Agreed! Somebody should be taken out behind the woodshed and beaten for creating such travesty of modern industrial design! Shame on you Motorola! FAIL]]>Jan 6th 2010 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 1:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/What are you talking about? Industrial design is about pushing the boundaries and making a cool experience. This is a unique form factor, and if it were Apple launching it instead everyone would be gushing. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's certainly pretty amazing, and they deserve credit for coming up with something you haven't seen before.

The trackpad on the back is also something new, and could be pretty cool if you think about how it could be used by game developers (who wants to have to click around on things on screen, fidget with keys on a keypad or awkwardly roll around a trackball).

I don't get where people think this is something for "kiddies" and the Droid is somehow for adults? It's every bit as serious a contender. If I hadn't already bought the Droid I'd be looking at this (for BLUR alone).]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://bit.ly/moto-backlip-details-best-worst]]>Jan 9th 2010 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/
I'm with you on that. And really if you want to put a stupid touch pad why not on the back of the freaking keyboard where your hands are naturally going to be?

It seems like the whole phone was designed around the trackpad and finding some way to protect it. Fail!]]>Jan 6th 2010 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/

And I've used a lot of kb's for 3 minutes each. So I'd know.

No but really, it's flat as hell, and that defeats the purpose of a hw kb. It's so flat it might as well be a touch screen.]]>Jan 6th 2010 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/
I'll keep a Nexus One on Verizon, or a webOS device.

One more day til Palm's Press Event!]]>Jan 6th 2010 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/really AT&T??]]>Jan 6th 2010 9:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 1:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/
Of course, I still think that ATT=iPhone, so Android/Google/All other carriers=Pointing and laughing for not havong android and their network. That's how the universe should work, right?

pretty weird form factor but it looks cool.

A bummer Moto...but nice to see you guys throwing out new idea. The Droid and Cliq are good devices. Nice to see Moto back on its games. (And most likely to see some WebOS and Android love on AT&T)]]>Jan 6th 2010 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/1 Moto
1 Dell
3 HTC.

I would have like to think this was the "bottom feeder" for the young crowd with a Droid like upcoming device.

I guess/hope HTC will take care of the high end Android on ATT]]>Jan 6th 2010 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 6th 2010 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/
Plus I like the idea of the hinge and the 'dock mode'. Once 2.1 is loaded on there then it'll perfect to use as a GPS device.]]>Jan 7th 2010 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/Jan 9th 2010 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/motorola-backflip-hands-on/

I had never owned a Motorola cell phone prior to my Droid but they certainly have a few interesting models out now, I need to get me a Backflip actually.

it is getting 2.1

The keyboard is way better then droids.
Give it a chance people. i really have no complaintes
the keyboard is recessed so that when you put it on a table the keyboard doesnt touch the table.

I think its a good first android phone.

I cant wait for the nexus 1 and the htc eternity.

Goodbye iphone. iphone is getting kinda boring now.
