so now i’m on the 5th moto cliq waiting for the 6th to arrive.. Sad and i need to say i’m incredibly disappointed with the replacements ive been recently getting, keyboards not lighting up, the display screen breaking , turning off unexpectedly, being extreamly warm when charging..etc.. ive just had the worst luck with this phone.. they presented me the new dash and the new blackberry.. but i love the flexibility of this phone so significantly that im trying to look past it.. i only want to know if anybody else is having these problems with replacements.. or just in general.

so now i’m on my fifth moto cliq holding out for the 6th to arrive.. Unhappy and i need to say i’m really disappointed with the replacements ive been recently getting, keyboards not lighting up, the display screen splitting , turning off unexpectedly, being extreamly hot whenever charging..etc.. ive just had the worst luck with this phone.. they presented me the brand new dash and the new blackberry.. but i love the flexibility of this phone so significantly that im attempting to look past it.. i only need to know if anybody else is having these problems with replacements.. or just in general.

I too am waiting for the android to accept Slingplayer and Skype. I love my HTC Mogul 6800. Wondering if I even should make the change. Any comments on it?

@ Tim

Can android connect/run my slingbox?? I don't think so. Yes I will say that google os is taking GIANT steps forward but they are not ALL there yet. At least for my needs and wishes. I am not alone either judging by slingmedia's success. Is it the androids fault for the none sling integration no but the fact that sling is still sitting back to pick and choose the next handheld os... Again not sold on android yet. MHO

I’m happy with the iPhone. I don’t want Google taking over my contacts, much less the randomness of Facebook, nor Twitter being front and centre on my iPhone. While “intergration” is usually good, you’ve got to wonder if some of these things go to far?

The HTC does look like a sweet device.

And for those wanting a Flash enabled browser, this might just be the ticket. It has multitouch and flash support, although the Flash is said not to be perfect yet.

Also the browser has a more small-screen friendly zoom. When you zoom in, the text justifies itself and fits to screen—no need to constantly scroll right and left.

@Al

I totally agree. The HD2 looks like the holy grail. I would rather see it on android as well.

I’m sure the Hero is freakin sweet, but a review from Android Central is hardly unbiased. I mean, could you see Rene saying an Apple phone is garbage?

The videos of the CLIQ that I’ve seen look extremely messy and confusing to me, look at that homescreen! I don’t think Apple is too worried about this one but if the Android version of the HD2 becomes a reality then watch out! That beautiful sense UI coupled with better apps and support from Google makes an extremely compelling phone. If it’s out when my contract is up in July I’d buy that phone in a minute unless Apple is doing something huge for 4.0.
