I believe when 2.2 is available for the Cliq, you should be able to root it and get WiFi tethering. Not sure if 2.2 will be made available though.

I'm a n00b in these forums, and this seems to be a late response, but I'm running a rooted [official TMo/Motorola] 2.1 on my Cliq (and have been for a few months now), and am running Barnacle WiFi Tether just fine on it. I use it all the time with either my laptop or iPod Touch. And even before that, I was running a rooted 1.6 custom ROM and was able to use WiFi tethering on it. Forgot which app that was though, as it came with the custom ROM I used.
It eats up battery life like crazy, but you'd be shocked at the range. I was broadcasting Pandora into my iTouch, and I wanted to see how far it would go. It streamed just fine till around 75 feet away, even through building columns and offices and cubicles. Actually, I didn't even test where it cut off, since I literally ran out of building.
