Motorola Cliq

By: admin

The first word to come to mind when you look at the Motorola Cliq is “Wow !”. Motorola has come back with its new Cliq ( also called the Dext ) model and given us a winner. Read on to find out more details on Motorola´s first smartphone to be used with Android.

The looks of the Motorola Cliq are decidedly iPhone-ish. The size is also comparable to many smartphones. It is 4.49 inches tall by 2.28 inches wide by .63 inches thick. For those in the metric system, it is 114 millimeters tall by 58 millimeters wide by 16 millimeters thick. It is only just slightly fatter than many smartphones, but not by much. It is not at all heavy or light, it comes in at 5.84 ounces ( 166 grams ). The Cliq also comes with a manual keyboard that is great to use and feels good when in use. It has four rows and a large Dpad to boot.

The screen on the Cliq is the average-sized 3.1 inches. It is the older style TFT version of displays. It has the common 320 by 480 pixels of resolution and provides good clarity. It is the capacitive touch style of screen so no stylus is needed. It does not come with multitouch, but it does have an accelerometer that allows you to automatically turn the screen three ways to suit your needs. Just turn the smartphone on its side to change from portrait to landscape modes.

The WebKit browser is very high quality in the Motorola Cliq. This model comes with Wi-Fi, and those two together make for a good web surfing experience. A thing to watch out for is the speed. Other smartphones have come out that have more speed than the Cliq. This model has a “MSM7201a” processor that runs at 528 megahertz. Newer phones available today have a processor that runs nearly twice that fast. Its like choosing between a porsche or a volkswagen; how much power do you want ? But the 256 megabytes of RAM memory and the 512 megabytes of ROM memory do a lot to help keep the Cliq from running behind under high workloads. For external memory space, Motorola included the popular MicroSD slot. It can hold a maximum of 32 gigabytes of your files. The Cliq comes with a two gigabyte card included.

The other connections for the Motorola Cliq are quad band GSM and tri band WCDMA bands. The data connections include all services but infrared. Wi-Fi has the maximum “B” and “G” modes, but no “N” mode. Seven different bluetooth profiles are supported. The “hard-wired” connector is a regular MicroUSB cable.

The camera can take photos with a resolution of five megapixels. Autofocus, white balance, geotagging and color effects are some of the abilities of the camera. It can take videos at an impressive twenty five frames per second. The audio hardware includes stereo speakers, a receiver speaker, a microphone and a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. A music player is included.

Motorola has included their “Motoblur” user interface to provide a better experience when navigating through the Cliq. This includes something called “Happenings”. This is a program particular to Motorola that shows what is “happening” with the people in your contacts list. When anyone, including people who are not on your contact list interact with your sphere of contacts, it shows up on the Cliq screen. This, in a nutshell is the “Happenings” program, also called a “widget”. It definitely needs refining at the moment, but no doubt will get an update soon. The Motoblur is installed over the existing Android operating system. At the moment this is an extremely hot topic. Around 300 or so new applications are developed for the Android operating system daily. As of this writing 30,000 android applications are available to be installed on the Motorola Cliq. We like the one that can scan barcodes and give you price information from the internet. It saves money ! All the popular social applications are included on the Android platform.

The Motorola Cliq is available in one color; titanium. At the present, you can get it for around ten dollars with a service plan.

Motorola DROID- Queer Yet Beautiful

By: admin

Motorola is a great company they have manufactured many great looking cell phones, the Motorola DROID is yet another of the beautiful creations.

It is a queer yet beautiful cell phone, it has angular slopes and hard edges, it is a mix or metal and plastic, it looks solid and expensive as well. Though the Motorola Droid is heavy but the materials are soft and it has gold highlights. T

he cell phone is made of two vital pieces, the top half is the large glass display and the lower half is the slightly longer keyboard. The screen is 3.7 inches and fills the space from edge to edge, there are four buttons at the bottom of the display these are search, menu, back and home.

The order of these buttons is random.

The top portion of the Motorola DROID slides in a smooth fashion upwards to reveal the keyboard however, it does not snap automatically into place. A little force is required then the top clicks once settled.

The keyboard is wide and has minimum space between the keys. The Motorola DROID is not all that thick yet it accommodates a larger screen and an actual physical keyboard is pretty commendable.

The Droid is fitted with a 5 mega pixel camera that is teamed with a LED flash; the camera is very slow at snapping pictures and to focus as well. The lens does not take clear pictures of close objects even in daylight.

Generally the results of the pictures the Motorola Droid takes is anyone’s guess, all in all the process can be very nerve racking and that’s something a person does not want.

The Motorola DROID has one of the best sound systems around, it is crystal clear and that’s what pleases everybody.

Motorola motoroi

By: admin

Motorola lovers are going to be swooning when they see the latest public offering of the Motoroi. Currently Korea is the only country to have this phone, but we will be taking a quick review of it anyway with some stealth searching. The phone will be in the United States in the Spring, just a few months away.

To start with the basics, the Motoroi comes with an eight megapixel camera. This amount of megapixels beats such phones like the flagship from Nokia and others, including the last Android phone from Motorola. The camera does come with a video feature, rated at 720p. It has a 3.7 inch WVGA display screen which is not bad. Other competitors have trivial differences in the sizes of their screen, incuding Apple products. This smartphone can be hooked up to a television screen with its HDMI output. HDMI can be used for High Definition TV and super quality audio. The screen on the Motoroi is capacitive touch and is superior to the other touch screen styles.

The Motoroi has no slide out keyboard. It is very similar to other smartphones that only use their screen for input from the user. This smartphone has something that some others do not; the ability to receive digital television broadcasts. You can also receive FM broadcasts with the included FM radio. The GPS functions are included, as they are with all handsets. This will allow you to use many handy applications that you can use to track your goals and activities during the day. There is a regular-sized 3.5 headphone jack for your listening convenience. The internal memory of the Motoroi is eight gigabytes and you can increase this with a thirty two gigabyte SD card.

The form of the Motoroi is for all respects the same as other models that have no manual keyboard. This is true with one strange exception. It has a “bump” of sorts on the lower right hand side of the unit. Perhaps Motorola just wanted to look different from the others in the rapidly burgeoning world of the smartphone ? For whatever reason, if you see this characteristic out on the street, you can know you are looking at a Motoroi.

The inner workings of the Android Operating System are where the Motoroi reaches its users. The android interface is a 2.0 version of the software from google. The system is constantly being upgraded, but as of this writing its strong points are the Eclair screen interface. If you have a model from Europe, this allows you to touch the screen in multiple places to navigate. If you do not have a European model it is likely you will not have this feature fouind with Eclair. Nevertheless, you do get the famous google maps, and the navigation abilities from this powerful program. Android is also strong in its menus.This makes navigating with the Motoroi is a breeze.

While Motorola as a whole has been on the downswing lately, it has proved to have put out a fairly powerful product with the Motoroi. But with its latest entry, the Motoroi is a close equal to every other competitor. Motorola has been around since 1928. They became popular with cellphones in 2004. This smartphone proves they are still a viable company in the world of cell phones. Nearly everyone who knows what a cellphone is remembers the Razr with some fondness. This new phone puts Motorola back on the road to stardom. If you are not in Korea, look for this smartphone in March.
