Motorola Cliq (T-Mobile)$148.00*
CNET editors' rating: 4.0 stars Excellent
Bottom Line: With its excellent design, user interface improvements, and admirable feature set, the Motorola Cliq gives a big boost to the Android operating system. We had some performance quibbles with the device, and the MotoBlur interface can be a bit much, but the phone has a lot to like.
