Motorola have recently released on of their most functional handsets, the Backflip. Named due to the full QWERTY keyboard which “flips” out from behind the screen, this uniquely designed handset boasts an impressive range of impressive functions.
The Backflip utilises TFT capacitive touch screen technology for navigation of the Android user interface. The screen measures 3.1 inches and can display up to 256,000 colours within a pixel layout of 320x480 so the display quality is very good. An accelerometer is built in which allows the screen content to automatically rotate. Therefore it can be viewed in both portrait and landscape forms dependent upon the orientation of the phone.
As expected, the Backflip uses a range of features for staying connected to cellular networks and the internet. Class 12 EDGE & GPRS connect it to cellular networks. In areas covered by 3G, HSDPA is available at up to 7.2 Mbps. A faster internet connection can be attained however, by Wi-Fi, which utilises the signals provided by local wireless internet routers. Bluetooth and USB connections offer options for connecting the phone to other compatible devices such as phones and computers. This way, users can carry out tasks such as share and transfer media files or contact info.
Internal storage in the Backflip is 256 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM. A micro SD card has a pre-installed 2 GB memory card for storage of data such as music tracks and video clips. Further storage can be gained by installing a larger card into the SD slot, which can accommodate a card of up to 32 GB, providing plenty of potential storage. The internal phonebook can store a huge amount of contacts and includes the popular Photocall feature which allows a photo to be assigned to each contact. This is then displayed on screen any tome this person is in contact.
The Backflip comes with a long list of extra features which will appeal to all manner of users. Music and entertainment fans are well catered for with a versatile media player which supports a host of different music and video file formats. Additional entertainment features include a range of pre installed games. Social networkers will love the dedicated applications which allow direct access to Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. Photobucket and Picasa also have these applications, whereby photos taken on the phone’s camera can be uploaded directly to these sites. MP3 and WAV music files can be assigned as ringtones, allowing a degree of customisation.
The camera boasts 5 Mega Pixels (2560x1920 pixel resolution) so it has the ability to take high quality photos and video. Autofocus and LED flash provided handy tools to ensure the quality of the pictures. Video is shot in CIF quality at 30 frames per second.
The Backflip has a unique style all its own. It is relatively lightweight so is unobtrusive when carrying it in your pocket. It is finished in black with tasteful silver trim.
Most stylish handsets seem to lack functionality, yet the Backflip manages to combine form and function perfectly.
