Motorola is back - and it's Android that is likely to save the day। The first handset (of four, if all the rumours on the Internet are true) also sees the launch of MOTOBLUR - a service that will collect content from a range of online services, including Facebook and Twitter, seamlessly and instantly।
This is it - the DEXT (released in the USA tonight as the Cliq). It's the first Android handset from Motorola, and could well get the handset manufacturer out of the wilderness. No, scratch that, WILL get them out of the wilderness.
The stylish looking device has an impressive spec, from the integrated QWERTY keyboard to the 5-megapixel autofocus camera first seen on the ZN5 cameraphone. There's also the usual array of features, like GPS, Wi-Fi and 3G.
But the most interesting aspect, and one that wasn't widely reported before the launch, is MOTOBLUR. The concept is simple enough, and isn't totally unique, but the video below shows how easy it is to collect content from a range of online services and social networking sites - without having to worry about who used what.
Like the INQ Mobile handsets, the DEXT will also keep contacts updated with status updates and profile pictures, and collect details from a range of sources - including your personal and private emails. Naturally, the DEXT is geared up to work with any, or all, of the Google services on offer; mail, maps, chat etc.
The DEXT will be launching exclusively in the UK on Orange, with exact details on availability and pricing to be revealed at Motorola's UK event on the 15th September. We will be there and you'll be able to read more on the website then - and in the next issue of the magazine on sale 1st October.
