Surprise! Motorola Delays Cliq, Cliq XT 2.1 Update on Last Day of Quarter!

If you didn’t see this coming, you are a liar. As much as everyone wanted to believe Motorola would roll Android 2.1 out to Cliq and Cliq XT handsets this quarter, we really didn’t expect it to happen. Official word coming out of the handset maker is that the update is being pushed back indefinitely. Awesome. Nothing quite like waiting until the last day of the quarter to say you weren’t going to hit your self-imposed deadline, right?

For those asking for an update regarding a software upgrade on CLIQ in the U.S., we’ve made a decision to take more time on the release to optimize the experience in some key areas. We will continue to work to deliver it as soon as possible and apologize that we have been unable to provide an upgrade to these users in Q2 as planned.

We are working hard to provide an upgrade to Android 2.1 as soon as we can. Our consumers’ experience is our first priority and we will provide an upgrade when we can deliver the best possible user experience.

so i’m on the fifth moto cliq waiting for the sixth to arrive.. Unhappy and i must say i’m really unhappy with the replacements ive been recently getting, keyboards not lighting up, the screen breaking , turning off unexpectedly, being extreamly warm whenever charging..etc.. ive just had the worst luck with this mobile phone.. they offered me the brand new dash and the new blackberry.. but i really like the versatility of this phone so significantly that im trying to look past it.. i only need to know if anybody else is having these problems with replacements.. or just in general.

so now i’m on the fifth moto cliq holding out for the sixth to arrive.. Sad and i need to say i’m incredibly unhappy with the replacements ive been getting, keyboards not lighting up, the display screen cracking , turning off unexpectedly, being extreamly warm 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 really like the flexibility of this phone so significantly that im attempting to look past it.. i simply need to know if anybody else is having these problems with replacements.. or just in general.
