Motorola Cliq review
Network and connections
Another device from the Motorola house equipped with Google's Android operating system. The technical qualities are very good, starting with the network receiver. It is a GSM Quadband, on frequencies of 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. It also supports UMTS networks in Dual Mode. To exchange data with other devices, Bluetooth is useful, as is the USB cable for syncing with a PC. To browse the Web, instead, you can count on the very fast HSPDA modem. The HTML browser will take care of opening pages.
Design and features
Clean and modest style, carefully crafted lines that remain soft and rounded, to offer more handling ease and comfort. The dimensions are fairly compact, with a thickness of 15.6 mm and a weight of 163 grams. Opening the lateral Slider casing reveals the extended QWERTY keyboard inside. On the front, instead, there is the display, a 3.1-inch TFT capable of displaying up to 256,000 colors. It is equipped with Touch Screen technology, to offer more convenient and intuitive device management. The box includes the data cable and the headset.
