A Tour of Motoblur on the Motorola Cliq

Posted on Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 by Dieter Bohn

Here's a quick tour of the major features of the Motoblur interface and service on the Motorola Cliq. I got this tour at the Moto booth at CTIA and after fighting a recalcitrant SD card for several days, I'm happy to say I've saved the video and present it here for you slavering Cliq fans.

Overall I'm quite impressed with the Cliq - but as with the Sense UI on the HTC Hero, I worry that the proliferation of widgets, email clients, and the like will confuse new users. As a power user myself, I find them all to be a joy. Perhaps we're approaching the day where all smartphone users start to look like power users. What do you think - does Motoblur look like it would appeal to Aunt May?

Uhhh... the video is private, so you have to sign in to YouTube to watch it... then it won't let you because again... it is "private".

The interface looks absolutely cluttered and lags too! This one's for the social messaging addicts..

It seems like it lags... I'm not sold on these customized interfaces. Motoblur doesn't look that fantastic to me. Work should be put into the Facebook application over customized access.
