Motorola BACKFLIP

Motorola Backflip

Motorola announced during CES a new type of Android phone with a “reverse flip” QWERTY keyboard.   The keyboard of the phone faces out when the hinged phone is closed, and behind the screen is a trackpad like feature they have dubbed backtrack.  It also features Android 1.5 with MOTOBLUR and will be upgraded to Android 2.1.The Backflip is basically a cousin of the Cliq, with very similar hardware specs, but including the trackpad and reverse flip keyboard feature.  Some of the basic features besides mentioned above are:

  • 528Mhz Qualcomm 7200 Processor
  • 320×480 Screen 3.1″ Screen
  • 3G connectivity for AT&T (no T-Mobile)
  • Wifi 802.11b/g
  • 5MP Camera with LED Flash
  • Comes with 2GB microSD card installed and supports up to 32GB

Nothing ground breaking except the change in interface.  Look for this to move into AT&T land soon.
