Motorola Backflip

Motorola Backflip

If you lusted after the Motorola CLIQ while trapped in an AT&T service plan, 2010 is your lucky year. The backwards, back-flipping CLIQ-like smartphone—the Motorola Backflip—will be arriving at AT&T this year. The Motorola Backflip is a multitasking Android smartphone that features MOTOBLUR and a unique reverse-flip design.Motorola says this new phone’s design makes it easier to enjoy videos, music and photos. The Backflips’ QWERTY keyboard helps you to blast through e-mails, texts, news feeds and social network messages. This device supports Bluetooth A2DP, a high-res 3.1” HVGA screen, 3G Internet, Wi-Fi access and a 5 megapixel camera.

The Motorola Backflip is not out yet and the details of its release date are scarce. The new Android-powered smartphone will be one of the few handsets arriving at AT&T this year—we think between that and its promise as a genuinely good phone; it’s enough to celebrate it.

CNET sites the Backflip as coming to AT&T on March 7, but nothing has been confirmed. The phone will launch in Q1 of this year. So if you’re looking for a spiffy and speedy Android smartphone with a solid build, Motorola may just have one for you.
