[odessakolesar]

like your clip .. keep it up =) thanks



[ericpilcher1]

Haha. Coconut chicken :)

[bearygirl7]

Hey, please be honest. IS this a good phone? What are the pros/cons. I really want to know...because I want to get this phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks. PLEASE reply.

[Geirunaka]

To everyone who actually got the phone, thanks for following up with your opinion. I'm glad you enjoy the trackpad on the back and have informed us all that it is indeed not a piece of crap. Long live android?

[liv2partygirl120]

he called the phone the track pad in da begginin

[dexterdedoo]

I am thinking of buying no commitment becaus i have stupid matrix and i know by the time my upgrade is due they wont have this. Should i get this or wait until the others come out later this yr

[Anniebananierox]

i hav a question, so when it is closed and in your pocket or whatever, what will happen if u hit the buttons or something, cud u butt dile?

[xoNickJisaCutieox]

@Anniebananierox its built to be stronger since its exposed. you can put it on sleep mode and the buttons will not randomly push

[lagargolad4live]

@Anniebananierox i wont do anything in ur back pocket becuz is closed

son u dont have to worry about

it

[07liberian]

Damn I Was A About To Get This Yesterday But I Chose The N900 I Think I Made The Right Choose

[season660]

boom android motherfuckers

[MrMaine52]

i have this phone and it is a good phone and i like it cause it is different from all other phones

[patrkcirtap]

i can't wait for the 2.1 upgrade the guy said its this year so..

[bootylicious4yababy]

the cameras in a weird place. dontcha think ??!

[AlrauneX]

my guess is that none of the newer phones will allow you to download apps from outside the market at all which isn't that big of a deal for me. this phone looks pretty sweet

[rockzealot]

phone is gay

[volcomboy4u]

wait,... is the screen glass?

[sickley1]

my guess is its "gorilla glass".practically unscratchable and unshatterable.

[volcomboy4u]

it like a flip " cliq " instead of a slider?

[BleedingOne]

I've had the same phone for about a year now, the Samsung Eternity, and I'm REALLY tempted to get this phone. I've been praying for the day that AT&T would pick up Android for its phones, and I wanna jump on the chance. The only thing I find questionable is the exposed keyboard, and how durable it is when it's in your pocket or if you drop it, and how soon 2.1 will be available for the phone. I'm probably gonna get it, cause I've seen a bunch of videos on it, and it looks really cool. =)

[brianv3ntura]

@BleedingOne i would say leave at&t. the backflip running a very crippled android experience.

[tylergetsreal]

It is okay that the keyboard is exposed, because once you flip it, the keyboard automatically shuts off so you don't have to worry about accidentally hitting buttons. Hope this helped!

[TylerMG123]

Does anyone know about how good the touch flow is on this? I've never seen a phone w/ as good touch flow as the iPhone.

[corn9256]

i hav the rival it sucks stupid verizon this is the coolest phone ever but i would rather hav the droid :/

[marlo916]

it's a fingerprint slut tho

[marlo916]

looks good. i'll take one

[blamb141]

soo did u see the att simcard in the phone?! haha and the att web-browser devoted button by the camara? haha its pretty obvious its going to att.

[leilexi]

omfg i cant wait to get this phone i think it is better than the i phone this new phone is the shit

[brianv3ntura]

@leilexi this phone will nvr be better than the iphone. actually the backflip is pretty much the WORSE android phone u can get in the US. why? its been crippled with at&t bloatware, the inability to install apks outside of the market,andgoogle services taken out and replaced by yahoo

[puglova770]

@brianv3ntura this phone is amazing

[brianv3ntura]

u may say the backflip is amazing, BUT any android veteran will tell you that the backflip is a joke. it lacks some functions that all other android devices have.. i.e. isntalling apks outside from the market...

[sickley1]

since when did the iphone get a keyboard?

[sickley1]

actually you can install apk outside the market, you just need to download drivers and a sdk.

