It’s been 6 months with the cell phone now. Kinda sorta remembering what the number is.
The whining on some of the Motorola Cliq forums has reached epic proportions ever since Motorola let their Q2 target for delivering the Android 2.1 upgrade slip to some unspecified date later on.
The Cliq is keeping me more in touch with things going on in the Twitter world, where before I was pretty much offline whenever I wasn’t near the computer. Kinda good sometimes.
Calendar and contacts management still remains on my T3 though, but stuff ends up going to both places.
The “ooo shiny!” factor is starting to fade. The on-screen keyboard is pretty useless. Although the Cliq does lots of cool stuff, I still find it slow and clunky compared to my T3.

If it is supported, have you tried the “swype” keyboard/input? What are the issues you have with calendar/contact syncing?
I’ve been reading about swype and it sounds pretty nifty. sadly it doesn’t show up in the 1.5 market.
Google Calendar is ok, but lacking in a number of things that I’ve found useful after using DateBk on my PalmOS based gadgets. Google Calendar doesn’t offer much flexibility when it comes to scheduling or handling repeating appointments. it’s hard to schedule irregular repeating appointments and you can’t remove a single instance of a repeating appointment without removing the all of them.
i don’t know if this is just a motoblur thing or an android thing, but contacts pulls in info from all the accounts i have set up (Twitter, FB, etc). Not a bad thing, but there’s no way to subsequently organize everything. i can link contacts to each other, but it’s pretty labour intensive and time consuming.
would be nice to be able to put contacts into categories or at least be able to show them by account type (Twitter contacts, FB contacts, Google contacts).
on several occasions i’ve had my contacts get completely corrupted or totally disappear on me making me do a factory reset to get things back in order.
and the darn thing is just slow sometimes.
