Actually, most of the value add for Blur is really applications integrated into a cohesive software app. I think Motorola did a great job of pulling the various things together, into a useful interface. A lot of the functionality could be implemented with apps available in the Android Market, but Motorola has done the heavy lifting of making sure they all work well together. I actually think Blur is value add, and enjoyed the experience, even after using it for a while (I didn't get bored).
I like Blur don't love the Cliq otherwise. It has some good, and some bad things. If you are interested, I wrote an exhaustive review of the Cliq (and Blur) on my blog: http://mswolfson.wordpress.com/2009/11/22/in-depth-review-of-motorola-cliq-android-phone/ I would say that I am gunning for Motorola to succeed. They are putting a lot of resources into supporting the platform (and have publicly stated that all of their phones will be exclusively Android from this point forward). They are gunning to be a big player in this space, and I hope they do well (I have no affiliation with Motorola BTW). More success for the phone vendors supporting the platform is good for everyone in this space.
