Motorola CLIQ 2 finally gets Gingerbread
Share:
About 15 and a half months after the CLIQ was released, Motorola came back with a sequel having the inspired name of the Motorola CLIQ 2. With a much larger screen size (3.7 inches vs. the original's 3.1 inch display) equipped with higher resolution, the sequel still featured a side sliding QWERTY keyboard. The camera remained at 5MP although the sequel had a dual LED flash. The OG CLIQ featured a Qualcomm MSM7201 A 528MHz processor vs. a single-core 1GHz Snapdragon under the hood of the sequel. But perhaps the biggest change was with the OS. The Motorola CLIQ 2 had Froyo, or Android 2.2 running the show which not only was miles and miles away from Android 1.5, but it also allowed CLIQ 2 users to run Adobe Flash and store apps on a microSD card.

There is some bad news. This is not an OTA update which means you will need a Windows powered PC, a micro USB cable and the Motorola Software Application. Clicking on the sourcelink will bring you to the instructions for downloading the update. And while it doesn't take owners of the Motorola CLIQ 2 all the way to Android 4.0, it should make it feel like a brand new phone once you've completed the installation.

They just did.
If you're going to troll, at least have some facts behind what you say.
Otherwise, you just come across as a(n even bigger) dumbass.

Someone's angry. Are you going to throw a hissy fit just because people are pointing out that Motorola is updating a very old dinosaur with an update of Android that's no longer used?

that may be the case however it's Motorola that kept it from being a long forgotten dinosaur that people still use.
12. Mxyzptlk posted on 07 May 2012, 09:40 1
And there's many other phones that people use that Motorola has no plans on updating.

Moto at the very least does as fine as everyone else. while this year HTC has been killing it with 4.0 updates (which even i'll admit didn't see coming due to how much change there's been with ICS) they were the first to release a phone with 2.2 in the states and they were quicker than Samsung and right there with HTC on 2.3 updates. there's the Google Experience devices too but Motorola had little to do with them.
