MOTOBLUR Gone For Good
by Chit Agustin on Jun 11, 2011 2 Comments">2
MotoBlur is, apparently, everything you want, all in one place. Motoblur is made up of various widgets wherein it fuses social networking gateways like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace and also other services like news and weather reports all in one place. Yes, that’s MotoBlur folks. However, poor MotoBlur hasn’t been getting a lot of love lately, and for good reason. It seems MotoBlur hasn’t been able to make that many friends. Motorola has been forced to phase out the MotoBlur label due to public criticisms, and it’s looking like the good ‘ol days of MotoBlur are over. Goodbye MotoBlur! Recently, …
Motorola CHARM for T-Mobile USA official
by Michael Oryl on Jul 07, 2010 0 Comments">0
Motorola this morning officially unveiled the CHARM, another MOTOBLUR device for T-Mobile USA. This time, however, the phone is running Android 2.1 and sports a new form factor. While Moto and T-Mobile have not announced pricing, and have only said that it is expected to be available “this summer,” we expect the phone to come in at a low price point for an Android smartphone due to its component selection. It features only a 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) resolution. That’s quite a step down from the 5 megapixel camera on the CLIQ, with …
Motorola DROID X video review part 1 – Hardware and Widgets
by Michael Oryl on Jun 24, 2010 1 Comments">1
Here’s the first part of my video review of Verizon’s Motorola DROID X Android smartphone. I love the hardware design (no touch sensitive buttons, yay!) and like the look of the display, too. But I really love the new Motorola developed widgets, which are obviously MOTOBLUR based. Check them out, below.
Motorola CLIQ XT / QUENCH review is up
by Michael Oryl on Mar 17, 2010 0 Comments">0
I just got finished posting Todd Haselton’s review of the T-Mobile branded Motorola CLIQ XT on MobileBurn.com. Todd likes the device in general, and thinks it has more going for it than “a CLIQ without a keyboard” would seem to suggest. I agree. He was unimpressed with the CLIQ XT’s camera, but really liked the new connected media player application that Motorola has included. Other wins were the Swype text input system, fast data, and built-in Flash Lite support. You’ll find the full CLIQ XT review here. I’ve added a small gallery after the jump.

MOTOBLUR lovers that prefer the AWS spectrum for 3G can rejoice as the Motorola CLIQ XT is now available for your buying pleasure. Point your browser to T-Mobile’s website or hoof it to your local store where you can drop $129 with an Even More plan and a two year contract for this Android 1.5 handset. Need more details on the handset before making that commitment? Then check out MobileBurn’s hands-on review in which Todd Haselton covers everything from unboxing, booting, and beyond.
Motorola BACKFLIP backfires on AT&T
by Kelly Hodgkins on Mar 10, 2010 3 Comments">3
The Motorola BACKFLIP debuted this weekend on AT&T and the first impressions of this uniquely designed handset are not so favorable. Folks that picked up AT&T’s first Android handset have been shocked to discover that the device has been crippled by the nation’s second largest wireless provider. According to information posted at the xda-developers forums, new BACKFLIP owners are reporting that AT&T has loaded the device with AT&T-specific applications which can not be removed, has restricted the user’s ability to install third applications that reside outside of the Android Market, and has committed the greatest of heresies by replacing Google …
Video: Motorola Devour demonstration
by Chuck Zich on Feb 22, 2010 0 Comments">0
Rick Osterloh, VP of Android Software & MOTOBLUR services has been caught seemingly in his own cubicle, showing off the Motorola Devour in a nice 7 minute long video. The video shows the attractive form factor and well spaced keyboard along with features of MOTOBLUR and Motorola’s new Moto Phone Portal. The portal allows you to view media files from your phone directly on your computer all over a WiFi connection. We hope to see this great feature ported to other popular Motorola devices such as the DROID in the near future. The Devour is set to launch exclusively with …
Hands-on with Motorola’s CLIQ XT / QUENCH

I spent a bit of time with the new Motorola QUENCH / CLIQ XT here in Barcelona. Below is the video I shot of the device, but if you want to see the pile of photos as well as my thoughts on the changes from the CLIQ, read my full Motorola CLIQ XT gallery story on MobileBurn.com.
Thirsty? Check out this Motorola Quench video
by Chuck Zich on Feb 16, 2010 0 Comments">0
Earlier today we reported on the official unveiling of the mystery Motorola phone previously known as the Zeppelin. Now being called the CLIQ XT/Quench, Engadget has been lovely enough to shoot a video for us on the new device. Showing off Motoblur, which seems to be a love/hate relationship with users right now the phone has a solid look to it and interchangeable backs allowing for user customization. The screen looks very responsive and the OS is running seen running smoothly. A detail previously unknown is that the device comes preloaded with Swype text input which is a fantastic feature …
New Motorola mystery phone shows its curves
by Chuck Zich on Jan 28, 2010 0 Comments">0
Rumored to be announced at next month’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain, the phone to the right is going by the codename of “Zeppelin”. This makes little sense as this phone has also been going by that name and has been made very official as of late (although since ditching the Zeppelin title). For now, we will call it the Motorola mystery until it’s formal announcement arrives. Specifications are said to include MOTOBLUR running on 2.0 or 2.1, a 5 Megapixel camera, a 3.2-inch HVGA display, GPS, and touch sensitive buttons below the screen. The most interesting part of …
Motorola Backflip shows off in new promotional video
by Chuck Zich on Jan 14, 2010 0 Comments">0
Motorola has posted an official video showing off its unconventionally designed Backflip in action. The video is only 36 seconds long and has no real information to show that can’t be seen in our video posted last week, but it is a nicely put together promotion. As we reported about a month ago, the phone is said to be heading to AT&T and resembles the Motorola CLIQ, sans the opposite keyboard. This phone has been receiving nothing but mixed reviews due to its obviously backwards looking keyboard and Backtrack feature, a trackpad located on the back of the screen that …
Video: Motorola BACKFLIP
by Michael Oryl on Jan 07, 2010 1 Comments">1
Here’s a quick video demo of the Motorola BACKFLIP from the launch event last night here in Las Vegas. I have to admit that I’ve not formed a solid opinion of the phone yet. It works like a CLIQ in terms of software, which is fine, but the hardware is likely to polarize people. Personally, I found the keyboard and trackpad on the back of the display both difficult to use. In any case, watch the video to get a look at the BACKFLIP doing its thing.
Motorola Calgary is now the Devour, new picture emerges
by Chuck Zich on Jan 03, 2010 0 Comments">0
BGR has received some new info regarding the previously known Motorola Calgary, including a new pic in silver as well as some user feedback regarding the optical joystick, amongst other things. Said to be launching Q1 on Verizon’s network the Calgary is now being called the “Devour” and is sporting a new silver look. Pictured running MOTOBLUR, not much new is known of the device that hasn’t already leaked earlier, however, BGR did manage to get some opinionated user feedback regarding key features of the device. Hit the jump for a blurb on the feedback as well as a higher …
Motorola Cliq rooted, custom ROMs coming soon
by Susan Ellery on Dec 23, 2009 3 Comments">3
And another one bites the dust – fresh out of the modmymoto forums is news that the Motorola Cliq has been rooted. As is the case with freshly rooted devices, the root is merely proof of concept and offers no practical advantage to the average user, at least not yet. TheDudesAndroid, who posted up the instructions for rooting, is working on a custom Android 1.5 ROM and possibly an Android 2.1 port. Rooting, ROMs, and the removal of MOTOBLUR – Good things to come for all you Cliq owners out there! [via Gizmodo and RedmondPie]
