Want to know how to sell Motorola’s CLIQ XT for T-Mobile in 60 seconds? Look no further than this pamphlet that’s circulating at this time that the carrier is (well, probably is) just days away from release, where we learn all about its 3.1-inch display, touch controls, Flash Lite support (avert your eyes, CLIQ users), and pinch-and-zoom browser navigation, all paired up with a 5 megapixel camera and that love-it-or-hate-it Blur skin atop Android 1.5. Between that little pitch and the gallery down below, we figure it’ll take you about 60 seconds to finish flipping through the whole mess — so are you sold, or what?

It’s no surprise that the Motorola XT701 (aka Motoroi) was plan to land in the hands of China Unicom with its WCDMA radio, but man, that must’ve been a painful two-and-a-half-month wait for Chinese Motofans. Mind you, considering earlier worries about Google’s departure from China, it’s better late than never, right? Like its Korean and American counterparts, the XT701 also sports Android 2.0 but boosted with WAPI support — China’s very own WiFI standard. Fork out ¥4,299 or about $630 and this phone’s yours.

Without naming names, Motorola’s Canadian outpost dropped some teasers today that versions of all three of its midrange Blur-powered Android handsets for GSM networks — the Backflip, DEXT, and Quench — will be coming to the country in the first half of 2010. What’s more, they’ll be hitting “all three national wireless carriers” — a little bit of a slap for Mobilicity and WIND, yes, but generally good news for the overwhelming majority of subscribers. Perhaps the most engaging attention bit in this place is that they’ve called out the DEXT by name, continuing Moto’s tradition of going with European branding over American for its Canadian launches, a trend started by Telus’ Milestone. We don’t yet know which carrier will get which phone, what they’ll retail for, or precisely when they’ll be on shelves, but needless to say, the Google-powered situation north of the border just got a whole lot prettier.
