CLIQ

The hot handset this holiday season seems to be the Android powered device. And T-Mobile seems to have something for everyone, even if Android isn't your thing. Here is a listing of T-Mobile's holiday handset line-up:

T-Mobile myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition

The newest in the T-Mobile myTouch franchise, the myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition has a guitar-inspired wood-grain finish and has access to the Android Market. It also features a 3.5mm headset jack, pre-installed 16GB microSD card, and exclusive pre-loaded video and audio clips by iconic musicians. It will be available later this year. Pricing has not been announced, and unfortunately, a photo is not available yet either.Read more

Motorola on Thursday unveiled its first Android phone, the Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR. This "phone with social skills" syncs contacts, posts, messages, photos and more—from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Gmail, work and personal e-mail, and LastFM—and automatically delivers it to widgets on the phone's home screen.

Customize the widgets on the home screen to see live streams of your favorite content, such as:

• Happenings: View all your social site updates in one spot with the live Happenings application. Every friend feed, status update, wall post, bulletin and photo upload is automatically delivered
• Messages: Quickly scroll through the Messages application for a snapshot of current work or personal e-mails, social site messages, and texts, with the ability to respond to any message however you want no matter how it was sent: text, email, IM and more.
• Social Status: Blast your status right from the home screen and even save time by updating your status to one or all your social networks at once.
• News Feeds: Keep track of your favorite news feeds, sports scores or even celebrity gossip without leaving the home screen.
• Calendar: Integrate your work calendar with Google Calendar into one Calendar widget
