Smartphone com Android Motorola Cliq: tudo o que você precisa saber

Finalmente a Motorola conseguiu um sistema operacional de primeira classe para os seus smartphones: o novo Cliq usa Android e tem 3G, teclado QWERTY deslizante, GPS, câmera de 5 megapixels e uma nova interface de uso voltada a redes sociais chamada Motoblur.

Software

O Motorola Cliq – que nos EUA é exclusivo da T-Mobile – tem os recursos usuais do Android, mas adiciona seus próprios serviços e software, agrupando tudo sob a sua própria interface de uso. Toda essa mistureba é chamada de Motoblur.

O Motoblur faz login em todos as suas redes e contas, do e-mail ao Twitter, passando pelo Facebook e outros serviços, e junta o conteúdo em um único feed, que é exibido na página frontal do telefone. Widgets aparecem em pop-up na tela principal, permitindo que você responda a mensagens e atualizações com um clique. O sistema será incluído em futuros smartphones da Motorola com Android. Eis um resumo dos recursos:

Tela home personalizável com diversos widgets;
Widgets customizáveis de notícias em RSS;
Mensagens pelo Facebook, pelo MySpace e pelo Twitter;
Catálogo de endereços sincroniza contatos pessoais e profissionais e de redes sociais conectadas;
Identificador de chamadas mostra nome, número, status e imagem do perfil;
Compartilhamento de fotos no MySpace, no Photobucket, no Picasa e no Facebook.

E se o seu telefone for roubado, você pode restaurar tudo automaticamente em um novo aparelho – além de apagar remotamente toda a informação do celular perdido.

Hardware

O Motorola Cliq tem tela de 3,1” e 320 x 480 e teclado QWERTY deslizante com um d-pad. Pra jogos, sabe? O aparelho ainda conta com câmera de 5 megapixels, com foco automático e gravação de vídeo a 24 ou 30 quadros por segundo. Eles incluíram uma saída para fone de ouvido de 3,5 mm, além de conectividade 3G e GPS integrado.

Surpreendentemente, porém, ele não parece ter conectividade Wi-Fi. Ele tem Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR estéreo. Um ponto negativo: ele vem apenas com um cartão microSD de 2 GB como sua única forma de armazenamento. É claro, você pode expandir o negócio para 32 GB por conta própria. Talvez isso deixe o Cliq mais barato do que os competidores, mas não sabemos ainda, pois o preço não foi revelado.

Mas não reclame: ele será lançado em duas cores, branco inverno e titânio. Internacionalmente, ele será chamado de Dext, ou, no melhor estilo Motorola, “MOTODEXT!!!!!”. Porque você está sempre gritando, Moto? [Motorola Cliq]
