There’s no better way to make sure that you get a highly anticipated device than to pre-order it, and Best Buy up in Canada wants to make sure that you do just that with a few of their upcoming handsets. The BlackBerry Pearl 9100, the Motorola DEXT, and the Motorola QUENCH are all up for pre-order right now if you’re interested, and you really think that there’s going to be a line.

Both of the Motorola handsets are Android-based, and also feature the company’s MotoBLUR customized User Interface. As you’ve heard in the past, MotoBLUR is just another one of the social networking integration methodologies all of these companies are coming up with, with real-time streaming keeping you in the know at all times.

As for the BlackBerry Pearl 9100, or known as the Pearl 3G down South, that’s also up for pre-order. You can do the deed with any of the devices by going in store and dropping $50 to reserve your handset, in which case they’ll give you a call as to when they’re available. The DEXT is going to be released by Bell Mobility, and the QUENCH will hit Rogers. The BlackBerry is being pre-ordered for TELUS only right now, and that will probably go for $29.99.

Motorola CLIQ Review Up on SlashGear

Kim Poh Liaw — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:58:28 +0000

Available in Motorola CLIQ for US and Motorola DEXT in Europe, check out SlashGear latest review on the first Motorola Android OS. The Motorola CLIQ has a 3.1-inch full touch screen, a slide-out QWERTY hardware keyboard and also featuring its unique MOTOBLUR with tight social networking site integration. “MOTOBLUR is certainly a good start, and in certain ways we prefer it to HTC’s system of integrating social networking with individual contacts but keeping them differentiated from each other. Having messages and communication from every paradigm – email, SMS, Facebook messages, tweets and more – can make communicating more straightforward, but it does require some setup. While the CLIQ attempts to automatically match contacts across the services, anything it can’t combine will need to be done manually.” Full review can be read here
