american teleproviders like to price gauge way too much.

199 at launch

99 in 6 months]]>Sep 15th 2009 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 15th 2009 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 15th 2009 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/
I want this phone alot. (coming from an iPhone which I'm SICK of)

and I wish t-mobile would release such a deal here. but let's be honest any mobile provider that thinks they have a winner on their hands will want to charge as much as possible.

i mean the iPhone has basically throttled the competition into selling devices for 200 bucks (except for professional devices such as touchpro 2) and i don't see someone bucking that trend.

it's really our sad state of cell contracts in america which has brought about this problem. companies do not want to have deal with the american market if they can do a ok in europe, nokia and sony ericsson release only a fraction of their phones here in america and that too very late compared to their EU releases. if people were not alien to the thought of paying 4-500 dollars for a quality (read: smart) phone, the Xperia X1 would have done great here, the CDMA business (which is ridiculously antiquated) would have long since folded and we'd have plenty of GSM/WCDMA network providers here who actually gave a damn.

then contracts would actually offer something very enticing to the consumer. we've basically been forced into believing that we will absolutely HAVE to spend 200 dollars on a quality phone and absolutely HAVE to have a long term contract if we are to not have to deal with flip phones.

disgusting. isn't it?]]>Sep 16th 2009 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/]]>Sep 16th 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 15th 2009 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 15th 2009 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/But unfortunately, our US operators do not offer different contracts to make expensive phones free. ]]>Sep 15th 2009 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Look at all the previous free on contract phones. Any of them any good? And I mean just* released free on contract phones. Not something that was initially good when it came out, and now has been surpassed by newer phones; and has been put on free on contract.
Plus its a Motorola. So you could pay someone to take it, and it would still be lame.]]>Sep 15th 2009 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 15th 2009 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 16th 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/

A smartphone? For free?

T-Mo charges $199 w/ 2 yrs for the myTouch

and now $99 w/ 2 yrs for the myTouch with Oprah's promo.

Orange charges $0 w/ 2 yrs for the myTouch.

It seems fair to say the Cliq will be on the lower end btwn $99 and $199 unless T-Mobile and Moto go balls to walls with this one.]]>Sep 16th 2009 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 16th 2009 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 16th 2009 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/Sep 16th 2009 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/motorola-dext-promised-to-orange-uk-in-early-october-free-on-co/
