2. Motorola DEXT/CLIQ
The Motorola DEXT would probably be the social networking phone of the moment. Most of that is down to the MotoBlur custom UI that sits on top of the Android build. The home screen has large customisable widgets, but on it you can have quite in depth access to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Bebo.
The contacts book goes even further and pulls in all the updates on all channels from all of your friends via the Happenings app, which is at the heart of this UI. You can poke, write on people's walls and, when you place a call, it brings up your contact's current status - either an instant ice-breaker or a topic of conversation for you to avoid.
Naturally, you can filter the social noise down with a well placed series of tabs but probably one of the nicest feature is that you can update the four listed social networks with the same status message at the touch of a single button. It'll also do direct photo uploads to Facebook, MySpace, Picasa and Photobucket.
The handset it self is both touch and QWERTY-enabled. It has a decent 3.1-inch screen to play with and a 5-megapixel camera too. The good news for those that are a fan is that the upcoming Motorola Backflip is going to have MotoBlur at the helm as well.
