Nothing is new, just the way it is packaged, and all platforms seem to be moving towards the unification of regular messaging and social networking.

All in all, i guess i would expect this post from engadget, I guess it really is just another blog in the end, kind of dissapointing.]]>Sep 15th 2009 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/
So it's not about how good the phone is now, it's about the lifespan of the OS' unique features, and how those unique features might be what leads to its failure. But it's just an opinion.]]>Sep 15th 2009 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/
You're assuming that BLUR can't keep up with the changes in both the social networking communities that are available and the functionality that each community provides. That's a big assumption. Take another look at the BLUR announcements and you'll see that it's very flexible.

Why?

What, exactly, was the goal for this post? I'm not trying to be mean or to troll, so please don't take it as such, but the entire content of the post can be summed up as "Motorola chose to target the Social Networking section, and this might not be a perfect implementation."

I don't think anyone thought it would be, but I'm struggling to figure out why this should be a revelation to anyone? I am absolutely in love with the CLIQ and everything it stands for, and even I know it will have a variety of flaws.]]>Sep 15th 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/
The Gmail app for BB is quite excellent, having used it for the past two weeks I'm very happy. If you're on a Blackberry Enterprise Server (most BB users are), you don't need IMAP support since it tracks message reads and syncs automatically.

It is a shame the device doesn't support HTML better, but then again it does a good job of stripping content out and displaying it for easy reading, so I don't often miss it.]]>Sep 16th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 16th 2009 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/]]>Sep 15th 2009 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 16th 2009 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/Sep 15th 2009 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/switched-on-how-motorolas-cliq-could-start-to-drag/
It may be a niche... but it is a niche that spends and buys a lot of phones these days (after all kids tend to be careless with their phones), and one that they can be less concerned with competing with "everything else" out there. They just need to be better than a SideKick or other low end smart (and semi-smart) phones.

It's just another shoddy Motorola with some widgets.
On T-Mobile! For that matter.
Just because Moto slapped Android on this thing last minute.
