subject: A Review Of Motorola's New Device The Flipout [print this page] Motorola have broken away from the pack and unveiled a very different design for their latest handset, the impressive looking Flipout.
This great handset certainly has a lot to boast about with regards to connectivity. The phone boasts 3G facilities in addition to EDGE and GPRS. What this means for the consumer is that they are pretty much covered with regards to web connection wherever they go. This is not only important for web browsing but perhaps more vitally e mails, meaning you are constantly kept up to date with what is happening. WiFI is also supported, giving an all together smoother and quicker experience when connected to a local router, be it at home or work or a publicly available one. The handset uses Androids WebKit browser for surfing the net. Part of this package includes Adobe's Flash Lite package. A handy document browser is also included on the phone allowing you to view PDF files in addition to Microsoft Office files. Features such as this are obviously going to appeal to the more business end user, widening the appeal of the handset away from the more obvious younger crowd who will undoubtedly fall for its stylish looks and social networking capabilities.
From the front the Motorola Flipout is unusual in that it is a perfectly square design. Measuring 67 x 67 x 17mm, this design sits nicely in the palm thanks to not only its shape but also it compact measurements. Motorola have achieved this by locating a 5 line Qwerty keypad underneath the screen. This is easily accesible by pivoting the screen and will appeal to people who use the phone for a lot of e mailing and messaging. The screen itself is a touch screen and boasts QVGA quality at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, meaning photographs and web pages look crisp and clear. The inclusion of Motorolas own MotoBlur technology makes using the phone a pleasent experience. For example all of your social networking pages are grouped together so you are always kept up to date without having to individually log in to specific sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Motoblur also offers a facility to constantly keep your phonebook up to date by syncing information from such social networking sites as well as your e mail accounts.
The innovative Motorola Flipout is an exciting phone. Despite being different in its looks it boast a great range of features which will appeal to a broad spectrum of people, especially those who want to break away from the traditional concept of a mobile phone.