[AlrauneX]

ooh that's even cooler haha

[suavedos]

I knew it, you are a fucking apple slave....you say the same shit on all your comments posted...I really hope you get paid to defend apple so much...but i think the reality is that you just hate the fact you are stuck with paying too much for the iphone...hahahhahhahhaahh

[brianv3ntura]

@suavedos uhmmmm how am i an apple slave? i dev for android and have 3 android phones. but any advanced android user knows the backflip is a joke. its ridiculous. its crippled. it more of a watered down android phone. hmmm why dont u get the dick out of ur ass and accept that u are wrong.

[indians3452]

@leilexi dude your stupid.

[GL320CDI]

he showed the AT&T sim card lol. i thought he wasnt allowed to reveal that carrier?

[ToastersAreEvil]

haha i just noticed that! xD

[pokinachyam3]

all my icraps have shit out on my after about 8 months... im over having a shitty 3 mp camera and my buttons breaking... im all over this new back flip. my good friend has a cliq that i play with all the time and its pretty bad ass. back flips just alittle bit better for the fact it has a "back track" and touch keys on the front of the phone unlike the cliq

[pokinachyam3]

i for one will be in line for this on march 7th to get rid of my icrap. i have know had 3 iphones , one 2g and 2 3g's! every iphone i have including the one im using know has had the home buttom go out. my 2g screen shattered into pieces from having to push so hard to get it to go back to the main screen. the one im using now if about to crack as well due to the button no longer working..

[evsoftball06]

@pokinachyam3 uuh thats your fault not the phones fault for shattering lol its a user error!

[pokinachyam3]

umm maybe apple should make products that dont break.... strange that my last 3 iphone that have always been in cases and never droped all had the same problem... dead home button... iphones are for losers... and the backflip is out march 7th for 99$ was confirmed today

[evsoftball06]

@pokinachyam3 haha everyone is going to brake if you press hard on the screen like u said u were doing. no phone is a durable phone. just plain and simple. you just blame it on the equipment rather then yourself. phones dont just brake and shatter on there own. someone had to use enough force to make it happen. user error. im sure u will do the same thing with the droid and just blame it on the phone again lol

[pokinachyam3]

yeah the screen broke cuz i HAD to push it that had idiot... the "equipment" broke its self thent i shattered the screen cuz the phone was broken already.... iphones are build like shit just admite it... i dont care that the screen broke that only happened to my 2g im talking about the shitty plastic home buttons on them..... icraps are lame and i will never buy another iphone again unless its all touch and they cam come up to par with there camera and apps.

[pokinachyam3]

apple just cant live up to android with there expensive dumb apps.... everyone should get a android and boycott apple iphones.....

[1a2v3i4e]

@pokinachyam3

its $200, but you get a hundred off if your with at&t

[pokinachyam3]

ohh believe me i know lol i have read everything on this phone from every sight at least once and thats no joke... im pretty sure im en expert one this phone lol its also 349$ with no commitment

[1a2v3i4e]

awesome! lol, I'm counting the days until they ship it out, 6 more days, before I'm the proud owner of a backflip!

[pokinachyam3]

this will be released march 7th 2010, on at&t. will come in box with 8gig card car charger as well as standard wall charger and will be 600$ non contracr 200 after 100 rebate on new 2 year contract.

[RicoUToob]

@pokinachyam3 : I like t his phone, just dont like the 'exposed' keyboard . I wonder if waiting till the other android phones would be worth the wait at ATT?

[MrFunkeym0nkey]

is it capasitive and will it have apps

[megacskiller]

is the screen to small or what

[gabyluvscupcakes]

When will this phone be released?

[genestarwindjf80]

That phone is just plain ugly don't know why At&t keeps getting more and more uglier phones, just can't stand it anymore, would not be getting this as my upgrade in May.

[wigywow]

umm any1 else c the AT&T sim card ahahahah

[hzohaib]

is this better than the nexus one

[hzohaib]

it should go for t mobile

[md1997]

@hzohaib

i agree but i think it will , Motorola was always for mobile too but yeah you can just unlock it for t mobile if its at&t

[treyboog94]

@hzohaib fuck you dude. t-mobile has enuf android shit

[nicthasneak]

i saw the att sim card in the phone hahahaha AT&T FTW!!

[Geirunaka]

anyone else think putting the trackball on the BACK of the phone is a really fucking stupid idea? lol. idk, just my opinion, it just seems silly and looks difficult to use like that.

