No word on pricing or release date but it’s slated for a ‘fall’ release. We’ll be among the first sites to report on it when it becomes available! For now, you can join in the conversation in the official T-Mobile Forums.
We here in the US will know it as ‘CLIQ’ and will be exclusive to T-Mobile USA. Across the pond, it will be known as DEXT and will be available exclusively through Orange (UK and France), Telefonica (Spain), and America Movil (Latin America).

Ugh, another square keyboard.
Seeing as they seem to be keeping the processor type / speed a secret, I'm not very enthusiastic that this will be a real step up.
same Qualcomm 528 that's been around for years. BOOOORIINNG.
Has that been confirmed? I haven't seen any mention of the processor in any of the official spec lists I've seen. Which means you're probably right, but I still have hope that there will be a reason for me to upgrade my G1.

Thanks for the info…very disappointing. Oh well…I guess if I'm going to upgrade this year, I'll have to buy my way out of my TMo contract.
If it's going to be free with a 2-year plan, then it makes sense that the processor is old.
lol, seems we are all intrested in the same thing… FASTER PHONE…
Here are my impressions about Motorola Cliq:
Certainly superior because it is using google operating system , which is arguably the highlight of this phone. Well this phone is basically for people who are more into social involvement, it lets you update your status to various social networking sites at one go. All application at one place , rather then logging again and again to various sites .
we still need improvement.. so go go developer..
