Review: Motorola CLIQ XT
Calls
The dialer application is slightly different on the Cliq XT compared to other Android phones, but not too much. It can be launched from a dedicated software button on the Cliq XT's home screen. There are no physical send/end keys. The main dialer has a large numeric keypad in the middle, with four tabs along the top and three buttons at the bottom.
The top tabs take you to the dialer, recent calls, frequently called numbers, and your speed-dial/favorites list. The default action when you launch the dialer is to search through your contacts.
The three buttons on the bottom to let you open the contact list, call whatever number is on the screen, or open up the voice dialer.
Contacts
Motoblur incorporates every single contact database you have into one, massive list. Twitter continues to be a thorn in Blur's side, as it has profound effects on the size of a user's address book.
Search is still the best way to sort through a large list of contacts. Similar to the way Windows Mobile devices work, you can simply start typing in the name of a contact from the home screen and the Cliq XT will search through your contacts to find someone.
Motoblur is still hit or miss in the way it organizes your contacts. Sometimes it finds all the right email addresses, phone numbers and such for a person and puts them in one place, and other times you'll have five different versions of the same contact.
