T-Mobile has made available the successor to the the original Android-powered Motorola CLIQ today, the Motorola CLIQ XT.

Despite recent rumblings of a $99.99 price point, it appears T-Mobile didn't get that memo and has instead rolled the device out at the cost we reported on earlier of $129.99.

The Motorola CLIQ XT differs from its predecessor in that it loses the slide-out QWERTY keyboard and, well, that's about it. You've still got the trusty old Android 1.5 OS onboard and the same 5 megapixel camera. And yes, Motorola went with MOTOBLUR again.

If your a person of faith, you'd probably feel hopeful that this talk of all Android devices getting upgraded to 2.1 will in fact become a reality, and that the current presence of 1.5 is irrelevant. If that's the case, then buy away. As we mentioned when we reviewed the Motorola CLIQ XT, it really is a great little phone.

The Motorola CLIQ XT can be purchased from T-Mobile's website or T-Mobile retail stores.
