Today I purchased a Motorola DEXT (aka Cliq) from Optus. Overall I like it. It feels more polished than the Nokia N97 which I bought last year. The range of apps is good. Even though the phone only ships with Android 1.6, 2.1 for the DEXT is due in Q3 2010.
The apps seem to run nice and fast. The responsive touch screen is bright and clear. I am yet to try to make a call on it from home, but the 3G data seems as fast as my Telstra 3G service, so the signal should be OK.
