Motorola BACKFLIP review: Back and forth

Android elders must be staring at this one in disbelief. Looking down at it for all we know, measuring it up. What about the BACKFLIP? We guess it's exactly the kind of gadget to stare back, humble but defiant. Android was a life...

Unique form factor and sturdy build quality ; Quad-band GSM and quad-band 3G support (7.2 Mbps HSDPA) ; 3.1" 256K-color 320x480 pixel capacitive touchscreen ; Android OS v1.5 (upgradeable to later versions) with MOTOBLUR UI and Live Widgets ; Folding...

Poor sunlight legibility ; No multi-touch ; One-finger zoom works only on the BACKTRACK touchpad ; No smart and voice dialing ; Limited camera features, lens on the QWERTY keyboard ; No free GPS navigation solution ; No Flash support for the web...

Android was a life-saving blood transfusion for Motorola. Not only did the MILESTONE put them back on the map – it gave them a license to experiment. They didn’t think twice to take it. So here we are, watching the BACKFLIP do the robot dance. This one...

Review: Motorola Backflip Smartphone

Despite some of forward thinking hardware, Moto's Backflip is hampered by a horrid Android skin.

Creative design balances style and function. MicroSD port lets you pack it full of tunes. Supports Android Marketplace for app downloads. QWERTY keys are large, easy to use. Beefy hinge keeps the phone from swinging around wildly. 5-MP camera (with...

One of the weakest Android offerings to date. Replaces Android’s Google search with Yahoo. Underpowered and responds at a glacial pace while multitasking. Filled with AT&T-branded bloatware. Flimsy battery door. Screen is too small for its icon-heavy UI

Motorola Backflip (AT&T)

AT&T's first Android phone, the Motorola Backflip, is full of major errors from everybody involved.

Good keyboard. MotoBlur integrates e-mail and social networking well. Solid battery life.

Design renders it nearly unusable. Last year's specs. MotoBlur still running at Android 1.5. A boatload of bloatware.

Media and Conclusions A combination of the Backflip's underpowered hardware and AT&T's hideous software makes the Backflip a frustrating media phone. Music plays fine, though there's no included syncing software (all that bloatware and no syncing...

Motorola Backflip - platinum silver (AT&T) review

We can't say this was a complete surprise , but AT&T made it official in February and introduced the Motorola Backflip as its first Google Android device. The Backflip made its grand debut at CES 2010 , where we awarded the smartphone with our Best of...

The Motorola Backflip features a fresh design with a trackpad behind the display for navigating the phone. The Android device also offers a 5-megapixel camera, extra AT&T services, and the full spectrum of wireless options.

The Backflip is sluggish at times and spontaneously rebooted once during our review period. The smartphone is only running Android 1.5. Screen size is a bit small, and we worry about the keyboard's durability since it's exposed on the back.

As AT&T's first Android phone, the Motorola Backflip offers a unique design but it's rather lackluster in the features and performance department. It's a decent choice if you're upgrading from a feature phone, but anyone looking for speed and power...

Motorola Backflip with MotoBlur

AT&T's first Android smartphone, the Motorola Backflip, is unlike other Android cell phones currently available. Yes, it runs the Google Android 1.5 operating system and has WiFi like many other models, but the real difference is the cell phone's...

Motorola BACKFLIP

The Motorola BACKFLIP, which combines the social saviness and personalization of MOTOBLUR with the multitasking performance of a smart phone.

The Motorola BackFlip has an RRP of RM1699, but we only recommend the device to the text-heavy or social networking crowd. While the phone does come with an interesting design, we have trouble looking past its dated Android UI and the lack of...

Motorola BACKFLIP

It wasn't that long ago that some cell phone pundits had written off Motorola as a major player in the industry. The introduction of the Backflip may prove some of them wrong. The Backflip offers up an honest and modern cell phone experience, meeting...

Motorola Backflip Review

The Motorola Backflip is one of the newest Android releases by Motorola. The USPs of the Backflip are the unique slider design and the integrated social networking features in the MotoBLUR UI.

Motorola Backflip Review

The Motorola Backflip is an inexpensive smartphone with an unusual reverse-flip keyboard with an HVGA touchscreen and an large trackpad. Brighthand.com Correspondent Jen Edwards reviewed AT&T's only Android OS-based device.

Cool touchpad navigator panel behind the screen ; Nice Keyboard ; Fairly good camera

Slow processor ; Short Battery Life ; Very poor call quality ; Poor wireless data connections
