The Motorola Backflip Provides Comprehensive Features

Along with the Milestone, Motorola have embraced the Android OS with some success within the Backflip

. This uniquely designed handset provides the everyday functionality one would expect from the manufacturer, and incorporates both touch screen navigation along with the efficiency of a full QWERTY keyboard.

The TFT capacitive touchscreen measures 3.1 inches and utilises a pixel layout of 320x480 in which it displays 256K colours for unsurpassed depth and clarity of on screen content. An accelerometer sensor is built in for auto rotation of the screen, allowing it to be viewed in both portrait and landscape depending on the orientation of the phone. A backtrack touch panel offers an additional method of navigating the Android user interface.

The Backflip utilises several means of connecting to the cellular networks and internet, dependent upon what coverage is available at the time. The initial means of connecting to cellular networks is via class 12 versions of EDGE and GPRS in areas with low 3G coverage. Where 3G is available, HSDPA takes advantage of the increased data stream for an internet connection of 7.2 mega bytes per second. In areas where a signal from a wireless internet router is available, Wi-Fi kicks in to provide a much faster internet connection and therefore an enhanced web browsing experience. In order to carry out tasks such as transferring media files, USB connectivity allows the handset to be directly connected to a computer, whilst Bluetooth allows similar functions to be carried out between other compatible phones.

The dimensions of the Backflip are 108x53x15x3mm, and it weighs in at a respectable 133 grams. Its moderate weight will reassure many users about the build quality of the handset, whist its dimensions make it relatively pocket friendly. The Backflip is finished in a glossy black colour scheme with silver trim and detailing, for a sophisticated look.

Internal memory in the Backflip is 256MB as standard, allowing a good deal of storage for data such as media files or photos. A micro SD slot is included for this purpose also, with a pre-installed 2GB memory card. This can be upgraded, however to up to 32 GB by installing a larger memory card. The internal phonebook can store a seemingly unlimited number of contacts and has the popular and useful photocall feature built in.

The Backflip has plenty of offer to keep users busy. With a versatile media player which supports most everyday formats of both music and video files, a range of games are also pre-installed to keep users entertained. Social networking applications allow a convenient method of directly accessing popular sites such as FaceBook, MySpace and Twitter. Photobucket and Picasa integration allows photos taken on the phones camera to be uploaded to these sites in seconds for the world to enjoy.

The camera boasts 5 mega pixels, so the photos it takes are of good quality. It can shoot video in CIF at 30 frames per second as an alternative method of image capture.

The Motorola Backflip is an ideal choice for those who are looking for something different whilst maintaining a high level of everyday functionality.
