Dianne - we have a couple of problems on the CLIQ. In both cases, the APIs are technically working correctly, but the resulting user experience is unfortunate, so these may not be exactly what you are asking for. But, in case you are interested:
(1) The CLIQ has a lot of contact data (from facebook and so on) that is not visible through the Contact APIs. From our user's point of view, that results in contacts who simply do not appear in our UI or in contacts with phone numbers that we can't see. They see that experience as broken. We have no workaround for that, apart from hoping that that the CLIQ moves rapidly to 2.0. (2) The CLIQ has no LED colour control, so our LED-colour configuration UI appears broken to our users. The docs do say that LED colour support is optional, but without an API to query for colour support we can't take the UI away automatically. We're fixing that with a special-case CLIQ detector, but that is obviously not a good solution in a amrket with a lot of new phones appearing.
