It comes with a manual keyboard and a great screen and is still only They put the manual keyboard on the back side of the reverse flip. It opens like a book with the keyboard on the back being exposed at all times.
The screen is also a big part of the Motorola Backflip, of course. It has a capacitive touch screen that comes in at 3. This is an average size for a screen on a smartphone now. The physical resolution of the display is by or HVGA. The Backflip does come with an accelerometer to change the mode of the screen from portrait to landscape and back again automatically.
This is handy for texting and for viewing web pages. Software Similar to the Cliq and the Motorola Devour, the Backflip uses Motoblur software, which helps merge contact information from various e-mail accounts and social networking sites, including Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Exchange, Twitter, and Picasa, into a master list. In addition, e-mails aside from Gmail are combined into a universal in-box and appointments are also combined into one calendar.
Multimedia One area that remains relatively untouched by Android 2. Music quality was quite good. For example, Motorola adds MS Exchange support that's better than the fairly weak Google implementation in 2. That said, we miss the updated OS' convenience features such as favorites for calling and more features in the Android Market.
It's cluttered if you turn everything on, but you do have 5 screens to spread things out and you can remove any widget that bugs you. That pad on the back behind the display panel is a trackpad which works quite well though we don't see why one is needed with a touchscreen phone. It's just slightly slower than the Motorola Devour.
But we find it tolerable enough. The phone has megs of RAM which is enough to run Android 2. The card slot is under the battery door. Web pages load quickly thanks to the fast connection rather than the slowish CPU and apps download quickly on the Android Market. Voice quality is loud and clear via the earpiece, though on some calls we could hear our own voice transmitted back.
Our callers said we sounded very clear and the phone's DSP did a good job of whacking background noise. The speakerphone is fairly loud and fuller than average, and made for clear calls on both ends. The phone worked well with the Plantronics Discovery Bluetooth headset as well as the Jawbone Hero and as you'd expect music sounded good with the Motorola S9 HD stereo Bluetooth headset.
The phone has a 3. The Backflip has both speed dialing and voice dialing. The x pixel capacitive display is very sharp, clear and bright. There's no auto-brightness setting but the phone does have a proximity sensor no cheek dialing and an accelerometer which you can turn off if you one want the phone to switch orientation when the keyboard is deployed.
The 3. We'd love a higher resolution display but that would make the phone larger and more expensive, and we do appreciate the Backflip's small size. The keyboard is very large and backlit in white. The keys are slightly domed and don't have a huge amount of travel but more than the Moto Droid's. They're large and easy to type on using the pads of your fingers and there's no need to poke carefully with fingernails. This is definitely a good keyboard for large-handed guys, while those with small hands might find it hard to reach the center keys.
There are dedicated keys for menu, search, back, home, email and the web browser. The camera lens and LED flash are embedded in the lower left corner of the keyboard. Like all Android phones, the Backflip cloud syncs to Gmail for email and contacts and Google Calendar.
Photos for caller ID are pulled from your Google, Exchange and social networking services. And you can of course use the excellent webkit web browser to get to Google's search page. Still, we're less than pleased with the switch. We'd say this is the most carrier customized version of an Android phone yet, but thankfully they haven't done more than add apps and switch the default search.
It gives excellent spoken turn by turn directions and has a good POI database. They make some sense on a feature phone but none on a smartphone. Normally you'll use the Android Market application on the phone to download new free and paid applications. And you can indeed do this unfettered on the Backflip.
