Physical design
Measurements and build
The Cliq features a slider design and measures 4.49 inches tall by 2.28
inches wide by 0.62 inch thick and weighs 5.6 ounces. The size is
neither too small or too big, but more than anything, we were impressed
with the build quality of the phone. It has a really solid construction
and just feels like a well-made handset.
Touch screen
On front, there's a 3.1-inch HVGA capacitive touch screen with a
320x480 pixel resolution. It's not the sharpest we've seen, but still,
the display is very clear and vibrant. In our very brief time with the
device, the touch screen seemed responsive. You also get several
navigation buttons below the display.
Keyboard
When you slide open the phone, you'll be greeted by the Motorola Cliq's
full QWERTY keyboard, which we have to say is excellent. The buttons are a good size and have a nice bubbly shape to them. They don't feel cheap and they provide a nice springy feedback, making for a great typing experience. It ranks pretty high in our list of QWERTY devices as far as the keyboard.
