Mobile phone maker Motorola and wireless carrier T-Mobile have started the deployment of a new update for the users of a Motorola CLIQ handset, namely software update 1.4.8. The new solution comes with a series of improvements for the phone's battery, touchscreen, and Bluetooth functionality, and others more, the handset vendor announced. However, it seems that the new solution won't bring Android 2.1 on the device, even if users might have expected for that to happen.

The new software update has already started to roll-out to Motorola CLIQ owners out there, it seems, and TmoNews reports that 1000 users have received the solution. The operating system on the device remains 1.5, yet a wide range of enhancements are included in the package, such as an improved set-up wizard that will make it easier to have MOTOBLUR up and running.

Among the other improvements the new software update 1.4.8 brings to CLIQ, we can count: - General improvements to text messaging - especially for longer message threads - Enhances audio quality in certain scenarios in which users experienced issues - The “End Call” key was relocated within the calling screen to reduce instances of unintentionally ending Active calls - Improves user interface performance-consistently notifying the user when a new call is coming in which reduces missed call notifications - Additional device stability reduces occurrence of unresponsiveness and/or programs quitting unexpectedly - Adds the ability to view documents in Microsoft Office 2007 format.

At the same time, Motorola notes that the new software solution will allow users to listen to visual voicemail via Bluetooth, and that it will also enable syncing of the handset with the Bluetooth car kit, so that the latter will display the names of incoming callers. In addition, the update will offer faster GPS performance for apps like Google Maps or Geotagging of photos, and comes with updated Google Mobile Services application as well, for access to Maps, Talk, YouTube, Android Market, and more.
