The Motorola Cliq (Motorola Dext outside the U.S.) is an Android-based mobile phone by Motorola.

The Cliq/Dext has 3G/HSDPA (900, 1700, 2100); in the US, it is only compatible with T-Mobile's 3G UMTS network. It also has Wi-Fi ability, a 5-megapixel camera and video recording (at 24 frames per second), a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, an HTML browser, and a QWERTY keyboard. It also has access to applications through the Android Market that is part of the Android operating system.

Some of the other key features of the device are Motoblur, remote wipe and link calls with mapping software.

Motoblur's primary function is to enable users to receive various updates from a variety of sources such as Twitter, Facebook, LastFM, and Email clients directly on their phone's main screen.

Motorola Dext (European edition) was launched by early October 2009 in the UK by Orange UK followed by the US launch of the US edition Cliq by T-Mobile US on 2 November 2009.

On 23 January 2010, Motorola launched Cliq/Dext in Singapore, its first Asian market, exclusively through Singapore Telecom/Singtel. It launched on 9 April 2010 in Australia exclusively on the Optus mobile network.

Notice, all updates include earlier update improvements as well, so newer updates seem to carry more improvements at first glance.

Early December 2009 T-Mobile US started pushing an operating system update OTA. Update features include: better battery life management, improved Bluetooth connection, touch screen accuracy improvement, accelerometer accuracy, and hang-up issues. The patch (to system version 1.1.31) is about 8 MB.

On 22 February 2010, Motorola released on over-the-air software upgrade to the Motoblur interface, its version number is 1.3.18. The update includes:

Early April 2010, T-Mobile and Motorola released a new 2-part update, which includes:

Upgrade to Android 2.1 was officially released to the U.S. public on 9 November 2010. The European and Latin American versions of the phone (the Dext) will not receive the update.

At various times, Motorola promised to update the Cliq to Android OS 2.1. The update was slated to release during Q2 of 2010, but again postponed. Before the official public release, around August 2010, a version of the 2.1 update was leaked, enabling users to receive the update without having to root the device.
