Motorola has unveiled the first of its coming line of Google Android-powered handsets, dubbed the Dext in Europe and the Cliq across the pond in North America. Integrating the company’s new Motoblur platform, the Dext allows for easy synchronization of contacts, posts, feeds, emails, SMS, MMS and photos from the handset itself and popular social networking sites such as Facebook.
Sporting a full QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen, the Dext also offers features such as WiFi, a 2 GB microSD card slot and a five megapixel camera. The Motoblur platform turns its focus on the social aspects of typical smartphone use, allowing easy integration and one-touch access to the most-used features.
Today’s mobile phone needs to be more than just ‘smart’. It needs to be social. The Dext is such a phone, offering the ability to funnel your entire social life into a single stream. – Motorola Western Europe vice president and general manager Ralf Gerbershagen
The Dext will be available in the UK and France through Orange, in Spain via Telefonica and (as the Cliq) through T-Mobile in the United States.
