MOTOBLUR ported to the G1, unreleased CLIQ looks on in envy
It’s unclear exactly how MOTOBLUR software might’ve leaked into the wild, but it’s already been repurposed in the best sort of way into a G1-friendly ROM. Despite its beta status it’s looking relatively snappy, but there are still some missing elements like WiFi and Bluetooth. If anything it’s a testament to how portable and hackable Android is turning out to be so far, and we look forward to the ongoing improvements to Android by diverse manufacturers being disseminated far and wide — though if Motorola had its way, it’d probably at least happen after the relevant device has hit the market. Video is after the break.

Beta Test: Motorola Blur Running on the G1 [Android]
So you bought the Android-debuting G1, but the experience has grown a bit stale? One guy ported Motorola’s Blur UI from the Cliq, complete with all the social networking widgets. Hopefully he’ll share the love soon. [AndroidandMe via MAKE]

Motorola DEXT goes on sale in the UK tomorrow, maybe sneaking out today
Statesiders will have to wait another month before getting their hands on the Motorola CLIQ, but the party’s getting started early in the UK: the DEXT, as it’s called across the pond, goes on sale at Orange shops tomorrow and Phones4U stores the day after. Still not soon enough for you? We’re also told that the Orange store in Milton Keynes will be having early sales today — do let us know if you snag one, won’t you?

Motorola CLIQ / DEXT exhaustively photographed, previewed
The Motorola CLIQ hasn’t gone on sale yet, but that hasn’t stopped a few units from leaking out here and there — Eldar at mobile-review just posted up one of the most thorough photo previews of the chunky slider we’ve seen yet. Interestingly, the keyboard continues to draw mixed reviews — while we rather liked it when we tried it out, m-r says it’s just “okay” and that the five-way rocker “wasn’t very handy.” We’ll have to use this thing a while for ourselves before we make up our minds, but for now, we’d direct you to the read link for a ton more photos.
