Uhh you have to start somewhere...

So much for all the angry verizon fanboys and their hatred of AT&T's love affair with the iPhone.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if AT&T has more and more different phones while maintaining iPhone exclusivity.

That to me would make AT&T still number 1]]>Dec 16th 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/
"Uhh you have to start somewhere..."

So, AT&T is starting by crippling Android of some of it's key features?]]>Dec 16th 2009 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/
Okay you're point? That's AT&T's decision. If you don't like it move on....

Even if it wasn't the gmail you'd still find something to bitch about like all verizon fanboys and anti apple club members....

That's just your MO.

Eventually AT&T will get it right. However this phone sounds perfect for my little brother (who wants a physical keyboard for texting).]]>Dec 16th 2009 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/What? If verizon isn't so in love with the iPhone, why are they coming out with the LOWEST spec'd android phone on the market? To make sure that android on their network still doesn't overshadow the iphone. I KNEW when they finally came out with an android device it would be crappy, and this is proof. With HD2's and Droids hitting the market, this thing is just pathetic.

And about not having gmail - "that's just their decision"? Of course it is, everything that everyone does is "their decision", but that doesn't make it a good idea. AT&T releasing an android phone without gmail is completely rediculous, and as an AT&T user who has been waiting for an android device I don't have to use unlocked, I REALLY want them to get a good android phone, and as a paying customer it upsets me that they keep ignoring android.

I have every right to complain.

i understand that people can touch type on qwerty i myself can do this. however if this phone was closed i dont get how you would go about touch typing on it, seeing as the keyboard is on the opposite side of the screen]]>Dec 16th 2009 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/
Also you have to flip the keyboard back to use the cameras unless you're really going to be taking pictures of yourself and a friend or two all night... ]]>Dec 16th 2009 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/I wasn't too serious, but my point was that you would have the screen flipped back so that the only thing in your hand would be a mini keyboard. And hey now I have an actual use case for it. With the screen flipped back, it could connect via Bluetooth as an keyboard to an HTPC or PS3 like a diNovo Mini. But on second thought, you might as well as the screen flipped open to use as a touchpad.]]>Dec 16th 2009 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/hahaha, sorry guess sarcasm doesnt flow through internet too well now does it?

although, i do like the bluetooth keyboard/touchpad idea. although it might have no use, it could be cool. maybe use on a ps3]]>Dec 16th 2009 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/

I know right? it looks exactly like the front of the iPhones design, they just added in their different buttons in replacement of iPhones home button. Yes fanboys will probably immediately say "Apple didn't invent a black screen blah blah," but its not even the black screen, its the actual DESIGN that looks the same (Most iHaters don't seem to understand the concept of "design").

Kind of ironic too that this would be ATTs first Android device.]]>Dec 16th 2009 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/Dec 16th 2009 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/
