Motorola is reported to have accidentally leaked an update for its Motorola CLIQ today. According to Eric Zeman over at PhoneScoop, the 1.3.8 software update was available for about 15 minutes, before going back into hiding. The leaked update follows an official CLIQ software update that improved battery life, touchscreen accuracy, and cellular connectivity on the Android-powered smartphone last month. We have no idea what this rumored update entails, or even if the alleged leak was in fact pushed out to some 600 users, but it’s interesting that Motorola themselves let the software slip out.

Have you been blessed with this rumored update on your Motorola CLIQ? Let us know what differences you’re seeing in the comments below!

    I have gotten this update and I do see some significant improvements in touch sensitivity.

    Also the icon for receiving a text message has changed.

    In terms of battery life, 10 hours going and still 72%

    FYI: It also wiped out all sms conversations

    I got it. I haven’t seen any real improvments. It did say something about. improving the gps but I can’t remember what else it said. Its not android 2.1. Or even 1.6.

    Today I got the update it was soo lucky that at that perticular point in time in my class that I decided to click the update icon and I got 1.3.8 and the only differences is that there is a new sim manager and the touchscreen response is batter. Also the connectivity has been great expecially when I’m in school I usually got poor signal, but after the update it was great I even got 3G. The update takes a little bit of time like about 10 minutes but it was totally worth the waiting time. If you have any questions I can answer them my email is. zack1202@gmail.com

    I Got The Update And Noticed Nothing New… I Can No Longer Poke People Back From My Happenings Screen On Facebook. Other Than That I Have Noticed Nothing Different One Way Or Another…! I Was Hoping It Was 2.0 When I Saw That I Had One Available…

    What? no it didn’t wipe out all sms convo’s. I got the update and still have all my messages. Not a single one went missing, I do have better touch screen response along with the sim manager, battery life is improved as well

    2.0 would have been a nice little surprise!
