Motorola Backflip Mobile Phone

Aptly named, Motorola Backflip is a Cliq look-alike, but with a new twist. On first look, the mobile phone will look pretty ordinary – rectangular with rounded edges and all. But it’s only when you swing open the QWERTY keyboard that you realise the uniqueness of the design. The handset’s keyboard is hinged to fold behind the screen when closed. When you open it, it can appear directly beneath the table, meaning you can use the keyboard like a stand while watching videos and the device can be used like a mini computer as well.

We’re not entirely sure about this design though. True, its unique, but how the users will take it is a question. Motorola Backflip smartphone is powered by an Android 1.5 operating system, which according to Motorola is upgradeable to Android 2.1. And of course, this Motorola smartphone comes integrated with MOTOBLUR, which makes life as smooth as possible by giving you one-touch access to all your contact information, be it form Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Google or Picasa.

But Motoblur doesn’t stop there. It gives you a lot of widgets which you can play with and do so much more. From the looks of it, Backflip could definitely be a huge hit with social-networking buffs. This mobile phone sports a 3.1” touchscreen display that has a 480 x 320 pixel display resolution and is equipped with support for 3.5G, WiFi and Bluetooth. Furthermore, Backflip sports a USB port and a 3.5mm audio socket.

Motorola Backflip has a very respectable 5MP camera that has 4x digital zoom, autofocus and LED flash. The gizmo has a 1400 mAh battery which can provide a talktime of 6 hours and standby time of 13 days. Supports for AOL Instant Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Windows Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk are there and the smartphone has a multimedia player the supports MP3, MPEG-4, AAC, AAC+, H.263, H.264, MIDI and WAV formats. We might have to wait a few more months to have a taste of this gadget, though.
