TmoNews have gotten their hands on some sort of promo pamphlet for the T-Mobile's Motorola CLIQ, according to which the company will start accepting preorders on October 19. This basically means that the phone will (probably) be released by Christmas. Hopefully they'll make it available to non-T-mobile customers.

Orange UK has recently announced the release date for the Motorola DEXT, known in the U.S. as the CLIQ. The phone will be available in early October for free on a 2-year contract with £34.26 per month ($56.43) plan. How do you like that?
And yet another low-end phone from Motorola, the so called E11. At first we thought it runs Android, but it's wrong! Its got some proprietary Linux build as the OS, similar to what the MING series handsets use. Other than that the handset comes with a QVGA touchscreen display, dual-band GSM/GPRS support and a 3Mpix camera. The only market it will be available in is China.
Although the future Android-based X3 model is now official, Windows Mobile fans will probably prefer this one. Behold the unboxing video of the Q4-bound Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2. Oh, and please, be patient. You'll se why.
Windows Mobile 6.5 will officially launch on October 6th, and while major mobile phone manufacturers are prepping some new handsets with the preinstalled WM6.5, what about those customers who have decent smartphones that still run the old 6.1 version and don't want to change them?
Well, it looks like Samsung OMNIA I900 owners got lucky as thhey'll be getting an official WM6.
A new low-end phone has landed on Sprint. It's called the Samsung M330 in is as basic as can be - VGA cam and no support for EV-DO - but it'll cost you $0 on contract after rebate, which is really nice. The phone is available now.
Casio, Hitachi and NEC have agreed to merge their respective mobile phone divisions into one single entity. NEC will initially own 66% of the said joint venture. In their view, combining their technology and resources will help them better compete in the home market of Japan, as well as abroad. The companies plan to complete the unification by April 2010.
