be overwhelming at first, but claims the complete customization of social networking sites like Twitter, MySpace and Facebook are worth it. We disagree. Let people pick and choose what social networking sites they want to use on their phones and download apps that best serve their needs. An additional skin like Blur just over-complicates things.
Motrola, hear us out: You guys are not doing well right now. You make great hardware and crappy software. If you want phone buyers to take you seriously, keep producing excellent handsets like the Cliq, load them with top-notch operating systems (Android FTW!) and let it be. People will start buying your products again.
Nice. Will it reach the Philippines? Can’t wait to get a hold of an Android Phone. They’ve got 2 more phones that has Android OS on it. Motorola Shoals and Morrisson.
nag-open na ba ulit ang Motorola Phil.
I hope this will be available by december. Nice price for its kind of phone.
It’s good to know that more and more mobile phones are adapting to Android. With the increase in its usage will bring more high-quality Apps for the Andriod.
wow. i think this is the last string of cards for motorola since they hit jackpot with razr model. when will this be available in the phil? based on the online video in another site it is more responsive compared to other andriod handsets.will they also release another phone, yuga?
