T-Mobile's Motorola CLIQ preorder looking good for October 19

Motorola promised the CLIQ in the fourth quarter of the year, and by golly, it's looking like they might not have been lying. Some sort of promo pamphlet for the phone has found its way onto TmoNews, suggesting preorders will be taken starting October 19 -- and unless T-Mobile plans on holding onto folks' hard-earned cash for over two months, that means CLIQs in time for stocking-stuffing are a near certainty. Of course, we'd already heard similar rumors, so this is all lining up nicely -- the only question is whether preorders will be limited to T-Mobile customers to start as they've been in the past.

i definitely want this any word on pricing?

T-mobile won't bill you for a pre-order until the phone ships.

T-mobile's website had a page up that stated the phone would be free on 24 month contract. I doubt it will be less than $99 on 24 month term.

Tremor, it's free on contract in the UK for Orange customers. So I wouldn't be so skeptical!

Usually UK residents get much better pricing for phones on contract than those of us across the pond.

I'm thinking $129 or $149. Something on T-Mobile has to compete with the Pre and iPhone, right?

Now, to devise a way to remove Google from almost every aspect of this phone. Does anyone know if it will support Exchnange like the MyTouch?