[punkposer]

it's a trackpad, you use it w/ your index finger [left right, w/e] while holding the phone w/ both hands. A perfectly great idea..

[Geirunaka]

ohh shii- you're right. It's a trackpad not a trackball. My bad - I guess that wouldn't be as bad. I still have a feeling that would be pretty awkward though, especially since I'm trying it with a random object. Although, I'm sure I could get used to it. thanks for pointing that out.

[oofymo]

@Geirunaka but if your'e holding the phone then your fingers are already on the back anyway

[Alwaysbluet]

@Geirunaka Where the fuck else would you put it? Take up space on the front of the phone? Make the keyboard smaller? that's retarded. i think it's an awesome idea and design.

[RandomShowTv]

@Geirunaka i know right?! its just dumb.

[dmackbuddythree10]

@Geirunaka nah i got one its really helpful if u see someone with one use it you will see

[iJeRkZable]

@Geirunaka its actully really easy to use

[MriMaVii]

This dumb ass doesn't even know the name of the phone, it a Backflip not Backtrack.

[punkposer]

the touch pad on the back is called the Backtrack, the phone is called the Backflip, so the guy knows what he's talking about....

[ishamichealous]

that phone is fucking fresh

and loaded with all type of cool shit!

[ExcelSub]

cant wait for att android phones iphone and android theyre gonan rule the market -.-

[Ripslash12]

That thing is seriously fugly. And after the change in my pocket is finished rubbing against that keyboard it's gonna be even fuglier :) I've not been waiting patiently for AT&T to get android for this !!

[genestarwindjf80]

That's a hell of ugly phone for At&t service. who wants a back flip phone that would break? I'm still waiting for the ultimate Android phone for At&t not no cheap looking plastic phone by MOTO. Com on at&t.

[zukoxaang]

lol. i love how he doesnt wanna tell whos carryin the phone, but when he pops off the back cover, the att sim card is quite visible :) hmmm iphone, or backflip?

[Duschmon7]

AT&T??? What!? Seriously??? I cant/dont/wont believe it....yet

[cenaroxtar]

iphone copy

[Antsu666]

@cenaroxtar haha.. so everything that haves a touchscreen is a copy of iphone?

[cenaroxtar]

m nt takling abt touchscreen

the design is lyk iphone

[afghan901]

@cenaroxtar  lol....

[x1ofakind1x]

wow this look sleek and nice.

hope its at&t, but probably going to end up $299 after 100rebate D:!

[hwows12345]

it like the motorola cliq

[ang93ail]

i don't like this phone

[librano]

i'd like to see that touchpad actually being used... it's kinda weird.

[CYRINTHIA212]

the guy didn't seem to confident about the phone. they were asking him questions and he keep saying he was unsure lol..

[jagjagin]

its BACKFLIP, wtf is back track

[jepertine0]

Nothing like the Nexus One and Iphone 3Gs~ which I own both~ ^^

[shroyerdave]

wow you have both the nexus one and the 3gs? i currently have a g1 :( and am shopping for a newer, faster phone. i dont really want to commit to apple/at&t but im curious. as a non phone reviewer which one do you think is an overall better phone?

[jepertine0]

actually both are good... depends what u need~ I prefer the Nexus One over Iphone because of multitasking... Smoothness of the UI and gaming dun bother me much~

HOWEVER, Iphone 3gs give the most satisfaction in daily use~ don't forget the SE X10~ I have high hope on that~

[sajohnson09]

I had hope for the x10 as well until i found out the price is ridiculous, its almost as expensive as 3 ps3's combined not to mention it comes with like what android 1.6 they may upgrade it by the time its released but for a price tag of more than $700 the shit should be shipping with everything current even the nexus one is cheaper than this phone (unsubsidized) and they have the same processor hell the droid is better than x10 at this point it even has 2.0 on it. lol but only time will tell

[iSummerboy18]

Absolute crap

[Shr00mscross]

No carrier, but it says AT&T!! =/. thats stupid!.. i hope it's on at&t. and doesn't cost wayy too much!.

[nosegaurd22]

Wow great phone!!!

