How not to fix the DROID

Ok, there are DROID users out there that have problems with the battery cover. You would think that if you go back to where you bought it they would tell you what your options are or give you another ( during the first 14 days at least. ) But Verizon has a new option and it's free of course. Allow me to introduce you to The Verizon Bandaid.. while supplies last

Check here for the users story.

UPDATE: Verizon is offering replacement covers. If you need one, keep checking at Verizons website because they are out of stock.

About the Motorola Cliq for T-Mobile

I have had a T-Mobile Wing mobile phone for quite some time now. Of my share of mobile phones, this has been the most versatile and does everything I need. It has its quirks now and then but it is OK. With more Android phones available and their multitude of downloadable apps along with the phones potential, I am leaning towards getting one of them. I like the G1 and the MyTouch but what I want is the Motorola CLIQ.

What does the Motorola CLIQ have that would move me away from a Windows Mobile Phone, let me tell you. It has MOTOBLUR. This allows streaming of your social networking feeds to your handset in realtime. It has a 5Megapixel camera for clearer shots. ( I wish it had a flash as well but that is not a deal breaker for me.) It comes 3G and WIFI capable, has Bluetooth Connectivity and a Full Qwerty keyboard. The keyboard is a must have for me right now. From my understanding of T-Mobile 3G speeds, when they go up to the 7.2Mbps, this phone will be able to take advantage of it.Check out the video below to see the CLIQ in action.

What you get in the box besides the phone is a 1400mA battery, Charger, USB Charger, Stereo Headset and a 2GB SD Card. A 2Gig card is not bad to start with but if you plan to take many pictures, listen to lots of music and more, your gonna want to get a bigger card.

Check out TMOBILE.COM or MOTOROLA.COM for more spec info.

One more thing....... the CLIQ is available for pre-order starting 10/19/09.
