The HD2 or any Snapdragon phone is obviously high end. The HD2 is supposed to $750 USD when it launches.]]>Oct 14th 2009 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Although by $750 I'm sure you mean the unsubsidized prize, and that isn't all that important to me.
The HD2 shouldn't go above $350 on 2yr contract. ]]>Oct 14th 2009 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 14th 2009 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/

I don't think I've read a single review that says otherwise.]]>Oct 14th 2009 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/I have a Hero and a Pre. I still gotta say the Pre is better. Anroid is cool, and all, but not primetime.
Pre > Hero > CLIQ > G1]]>Oct 14th 2009 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/
But again, I've read several professional reviews saying the Hero is better than the Pre and none saying the Pre is better.

In what way is Android not primetime? WebOS is not going to survive in this market...seriously your app market is taking forever to take off.

Android is the future...just wait and see, competing with a good Open Source platform is very difficult.]]>Oct 14th 2009 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Android]]>Oct 15th 2009 12:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Dec 13th 2009 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 14th 2009 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 14th 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 14th 2009 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 14th 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/
Phone seems decent, MOTOBLUR looks cool, maybe I can get that on my new Hero. :D]]>Oct 14th 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 15th 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 16th 2009 5:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Either way, good for Motorola to dump WinMo and go with Android. More and more companies will be doing the same thing, WinMo is rotten fruit.]]>Oct 14th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 15th 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/
Zune? the Zune is pretty much in the toilet, MS had to withdraw the entire line up from the market because sales collapsed. Now it is barely clinging onto life with the Zune HD. WinMo, well, this week Microsoft played Russian roulette with Project Pink and lost. WinMo 6.5 gets nothing but bad reviews and all manufacturers are leaving it. Windows 7 won't be able to uplift the decline that Vista started, etc. As for Office, that's Microsoft's golden goose.]]>Oct 15th 2009 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/And to be honest, I don't see why anyone who wants a halfway decent phone would ever think twice about Motorola, so if they choose not to continue to produce WinMo handsets, then it's hardly any great loss.

As for manufacturers 'leaving' WinMo (if, as I said before, continuing to produce WinMo handsets can really be taken to be 'leaving'), it's customers that count.
Even if there's slightly fewer handsets on the market, if customers continue to buy WinMo phones then MS don't have too much to worry about. And if you peruse WinMo fora such as XDA-devs, you'll find that a lot of people have no intention of moving to another OS.


Regarding the rest of your post, yes Vista was poor but it hasn't hurt MS's market position in any great way and what harm it has done will be healed by Windows 7, especially given the way in which MS allow a lot of Vista users to upgrade, even for free in some cases (which is a concept that I doubt has ever crossed the minds of Apple when it comes to rolling out their 'service packs', sorry, I mean OS 10.whatever).
The Zune was always going to struggle due to how late it was to the market but it has a dedicated-enough following from people who actually care about how their music sounds, as that's one area that iPods have always under-performed. All MS really need to do now is sott out releasing the Zune in other countries - which is not to say that it'll overtake Apple in terms of sales, merely that it would no longer be 'clinging' to life as you so succinctly put it.]]>Oct 15th 2009 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 15th 2009 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 14th 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 14th 2009 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 15th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/Oct 16th 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/
I know you guys are stacking this up against your typical smartphone, but I see this as a featurephone competitor meant to steal away tweens. Yes, it packs Android, but the Shell seems aimed to outdo your current featurephone options. So as long as they price this well, i.e. featurephone territory, it should do really well. On a flip note, I just don't see this attracting your typical smartphone buyer that wants functional sleekness and sophistication.]]>Oct 14th 2009 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/motorola-cliq-review/
