The "Blur" UI looks great on the Tmobile Moto Cliq

The MotoBlur is a child's UI, if you don't mind me saying. HTC's Sense UI is much more capable. If you refer to BGR's Android 2.0 walkthrough you will see that Google has included social networking integration straight into the UI itself. If you read further BGR goes over just a few features that are new to 2.0. Chances are MotoBlur will be ported to the Droid anyway, as I'm sure there are more than enough capable devs out there.

-600 mhz processor, check
-capacitive screen, check
-5 mp camera w/ flash and autofocus, check
-thinnest qwerty slider to date, check
-push gmail, check
-multitasking, check
-home docking capabilities, check
-verizon coverage, check
-non-gimped, finally!, check

- Resolution: 854×480
- Battery: Li-ion 1400mAh, 450 hours standby and talk time of 420 minutes
- Supports WM formats which iPhone doesn’t. All in all: MPEG-4, H263, H264, WMV; AMR-NB/WB, MP3, PCM / WAV, AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, WMA

• It’s running Android 2.0. Duh.
• It’s thin. Just slightly thicker than an iPhone 3GS and the thinnest QWERTY-slider we’ve ever seen.
• It is the fastest Android device we’ve ever used. (It’s running a TI OMAP3430 processor)
• The feel of the device is very reminiscent of the OQO 02 model computer. Just smaller. It’s metal with a non-spring-assisted slide, very sturdy, and half soft-touch plastic.
• Awesome capacitive display. Plus it’s huge. Easily the best screen we’ve ever seen on an Android handset, and an amazing screen overall.
• The QWERTY keyboard is actually pretty usable and has a soft-touch rubberized finish. We’ve been told the keyboard design isn’t final on this unit, thus the two no-shows.
• Have we mentioned this phone flies? It’s the Android device to beat, and easily the most impressive. From what we’ve been told, Google had a direct hand in the Motorola Droid. Something to the point of almost dictating every move Motorola made when designing and making the phone. Interesting, huh?
• There’s a desktop cradle/charger that will ship with the Motorola Droid that we’ve been playing around with. It turns your Droid into a “multimedia station” and displays local weather, the time, etc.
• No one wants to listen, but it makes the CLIQ looks like a child’s toy (partly because it is, and partly because the Droid, even in its non-final form, is the most impressive phone we’ve used since the iPhone. It’s positively amazing).
