Bluetooth

The Cliq XT's Bluetooth works just fine. I had no problem pairing it to both mono or stereo headsets. Sound quality in both was very good. Phone calls via Bluetooth were of nearly identical quality when compared to calls using just the handset. That's saying a lot. Because the Cliq XT is running Android 1.5, there are a number of Bluetooth profiles not supported, such as PBA for integration with advanced car kits. There is no OPP, no FTP.

Clock

The Cliq XT is a perfectly good watch replacement. When the screen is asleep, a quick press of any button will bring up the lock screen, which has a large digital readout of the time at the bottom of the screen. If you're more of the analog type, Blur features a nice analog clock on one of the home screens. The alarms all work well, and are easily set, with clear icons to let you know that you're going to hear some noise from your phone at O'dark-thirty.

GPS

As far as navigation is concerned, the Cliq XT has Google Maps for Mobile and TeleNav GPS Navigation software on board. TeleNav's offering, which costs $10 per month, is much more robust when it comes to features. Google Maps for Mobile, however, is a solid free alternative. Both services mapped out identical directions when going from Point A to Point B, and in the end that's more important than fancy functionality. TeleNav's biggest leg up on Google Maps is that it supports turn-by-turn, voice-guided directions and will re-route you if you get lost. With Google, you have to manually click "next" to get the next step in the directions.
