Aaron does a dogfight review between the Motorola CLIQ 2 and Samsung Epic 4G, two Android phones with QWERTY keyboards. Announced at CES, the CLIQ 2 is a huge improvement over the original and offers a 1 GHz processor, 3.7-inch display, 5-megapixel camera, and Android 2.2 (Froyo). On the other hand, the Samsung Epic 4G offers a 1 GHz processor, 4-inch Super AMOLED display, physical QWERTY keyboard, 5-megapixel camera, and Android 2.1 (for now, at least).

As always, both are strong contenders in the QWERTY space, and offer a lot of bang for the buck. Which one will win? Part 1 of 2.

Matthew Harman Well..coming from an Epic4G ownr...The Epic is a HUGE P.O.S.I hav had this since Sept 1 2010..And with no Droid update yet...And all the bugs that are showin up on this Device..I woud tell any1 that wants this device 2 look at the HTC EVO.. Stay away from the Epic until Sprint and Samsung get updates pushed to this device!! So far I am Xtemly disappointd with the Epic...

Gainaako Munyal As a current Samsung Fascinate user, i would have to say that the epic(the brother to the fascinate) is better from a hardware perspective. You currently can't really can't beat the Galaxy S line in hardware. I used to own a Droid x, that thing reboots all the fricken time.
Fahd Malik

Dell Pacino
Dell Pacino Epic, no question.
Maxwell Maser
Maxwell Maser i work for tmo and I say epic. Moto's designers were on crack when they designed the cliq 2's keyboard. It feels ok but there is a ton of unused space. The keys could have been way bigger. Also BLUR with 2.2 is WAY LAGGIER than TOUCHWIZ 2.1... I have a Vibrant with Touchwiz and I dont care if Samsung lied about updates there is no way I could rely on the Cliq 2 for my average day to day use. Its so laggy its pathetic. I feel bad when I sell it to people... I usually try and persuade customers to get a myt4g or g2 instead.
