Is "FAIL" now the new "FIRST" ??

... seems to be getting old quickly to me.]]>Mar 1st 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/Mar 1st 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/I agree. I knew AT&T would screw this up! They've been soo afraid to come out with anything android, I had a feeling they'd make it crappy when they finally did.

Give me a desire AT&T!

I haven't actually noticed that Fail is the New first, and i've never typed First..

I just think that AT&T's first Android device is this POS is an ABSOLUTE FAIL!!

I mean for what it is or who the market for this phone is, it actually could've been somehow ok (teen texters) but then AT&T has to go and fk up the OS by removing the GOOGLE functionality.

SO YES THIS GETS A FAIL!!!!]]>Mar 1st 2010 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/This phone is for majority of humans aka normal people, not for nerds like you?]]>Mar 1st 2010 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/
BTW, if you don't like AT&T's first Android device, wait. There are four more coming out.]]>Mar 1st 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/
It's not a fail it's a awesome phone and all their future phones are gonna rule like always if you don't like it don't buy the damm thing. ]]>Mar 1st 2010 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/More: http://bit.ly/moto-backflip-viewed-again

Who the hell uses all the bullshit ATT sticks on there? Nobody, that's who. People either instantly remove as much of the crapware as they can, or learn to live with it as a constant source of annoyance.

They're basically calling hoping their customers are just stupid enough to buy this thing on frenzy and hype, since that's been their experience with the iPhone for the past few years. Except this isn't the iPhone - there isn't a huge buzz around this device and nobody is going to bother if it obviously stinks.]]>Mar 1st 2010 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/
I agree, this is a fail for the first android phone. But I'll also say that perhaps, like the cliq, it will have its place (just not in my pocket). It's just that there are so many people waiting for that "win" phone from AT&T, especially considering every other carrier has two or three of the best smartphones either out there now, or coming soon, while we are all stuck with the dumbest of the dumbphones. Personally, I think we're going to be stuck with lame phones like this until the first of the winpho7 series phones come out by years end.]]>Mar 1st 2010 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/ATT didn't' remove Google, Motorola did!]]>Mar 1st 2010 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/Because the majority of humans use a keyboard that's on the back of their phone, right? Oh yeah, I forgot that Yahoo is also the biggest and most widely used search engine by all the normal people too..

I'm sure Google doesn't mind a carrier throwing bloatware onto their phones, but like Hell Google will stand for removing its own search engine from something it helped create.]]>Mar 1st 2010 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/Mar 1st 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/

Does Engadget really advocate for a separate Android Marketplace for each carrier, or did I parse that sentence incorrectly? Maybe it was sarcasm that I missed.

Whenever I see a branded version of an app, it reeks to me of vendor-enforced control of my handset. It's like AT&T telling me something like, "no, you can't use Google Maps Navigation, but here, use our version, it's better, trust us," when they're really giving you a very limited feature-set that they'll never update.]]>Mar 1st 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/Mar 1st 2010 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/Mar 1st 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/Mar 1st 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Definitely a huge failure by AT&T on this... I don't blame Motorola as much, since the current distribution model, despite Google's efforts, still strongly favors carriers.
