Motorola Cliq 2 pictures hit the outside world?
What, you didn't forget about the Cliq series, did you? The followup to Motorola and T-Mobile's slider's been long rumored -- we heard a few morsels of information back in September -- and now CellPhoneSignal has a few pics of what it claims is the Begonia, aka Cliq 2 (for T-Mobile, naturally). The keyboard here is, well, interesting, to say the least, and there's also apparently a five megapixel camera on the back. We're not really sure how our thumbs feel about the layout, but if this is legit, we'd reckon they'll get to try it out themselves sooner or later. That's what giant gadget trade shows are for, right? Right. More pictures via the source link.
Motorola 'Begonia' is T-Mobile's Cliq 2, features WiFi calling?
We've been tossed a few scraps of information in the past few hours on T-Mobile's upcoming Cliq 2 -- codenamed "Begonia" -- and though we don't know much, what we do know is enough to be a little excited about. Here's what we've got: Android 2.2 with Blur Keyboard design is said to be "interesting" -- in a good way -- described as "one solid piece" without any gaps between keys. The Cliq's is pretty decent, and with both the myTouch 3G Slide and G2 in the mix now, they've got a lot to live up to 3G hotspot support, something the G2 will lack at launch WiFi calling, which we've heard a little about recently Word is that the Cliq 2 is slated for a November 1 launch, though it's not clear how it'll be positioned -- if we had to venture a shot-in-the-dark guess, it'd be priced to go head to head with the myTouch 3G Slide. More on this just as soon as we get it! [Thanks, B]
HTC HD7 resurfaces on a T-Mobile accessories list, could be with us by November 1
Aha! The phone you heard about here first has made its second document-based appearance, this time crossing the Atlantic and showing up on a T-Mobile inventory sheet. We can apparently look forward to accessorizing our HD7s with a leather sleeve, a "charge shell," a pair of different screen protectors, and two flexible protective covers made by Speck. Most of these parts are expected to arrive on November 1, and since accessories aren't much good without something to put them on, we can probably expect that to mean the HD7 will be dropping some time before November. It's expected on October 18 in the UK, which dovetails neatly with the idea of it being a headline Windows Phone 7 device from HTC -- that's about the time Microsoft promised WP7's European launch. As to that "Dell Claire" you see near the top, we're hearing it's the T-Mo version of the Dell Streak. [Thanks, John and Jakub]
