The Motorola DEXT (known as the CLIQ south of the border) is coming to Bell in the first half of the year. Rogers, Bell, and TELUS were announced to get Android phones from Motorola with the MOTOBLUR socially-inclined user interface and services, and this is the second of the batch to be revealed.  The BACKFLIP was announced earlier for TELUS, which leaves the QUENCH for Rogers.

The DEXT is a pretty straightforward slider with a full QWERTY keyboard: it has a 3.1″ touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G, and 3.5mm headphone jack. To get a feel for what MOTOBLUR is all about it’s best to take a look at our hands-on video with the DEXT. For more information, sign-ups for availability notification, and a chance to win your own DEXT, hit up bell.ca/dext.

Okay, I have to stop writing about Motorola phones before my Shift key ups and bitchslaps me.
