The Motorola Flipside is one of the initial phones to come out from Motorola ever since they identified themselves as a big producer of Android smartphones . The flipside is the largest of the bunch that had just come out at the time and also has the most utilities.
Out of the quintet of handsets announced at CTIA the Flipside is the only one among them that has a occupied slide out QWERTY keyboard as well as a fully functioning touch screen keyboard . The features include :
Android 2. 1
3. 1 Inch touch screen
3 megapixel camera
support for 32 GB of memory
$ 99. 99 with 2 year service agreement
The Flipside fits in with the customary idea of a slideout touch screen phone . Rectangular, curved corners, slightly thicker and bulkier than those without dual keyboards, and a slight bit grave . With this being supposed it still functions fine and fits to the ear healthy, just a tad better than most.
The screen being 3. 1 inch HVGA is a tad bit too minute for the fingers . It's kind to see onscreen keyboards on the 3. 5 inch which gives just enough room to get into the faster typing without worrying constantly about hitting the incorrect keys . All the seven digital home screens are very nice but here were a bit too many common media icons and they are a bit awkward.
The phone is pretty typical Motorola / Android and doesn't deviate far except for one sole and likeable feature : the trackpad . It sits below the screen at a partly inch by semi inch . It can be second-hand as an alternative navigation device if you enjoy it extra than the touchscreen and can also be used to play games which we enjoyed . Stirring the pad also wakes up the phone.
Let's get to the hardware . On the true spine there is the volume rocker and camera shortcut button . On the left we have the micro USB port . Up on top is the power button and the headphone jack . On the backside is the 3 megapixel camera and self portrait mirror . Beneath the cover on the back is the microSC slot which comes normal at 2 GB but upgradable to 32 GB.
We were overcome with the slide out keyboard . It's large an adequate amount of to be quickly and easily old without extraneous width that makes you stretch. It's always incredibly annoying when a keyboard is JUST too tiny or JUST too big. It makes you wonder who experienced these phones and whether or not they had nonstandard sized hands.
Pros
Trackpad
Pleasant keyboard
Up to 32 GB of memory
Corporate e - mail through Microsoft Exchange
Post production image editing
Cons
Heavy
Immense
Bad SD card placement
Unfortunate phone quality ( and isn't this it's true purpose ?)
Conclusion
It's nothing groundbreaking, you've seen it all before, but the Motorola Flipside has a lot of great features with an emphasis on socializing . If you don't mind unfortunate call quality this might be the phone for you ( you texters out there ).
