I recently decided to purchase a Moto Cliq after seeing the cool new MotoBlur feature. I plan to write an in depth comparison after a week with the Cliq, but here are my thoughts between the two devices after just a day with the Cliq:
#1 - Battery Life. Under normal usage the Cliq was dead after being off the charger less than 12 hours. Granted it is pulling and polling data, but I think iPhone's push notification has a win in this category.
#2 - Keyboard. After succumbing to iPhone all-touch-screen interface, going back to a physical keyboard is very hard. Thankfully Android now includes an on screen keyboard comparable to iPhone's.
#3 - MotoBlur. Very cool, I haven't felt so connected with all my family and friends in a long time. It's going to be like every day is a holiday with everybody at my house.
#4 - Accessibility. Not as bad as Blackberry at burrying things in menus, but not as slick as iPhone.
#5 - Speed. Definently slower than the iPhone and after owning a 3GS, any step down in speed is noticeable...and irritating
#6 - Text Messaging. Sending out a group email or attaching a photo is so much easier with the iPhone. I haven't even figured out if I can send a group message on the Cliq...
To most readers, you would assume that the Cliq is already boxed up and ready to go back...not so. I will continue to use it as my sole phone for the next week and see how I feel then. Who knows, maybe I'll have to use both an iPhone and a Cliq...
