Motorola, T-Mobile
Anyone up for a Motorola Cliq 2? That’s what you may get according to the latest rumor of T-Mobile’s upcoming lineup of phones. An Engadget tipster reports that the Motorola Begonia, previously spotted in a T-Mobile round-up, is actually the successor to the original MOTOBLUR device, the Cliq.
The Begonia would also be the Motorola Blur device running Froyo on T-Mobile. The tipster reports that the phone would feature an “interesting” design that has one continuous piece that doesn’t have any gaps between keys. Yeah, I’m scratching my head at that one too, but we all know that Motorola’s not afraid to take chances lately when it comes to phone design.
Other rumored features include the ability to act as a 3G hotspot and places WiFi calls, two virtues that I’m sure you T-Mobile loyalists have been waiting on. Sound interesting? I know that quite a few of our readers have made negative remarks about the Cliq, but it has enjoyed some decent amount of success.
Although they are doing just fine with what they are doing, Moto could have had a better luck by focusing on just the hardware and leave the software alone. Then it would have been possible to upgrade the phones rather than leaving them behind as it happens to be the case with most MOTOBLUR devices… My recent post AC for Android 65 Hits the Market- Sync Reminders Get Dismissed Automagically
