Motorola Dext (Cliq) unboxing video

It has been a long, long time since I used a Motorola handset so I was pleased when they announced the Motorola Dext recently and even more intrigued to learn that it would be a Google Android device.  Originally announced in the US as the Motorola Cliq for some reason it’s called the Dext in the UK.

The Motorola Dext (Cliq)

The Motorola Dext is a decent looking handset with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. It’s good to see another Android powered device with a QWERTY as the G1 is becoming a little dated now. The Dext looks a little like some LG handsets that you can find on the market too with its three button arrangement below the screen.

It’s good to see more Android handsets hitting the market. We’ll be reviewing the Dext over the next week or so and will have the review online for you soon. Don’t foget to head over to the Dext forum post if you have any questions about the Dext. Until then have a look at the unboxing video below for a quick tour of the handset and a little look at the OS.
