Motorola Cliq pre-order details leaked

The T-Mobile USA branded version of the Motorola Cliq will be available to pre-order from 19th October, according to online reports.

The info popped up at the usually reliable TmoNews.com and shows an official looking promotional image with that 19th October pre-order date proudly displayed.

The Cliq is a fully featured smartphone that packs in a 3.1-inch touchscreen display, 5-megapixel camera and landscape sliding Qwerty keyboard, as well as including Motorola's new Motoblur UI.

The Motoblur interface brightens up the Google Android OS and allows customisation of the home screen. It also provides quick access and syncing of several different social networking services, such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook.

The Cliq will be launching in the UK as an Orange exclusive, with the moniker of the Dext sometime before Christmas. If this T-Mobile USA news is anything to go by, then we'll expect to see UK pre-orders surface around the 19th October too.

Pricing for the Cliq/Dext is still unknown but we'll know more when that pre-order goes live next month.
