LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CES -- Motorola
Mobility, Inc., (NYSE: MMI), and T-Mobile USA today announced the
upcoming availability of Motorola CLIQ 2™ with MOTOBLUR™, a
3.7-inch touch-screen smartphone with a slide-out keypad that
allows users to play hard and work hard. CLIQ 2 is the latest
example of the powerful devices you can expect from Motorola that
combine Android™ software and MOTOBLUR social connectivity,
with the addition of new business-ready functionality.
"Smartphone users are constantly looking for a device that suits
all of their needs, whether they're in the office or at home with
their families. CLIQ 2 is what these consumers are looking
for, delivering on what it means to truly stay connected on their
terms," said Alain Mutricy, senior vice president, portfolio and
device product management, Motorola Mobility, Inc. "With
business-ready features and robust entertainment options, CLIQ 2
users will be able to make the most of every moment."
CLIQ 2 is a 3G smartphone that benefits from faster speeds at no
additional cost on the T-Mobile 4G network.* Paired with an
ultra-fast 1GHz processor, CLIQ 2 is designed to keep up with the
busiest careers and social lives. An intelligently designed
slide-out keypad shortens the distance between keys and increases
key size for fast text entry. Wi-Fi calling capabilities enable
users to make calls over work or home wireless networks. CLIQ 2
helps users stay connected to their home, work and weekend lives.
In addition, it helps manage them with three sets of customizable
home screens that provide access to the applications, shortcuts and
widgets they want, when they need them.
"We are excited to build upon the success of the original CLIQ,
bringing the powerful combination of Android and social
connectivity to our customers," said Paul
Cole, vice president, product management, T-Mobile USA.
"With the addition of new business-ready features, the Motorola
CLIQ 2 offers peace of mind with the ability to balance home and
work life."
Powered by Android 2.2, users will experience rich web content
with Adobe® Flash® Player. Combined with easy access to more
than 100,000 applications and games from Android Market™, the
latest movie hits from the pre-loaded BLOCKBUSTER® ONDEMAND
application, and favorite reads via the pre-loaded Amazon Kindle
application, users can turn CLIQ 2 into an entertainment hub.
CLIQ 2's high-resolution 3.7–inch touch-screen display
stretches from edge-to-edge to maximize media playback and web
browsing. Share media on an even larger screen, as CLIQ 2 is
DLNA-enabled, allowing users to stream and share content on other
DLNA-enabled devices. In addition, customers can easily frame the
moments captured on CLIQ 2 with the Print to Retail feature, which
allows copies to be made at a local photo retailer.
For busy professionals, CLIQ 2 offers serious business
functionality. Stay on time with robust calendar
capabilities, which include the ability to propose new meeting
times, reply and reply-all to groups, forward meeting notices and
even check meeting participant availability. Stay connected with
co-workers through the corporate directory, or network after hours
by importing LinkedIn connections into the contact list. Users can
work remotely on CLIQ 2 using Quickoffice® to view and edit
important documents right on their phones. Even connect a
laptop or other device to the Internet using CLIQ 2 as a 3G mobile
hotspot or through Wi-Fi Sharing. Plus, IT departments will rest
easy with advanced security features like remote locate and SD card
wipe. Additional security features such as device and SD card
encryption are expected to be available in early 2011.
CLIQ 2 also provides a helping hand with communication overload.
MOTOBLUR helps manage email and social networking services right
from the home screen without separately accessing Facebook® and
Twitter®, among others. And, time won't be wasted because
customizable filters allow consumers to control the types of
messages and updates displayed in their home-screen widgets.

Offered in a titanium hue with a smoke gray finish, Motorola
CLIQ 2 with MOTOBLUR will be available exclusively to T-Mobile USA
