Readers : We’re giving away a free i-gotU portable GPS travel logger! Motorola Dext (Cliq) Android powered smartphone Its been a while since Motorola caught our attention but last week they’ve finally taken a step forward to unleash their new and first ever Android powered smartphone – the Motorola Dext (or Cliq if you’re elsewhere not in Europe). Due to arrive the UK next month via Orange, not only will the Dext be an Android powered sliding beast but also one with a touch of Motorola customisation. Known as MOTOBLUR (Motorola Blur), the platform aims to act as a social media aggregator syncing with Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Picasa and others onto a customizable homescreen that displays info users want from any of the services. Plus, this allows users to interact with their contacts through any of the networks seamlessly. Blur has other tricks too like remote wipe and phone tracking via the internet and of course because its still an Android phone you get all the entire standard Android on board like web browser, Gmail, Google Maps, etc. As you can see Dext itself (aka MB-200) will be most welcomed by those who enjoy texting. Its got a QWERTY keypad, a 3.1 inch HVGA display with a resolution of 320 x 480 and connectivities such as EDGE, GPRS, WiFi, a five megapixel camera with autofocus, and a 3.5mm headphone socket. It will be available in both black and white next month, lets hope this will be the phone that sorts out Moto’s recent problems.
