Motorola introduced its first highly anticipated Android device this week.
 
A check of reviews around the Web yielded some positive comments of the Motorola Cliq, which will go on sale with T-Mobile USA. The same device will sell worldwide in 2010 under the name Motorola Dext. The unique part of the device is Motorola’s MotoBLUR user interface, which syncs information from different popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, email accounts and other useful sources and streams the updates on the home screen. The idea is you don’t have to move from application to application. The Cliq also features cloud computing that can preserve users’ data on a secure server if the phone is lost.
 
Also, one day a Nokia executive said Nokia will not alter the software of the new high-end, Linux-based N900 to meet the desires of specific wireless carriers, insinuating that it’s in the same league as Apple and Android, which are less about providing customization to operators and more about providing a value proposition to the end user. The next day the company clarified its position in its blog, saying that “a few people are getting ahead of themselves” in terms of drawing conclusions about the company’s plans for the N900. “While we have not announced immediate plans to offer an operator variant for the N900, there are many customization points for operators on the N900,” the company said. “It would be absolutely incorrect to assume that we will not offer operators the ability to tailor future Maemo devices to suit their needs.”
