Motorola BACKFLIP Pro Reviews

reghardware‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Motorola's new form factor is less than a revolution but still a rather clever design that makes for a versatile handset. It's just a pity that, for territories outside the US, it seems destined to run an antediluvian version of Android.

My feelings about the Motorola Backflip are mixed. It has some nice features, like the Backtrack navigation pad, the nice keyboard, and a fairly good camera, but those good features are heavily outweighed by the slow processor and sub-par voice quality and signal strength.

Once you get past the Backflip's unique form factor, the rest is, as they say, history. Similar to the earlier Motorola Dext, the Backflip utilizes the Motoblur service. Once we logged on to our Motoblur account, it was only a matter of minutes to get all our contacts back into the Backflip. Social networking is made easy with the aforementioned service, linking up Facebook and Twitter profiles with our current contact list. The constant updates from both channels and a single conduit to post status updates makes for a great social media experience on the Backflip.

Motorola scores points for trying to differentiate the Motorola Backflip from the wealth of other Android smartphones on the market, but its design isn't as practical as the company intended it to be.

The Motorola Backflip is a mediocre Android phone with one of the worst designs I've ever had to suffer through using.

As AT&T's first Android phone, the Motorola Backflip offers a unique design but it's rather lackluster in the features and performance department. It's a decent choice if you're upgrading from a feature phone, but anyone looking for speed and power should look elsewhere.

Just don't expect Droid or Nexus One type performance - or any sort of Google-powered search whatsoever - and Backflip should hold up as an Android messaging-smartphone on the cheap. Motorola has finally ushered in the age of Android for AT&T users.

AT&T lands the Motorola Backflip as its first Android handset. Based on our experiences, it's tough to recommend to anyone other than the most diehard Motorola and AT&T fans.

GSMArena‘s review Edit Like Unlike

We can almost hear some users say thinking out of the box is overrated. We understand that and – more importantly – the Motorola BACKFLIP can get over people doubting it. It’s a bold design, eccentric indeed, but it works. The Motorola BACKFLIP will tease you to give it a try. Though obviously not everyone’s cup of tea, it has what it takes to sustain that interest.

MobileBurn‘s review Edit Like Unlike

For me, the Motorola BACKFLIP is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The good doctor, which represents the top half of the device, offers a good touchscreen experience and a nice user interface that is heavily focused on social networking and messaging. I love it. Mr. Hyde's temperamental keyboard design and oddball BACKTRACK directional controller, however, leave me totally underwhelmed.

There’s no question that the BACKFLIP’s strength mostly lies in its unusual form factor that really manages to separate it from all the existing pack of slate/candybar devices – essentially requiring a literal backflip to expose its QWERTY.

AT&T’s first Android phone bends over backwards to impress, but winds up feeling awkward and loaded with superfluous features.

SlashGear‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Much of the internal specifications of the BACKFLIP are things we’ve seen before from Motorola. Up front there’s a 3.1-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen (swimming in a bezel sea), while embedded into the left side of the QWERTY keyboard is a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash. Inside the same processor as in the CLIQ runs Android 1.5 complete with Motorola’s MOTOBLUR social networking integration. There’s triband 7.2Mbps WCDMA (850/1900/2100) and quadband GSM/EDGE, along with WiFi b/g and Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Storage is via microSD, with a 2GB card in the box and up to 32GB supported.