[MoreKuree4U]

6:31 thats just sad. but i'm glad at&t is getting an android phone

[locotaco73]

i liike it. i might get it

[hvissotz]

Dont like it.

[Z3RO0RD1E]

Looks cheap.

This is just gonna be the same as that candy-bar styled phone(that I forget the name of)that had the phone screen and keypad one one side and the MP3 buttons and screen on the other side.

[henry3117]

lol that samsung piece of ish!!

[tdkirk7]

It says "Motorola" everywhere in the Video and is in the title. Where the hell you get Samsung?

[henry3117]

well i can tell ur not to smart the phone @z3ro0rdie is talking is a samsung i was replying to him.

[stealthpakfa]

shit phone.

[bbhebe]

FAG FONE

[MRKRAZY1870]

LOOKS OK

[NewYorkerkid95]

gayyy

[Matt3683683]

I dig it.

[dotstick123]

cheap

[juangama0821]

LMFAO he sad they weren't announcing carriers but they had a at&t sim card in the phone. hahahaha

[CMETRIQUE]

yeah... they use unlocked phones dummy.

[n0s23]

may be the guy was using At&t's Sim

[mykalmo]

anybody else feel that it slightly looks like it has the silver trim of an iphone?

[NewYorkerkid95]

i know it doess

[KevinG43]

whats geotaging??

[silverwolf1996]

laggy as hell

[XxADAM93xX]

Same video as from earlier just from someone else's camera

[SpriteGreen09]

its unique but its kinda weird won't the buttons get messed up on the back?

[Wafflopter]

sounds like kermit the frog.

[mattbrat92]

camera is in a dumb spot

[PhyKami]

The screen was SOOO dirty :o tons of finger prints lol

[sacruz1984]

ill pass i dont like that blur UI, im more into the Hero UI or G1 even.

[possomcrast]

ya it does look stupid but he called it the backtrack wen its backflip

[austinleesmith]

beast

[azatecas]

nice phone

[EvanDotMac]

lol, that trackpad thing is so lame

[PostsThatMatter]

Agreed

[gamegod375]

This looks stupid but for some reason it is growing on me especially the tabletop mode thing, also I bet the at&t sim card is a hint to what network it will be showing up on

[neoka28]

Looks VERY stupid to me :\

[goregoregadget99]

Cool. I want to see a sidekick kind of flip screen phone powered by android. That would be cool.

[Chris279m]

I have a MyTouch in merlot. Idk how to root tho:(

[ItAtinyWORLD]

the cliq is much better

[muneerkhan7]

it would be cool if u could take a pic of urself with the keyboard open

[Chris279m]

U can.

[muneerkhan7]

aww thats awesome than but i still think my rooted myTouch kicks its ass

[htonehero]

Agreed. You'd think Motorola would throw something besides a processor that's x amount of years old now into something.

[Hyorino]

you can

[efrias73]

you can

[ilikeaple]

they should have made the keyboard twist around or something so that its not exposed because sooner or later the letters are going to get worn down

[lilfagnut]

i don't think its rubber

[ilikeaple]

ya but still. the letters could get worn off. unless they are under the top layer

[acquaz10]

@edmundohillary no your a dumbass. he was demonstrating the back track which is a track pad on the back of the phone

[clifgreen3]

i want this phone so much!

[MisterBankz]

This is so unique, it doesnt even make sense .

[skilla4lif3]

@MisterBankz looks like an iphone with a qwerty keyboard

[MisterBankz]

@skilla4lif3 Yeah kinda, idk . It's desgin bugs me out , I wouldnt get it

[rc18trocks]

phone company trying to be a little too unique

[ThEuNdYiNg1]

motoblur to me does not look good

[crytos]

nice idea, the flip keyborad etc. but why would anyone want that. and with motoblur it is so busy and full on too. Hopefully it'll be a low end phone to get more android devices out into the market. i'm a big fan of that :)

[canadiensfan4evr]

error

[AKAxanman96]

need a price

[Sahtastic]

weird

[geraldito4]

cool

[TeabagYourMom94]

nice!

[bloodline1995]

this phone looks cheap

[ThEuNdYiNg1]

@bloodline1995

it better be with that slow ass processor

[blazedownz]

sweet
