About Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR
CLIQ is Motorola’s first Android device and the first to feature the
innovative MOTOBLUR solution that manages and integrates
communications — from work e-mail to social messaging activity — all
to your home screen. Updates to contacts, posts, messages, photos and
more are streamed together and synced from sources including
Facebook®, Twitter™, MySpace®, Gmail™, and work and personal e-mail.
MOTOBLUR automatically delivers these updates to the home screen in
easy-to-view streams so there is no need to open and close different
mobile applications to keep up with the latest content.
In addition to the unique MOTOBLUR experience, the CLIQ features a
premium design with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a 3.1-inch
HVGA full touch-screen display. The phone delivers a powerful mobile
Web experience by harnessing the strength and speed of T-Mobile’s 3G

auto-focus camera with video capture, a 3.5mm headset jack, a music
player with pre-loaded Amazon MP3 store application, Shazam, iMeem
