Motorola introduced the first of a new generation of smartphones on Thursday that it hopes will reverse its plummeting cell phone sales.
The phone, called the Cliq, is meant for young people obsessed with social networks. Instead of the traditional menu of features, the Cliq’s home screen is an ever-changing mosaic of e-mail, Twitter tweets and status updates, superimposed over photos of the people sending those messages.
Phone is based on Google’s Android operating system, but Motorola has substantially modified the Google software
to make its phone stand out from the dozen or so other Android phones that are expected to be introduced before the holiday sales season. While phone users will be able to download and use any of the growing list of applications for the Android system, the look of Motorola’s phones and the way they operate will be different from other handsets using the operating system.
