CES 2010: Motorola Backlflip Turns the Phone Inside Out
revision3.com Best phone at CES: Motorola’s new Backflip phone offers a unique twist on the cellphone. it’s a keyboard/full screen Android-based phone that folds in and out lengthwise. But instead of folding the keyboard on top of the screen like a traditional clamshell, the Backflip folds so the keyboard and the screen both stay on the outside! Why do that? Well first, it lets the phone operate as a full-screen slate. And you can bend it forward half way to turn it into a stand-up media player, digital clock or photo frame. It also includes an amazingly innovative touch pad on the BACK of the screen, which lets you control the screen by touching the back of it. No word on price or carrier, but it is a GSM phone, so itll be available on either AT&T or T-Mobile. Great phone, I cant wait to use one.

I find it funny that I’ve had an AT&T phone for almost a year, never dropped a call, but my girlfriend’s Verizon phone has dropped a call 3 times so far, and shes had it for 3 days…
Ugh, I **** the idea of the backflip. Nothing to protect the keyboard?
jeeeeeeze…. im American, i care about technology, i don’t like Verizon… pretty brave to insult a whole country! if we didn’t care about technology why WOULD we have 3G though
exactly. if i owned verizon i would have a huge choice of phones! think about it. ev eryone would come to them haveing huge 3g and a huge choice of phones everyone would go to verizon!
@qoohkLive7
Look, and think. Really, who’s the American, you or Verizon? Because only in America saying stupid and ridiculous things like this is tolerated.
VERIZON = AMERICANS
AND THEY DON”T CARE ABOUT TECHNOLOGY!!
all they care is (we r the best, we have 3G HERE, we have a MAP FOR IT!, it’s ALL RED)
FUCK VERIZON!
really cool
why the **** doesnt verizon have any good phones!
hlp it gos t at&t
which one is better??? i need a phone i love taking pics and movies and cool stuff on phones anything that is stateof the art. anyone want to tell me
I LOVE IT!!, but i’m not at&t or t-mobile
Damn It lol
If you keep flipping it it will break up theirs no point of making a back flip phone. If it was a qwerty slider I would buy it but not a back flip just plain stupid.
i hope its not going to be $300
thats my dream phone
Thats absolutely a waist of money
I think he is ***…
it is
who is this going to
Nice keyboard – not convince with the keyboard being exposed.
I’m thinking 300 with a plan. The iphone 3gs is 200 with a plan.
the greates desing ever. iphone and nexus has nothing on the backflip
nexus one is better
such a dumb *** design
I HOPE ITS AT&T!
nicely priced? whats the price?
i don’t think they are trying to be fancy with a touch pad at the back… think about how easy you can switch between home screens with out taking off ur hands and swiping on the touch screen… i think that’s the purpose of it and think its really gonna help with ease on user end.
