The Competition: CrackBerry.com Reviews the Storm2; Moto Cliq Around the Web
What, you thought the Palm Pre and webOS were going to be the 'latest and greatest' in perpetuity? Nope, we're going to take a quick break from our 'all-Pre, all-the-time' coverage to point out that there are two big competitors landing on the scene tonight with reviews aplenty.
First up, CrackBerry.com's Kevin Michaluk comes in with a full review of the BlackBerry Storm2. The first Storm was disappointing to most, but does the Storm2 redeem? Kevin is optimistic:
The Storm2 fixes many of the BlackBerry Storm's outstanding issues and makes a ton of incremental improvements, all of which add up to something that feels noticeably better. In a way that never quite applied to the original Storm, the Storm2 could legitimately be called the flagship BlackBerry.

Meanwhile, reviews of the Motorola Cliq with it's Synergy-competitor MotoBlur service have hit the web, at Engadget, Gizmodo, Phonescoop, and Techcrunch to name a few. It looks like battery life is a problem and while MotoBlur has a leg up in that it can pull in statuses on top of what Synergy can handle, the consensus seems to be that all that information isn't filtered very well. Update: Sister Site AndroidCentral has a nice roundup of the money quotes from the various reviews.
How do you think they stack up against the Pre?
