Moto Cliq (model name MB220)

The handset by looks great it has a sliding full qwerty keyboard and a bright touch screen.Motorola has also developed an app called  "MotoBlur" (Motorolablur).

Motoblur is an app and service that syncs information from all the various connections you have in your daily life,Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, and your e-mail accounts, and automatically give updates to your home screen.
You can even comment on a status update right from your homescreen with having to open any app.

One great aspect of Motoblur is that it backs up all your data to a Motorola-run server, so even if your phone gets lost or stolen you can remotely wipe your data ,all your information will be backed up to the server. You can recover all your data on a new handset to same as the time you lost it.
