Motorola launches its first Android handset
As expected Motorola has released its first mobile phone using Google’s Android operating system.
The CLIQ phone, a 3G smartphone with a hard keyboard and five mega-pixel camera, will be sold via T-Mobile in the US, with separate deals to be announced worldwide.
Motorola will be looking to the phone to revive its flagging fortunes in the mobile market after a series of disappointing financial quarters. The company has said it will be making a major push into handsets run on Android.
Were pleased to announce our first Android-powered device in partnership with T-Mobile USA, said Sanjay Jha, chief executive of Motorola Mobile Devices.
Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR differentiates the Android experience for consumers by being the only smartphone that automatically syncs conversations, contacts and content, and delivers a solution thats instinctive, social and smart.
The CLIQ comes with MOTOBLUR software developed by Motorola, which automatically synchronises data between Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Gmail, and work and personal email. It can be used to link into news feeds and will synchronise with Google calendar automatically.
The data is stored on dedicated Motorola servers and, in the event of the phone being lost, the handsets can be wiped remotely and the data synced to a new handset.
