Move over Iphone, Motorola has done it again and postured well to gain the kids’ attention this holiday season. Have you seen Motorola’s new cell phone device? We haven’t seen anything this cool out of them since the ever so popular Razr, which basically redefined and set a whole standard for the market a few years back. The new device is called “the Cliq’ and hosts a number of power features such as a 5megapixel camera ( iphone is only 3 mega pixels), social networking software allowing ease of use of facebook and email accounts, as well showing friends “status’ on the home screen.

The Cliq, which Motorola unveiled in September, uses Google Inc’s “Android” software – modern, well written operating software that allows many people to do many different things with their phones. Motorola plans to unveil a second Android phone sometime in October.  It will also be available for the holidays.

There are thousands of apps already available for Android software. The phone offers a host of distinctive features that truly set it apart from the IPhone and Blackberry.

Jim Kelleher, an analyst at Argus Research, says “ the Cliq may be Motorola’s best stab at the smart phone market thus far. I think for Motorola to retain its tech edge and reputation for engineering, it really has to hit a home run — not necessary with this particular phone, but with its phones in the coming year, including this one.”

Outside the U.S., the Cliq will be known as the Dext. It will be available through wireless carrier Orange in the U.K. and France, Telefonica in Spain and America Movil in South America.

Good Job Motorola, we would expect nothing less from such a superior organization that defines todays technology trends in PDA and cellular devices.
