T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ Pre-Order Date Confirmed

Tweet

You surely do remember the Motorola CLIQ don’t you? One couldn’t miss such a phone, not because it’s spectacular, because it really isn’t something else, but because it’s something totally different than what Motorola has done over the last few years. The CLIQ is not yet another RAZR clone set to disappoint the consumers.

The CLIQ is a modern phone and it’s running one of the hottest mobile OS available right now, Google’s Android. And it looks like Motorola has done its job and it has created a phone that fits our current needs. The CLIQ offers a 3.1-inch HVGA resolution touchscreen, a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera with video recording and auto focus, Wi-Fi and lots of social networking solutions included in that custom Motorla UI, MOTOBLUR. So we have a great display, a very useful camera, a keyboard that will fit well with our messaging needs and a bunch of services available at one click away. And we definitely have to be able to check out what our friends are doing and send our own updates via Twitter, Facebook or MySpace.

T-Mobile, the US official carrier of the first Android phone from Motorola, has decided to officially announce the pre-order date for the CLIQ. The phone will be available for pre-sale starting with October 19 so that’s when you should have your credit card ready to order. In the mean time you can register for more info right on T-Mobile’s sight. Of course we’ll probably deliver all the news and rumors about Motorola’s Android phone.

What about pricing you say? Well word on the street was that the Android phone will be available for free if purchased with a new T-Mobile agreement but we can’t confirm any of that at this point in time. Our best guess is that the price of the CLIQ will be on par with the competition’s prices if not slightly cheaper. And if does prove to be available for free on a 2-year contract then there’s absolutely no point for you not to get it.

In case that you hate T-Mobile for some reason then your only shot at a new Motorola Android phone is waiting for Verizon to launch the Sholes which is another Moto Android phone supposed to arrive soon.
