We have witnessed Motorola always come back hard and strong in US with its streak of QWERTY pack Android cell phones, although they have been quiet in the touch screen only section. The Motorola CLIQ with T-Mobile, its latest Android phone from veteran phone manufacturers takes everything that we love on the phone and removes the QWERTY keyboard. Coming up is the Motorola CLIQ XT, which sports social networking with MOTOBLUR interface.
In the box is
• Charger
• Motorola CLIQ XT
• 2GB micro-SD card pre-installed
• Hands-free Headset
• USB Cable
Design:
The candy bar styled phone sports the two-toned color scheme, its black plastic on its back and front blends well with chrome bezel. It is quite a unique handset. It comes with two back covers that are soft touch available in its packaging one cover is completely purple the other is textured black. This phone is bulky but its general look; it is lightweight and does not cause any distraction inside the pockets the candy bar design gives the CLIQ XT solid built feel all around with no worry of the device breaking. The Motorola CLIQ XT, has a 3.1” LCD touch screen with a resolution 320x480 pixels 262k colors. The colors are vibrant and strong. Lights are good making it easy to read text messages but in direct sunlight, it is almost impossible to see anything on the screen. The CLIQ XT has four physical keys below its touch screen. Despite its lack of division between each key, since they built inside the surface, it still provides decent tactile responses. The dedicated side buttons on the phone were difficult to figure out by our fingers because they flush on the surface. 3.5mm headset port can be, found on its top side whilst micro USB port found on its left. The back of the handset is the 5-megapixel, auto-focus camera with a LED flash and the speaker found over it behind the back cover is the micro SD slot, battery 1420 mAh and SIM card slot.
Interface & Functionality:
The CLIQ XT does not allow using in a landscape view even tilting to any side does absolutely nothing. It does allow for almost seamless integration to most popular social network services like Twitter and Facebook. These consistently update, the interface does allow users access to some common features right from its home screen instead of launching separate application. In general, there is some lag still in the performance.
Without a doubt, though the CLIQ XT eclipses the majority of its higher-end Android counterpart at its messaging department including those that have physical keyboard. The Android keyboard has quick response with automatic text predictions. the speed typing are responsive and quite accurate in the CLIQ X. in short the Motorola CLIQ XT very easily take the gold for the messaging feature of Android. Sweetening our experience on the CLIQ XT, surprisingly it offers the support for Flash Lite allowing YouTube videos automatically play inside the browser.
Camera & Multimedia:
The camera’s interface is simple, but it has one cool feature where you take the picture it will display the location information then integrate it to the filename. It comes with a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera. Takes good pictures in good lighting flash also allows for great pictures colors are bright and saturated. Unfortunately, the videos that where taken from the CLIQ XT were not as good as the details of the photos that taken but it was passable. The shooting resolutions are 480x320 at 24fps video quality is okay.
The Connected Music Player has a number of rich features making it stand out from the rest. TuneWiki that even allows lyrics to be, displayed as the song played almost something like karaoke powers the music player. Audio quality out of the speaker was average nonetheless; it did not appear straining or crackling too much even on highest volume.
It has 2GB microSD card pre-installed. It does accept microSD cards right to 32GB.
Connectivity:
It runs on 3G speeds across T-Mobile's network as it does have tri-band UMTS 900/1700/2100 MHz connectivity. Additionally to offering Wi-Fi as an alternative for wireless connection, CLIQ XT also features Bluetooth 2.0 for simple file transfer to another device and pairings to headset.
Performance:
Conversing on the device with someone was pleasant experience since the voices on either ends sounded distinct and clear without static background noises. It lacked on the speaker performances even when the volume was on its highest setting. While using its speakerphone the voices sounded high pitched than liked.
Connection to the T-Mobile's network went without any loss of signal strength or even dropping calls through our testing.
Battery lasts throughout a complete workday an intensely 8 hours. The manufacturer rated 4.5 hours talk time 500 hours standby time.
Conclusion:
Even though it lacks in QWERTY keyboard the CLIQ XT's advanced messaging capabilities obviously make it go straight at the top of its heap with the responsive touch and feel. The software clearly differentiates the CLIQ with the multi-touch support, and Flash Lite to watch YouTube files and music player.
