  • I love this phone.

  • The secondary keys on ur keypad are blue... Im in australia and mine r just white... sadface

  • good review but nothing can beat an iphone now. well pointed that its not "that responsive" and that is what matters the most to me

  • @AEL69 it has a real keyboard beat that (stupid iPhone for silly gay fingers)

    

  • It looks like my phone has a more responsive touchscreen, LOL

  • are the widgets free?

  • Can you zoom in while recording video on the Motorola Backflip?

  • @chintu156 of course.

  • motorola  buttfuck 9! AWESOME NINE !!!NINE!!!! FUCKING TOUCHSCREENS! it's time to get more fucking fingers!

  • this phone is the first at&t android phone and it still keeps up with the htc aria and iphones! :D

  • The Backflip is getting an update to 2.1 on Nov 9, 2010. Might want to check your screen cause mine works fine... you properly have to get used to it. you know that many people think that the buttons still function when you got the bottons on the back.

  • @MexicanoJaj no it didnt. good call.

  • @MexicanoJaj what about the keyboard on the back of the phone? Is it comfortable to feel the keyboard when you're making calls or something?

  • @takzo0 It feels good but I don't notice the keyboard. Even when I make a call. I tend to type using the keyboard and not the screen keyboard. I hacked my Backflip because I hate MotoBlur and it runs faster and you can download and install apps not in the Market. Although it does void your warranty. The its an okey phone, but there is better phones out there.

  • @MexicanoJaj Thank you so much! I'm still deciding between the backflip and the LG Eve, 'cause I like better the slider keyboard on the LG than the backflip keyboard, but LG's touchscreen is resistive, so I'm so confused! ;S

    Thank you anyway!

  • myspace is dead tom even has a facebook

  • Comment removed

  • Wow u recorded a vid of the backflip using the iphone4's camera..thats impressive. Ive noticed that the backflip's processer is a little on the slow and choppy side, is it bcuz there are so many widgets on the homescreen that it makes everything run slower? Are u able to change that by removing some of the widgets of the homescreen or will it still run that slow no matter how many widgets u have on the home screen?

  • including myspace...if your stuck in 2005

  • hmm I have an iphone 4 but iphones get kinda boring sometimes. But i do want a backup/ extra phone im thinking about this one cause I still want a good smart phone with a keyboard and all the other att phones without a contract are super expensive, but this one no contract on ebay is pretty cheap. I hope I can get rid of that trashy motoblur thats super slow and laggy and bleh I would rather have plain android maybe I can download launched pro or something idk..

  • @Blueflagproductions This comment is kinda old but I know people with the iPhone..and honestly, I got bored with it too. Haha!

  • i noticed yours lags, mine doesnt tho. maybe cuz i dont use any of that twitter myspace crap.

  • @j042105m the main appeal of this phone is the "twitter myspace crap" but i guess to each his own..

  • @senorseis66 well i use it for a good internet browser and music mainly, it has good speakers. android phone, a lot of apps are convenient to me like last fm and other good stuff in the market and some third party apps. i rooted mine

  • @j042105m werd i want this phone and i only would use facebook

  • @madllamaboy me too lmfao

  • @j042105m Twitter&Myspace are useless.

  • i got mine a weeeeeek ago its amaizin and i have 2 say that my friend who has the i phone 4 said that dude am little jealous of ur device

  • @ezabil12345 I LOVE THE BACKFLIP, got mine like a month ago

  • HEY IT'S MEEE :DDDDD

  • i got one i just got mines yesterday

  • @jpnoll22 its bad rite?

    i heard that sometimes the screeen doesnt work and some times the everything just shuts off

  • @jpno1122 I hear ya. I got it about 5 months and already wanna throw it against a wall

  • For my parents!? I want it!

  • @Jamaicangalpal dont get it..........its like broken afte like a month or 2

  • @10bamboo Sorry i bought it and like it

  • The touchscreen is extremely responsive.

    It's just slow because of the overload of running projects. MotoBLUR is a very sluggish and sapping system.

    I was able to sap most of it and not have my processor on overdrive, making navigation extremely fast. Removing the Yahoo! search widget and replacing it with Google is very useful also. With a routine power cycle every three/four days, you'll be fine.

  • Shod i get the Samsung Galaxy S or iPhone 4 or this Motorola Blackflip?

  • @Gyws13 don't get the backflip. if you want speed, a big screen, and a customizable interface get the galaxy s. if you want lots of apps, a great camera and a sharp screen get the iphone

  • i just got this yesterday

  • can it run android apps?

  • @lolmoper yes

  • @lolmoper yea its an android phone

  • I like my backflip...an update was released last week that helps screen respone and some bugs known on the backflip. BTW look around I got my phone 4 months ago FREE!

  • the camera is ready to go, given you buy a sd card when you buy the Backflip.

  • SkyRock is a French MySpace like site.

  • is android from the linux kernel?

  • why all companies copies the apple products !! fuck

    this fuckin motorola looks like the iphone

  • looks like an iphone clone mixed with an android phone

  • The design is kinda weird.

  • congrats! you are real good in presenting vids. and doing what you do man. keep it up! and good luck!

  • That would be good until you loose your phone and someone now has your account info for EVERYTHING!

  • @guitarherodude1 With Motoblur, you can remotely wipe the entire phone from their online website. Solves that problem.

  • I bet he is never had a girlfriend

  • @mrantonio1999 2 ex-wifes

  • ANDROID>IPHONE

    really

    imo

    and its not iphone eating android :P

    samsung moment + 2.1 + root + sdx developers= FUCKING EPIC

    but

    i messed up my phone trying to flash back to stock lol

    fixing it soon

  • secret finger moves.

  • thanks for the review chris, this seems like a pretty good phone - does the things that a lot of people would use a smart phone for.

  • that's an awsome phone

  • Is this your job? if so, do you get these gadgets free?

  • This looks like a good phone although it seems to lag a bit.

  • I like this phone. It's time to upgrade my contract and I don't like the iphone because of many restrictions. There should be a firmware update for the backflip now that improves many aspects of the phone including overall performance and battery life. Also, with the Android 2.1 update, sometime this year, you will have most features found on other android phones. The problem is ATT. They completely restricted the phone and added their own crapware. Still, a very unique devce.

  • Apple fanboys think it's not worth a penny.

  • @TheNickloyd LMAO ITS NOT!!! HAHAHAHHA My friend has it... its soooo slow

  • I'm going to Flip out if you continue to use you cartoon face in the background.

  • 'i must admit it hasn't been the easiest screen to work with.....unlike many of the phones that are out there today'

    weird kind of commercial to endorse other products that have better touch screens than the said phone...

    definately a review

  • I dont like it

  • thats doesnt look like the iphone at all...

    +

  • How is this a commercial! Even if chris did get payed to do this he was hardly lying through his teeth raving about rubbish features (like allot of paid reviewers do) He pointed out its flaws! and he never said he was going to use this phone to replace his iphone. He dosent like andriod, its obvious. So grow up and stop trolling.

  • Hey

  • Wow Chris can't say anything without being called a sellout lmao.

    He has been reviewing products for years, my god.

  • @you know its just the haters, right?

  • how do all you mac users downloade music without getting viruses or paying haha??

  • This video is extremely good quality considering it was done using the iPhone 4. I wanna get one just for this now!

  • Umm this phone doesn't cost a penny, and he knows perfectly well it doesn't too. He said you'll have to sign up for a special plan, but he didn't say one thing, the plan will end up costing you 500 dollars extra. Wow why did you have to try to fool people into buying something that they think costs a penny?

  • @Coolpuncht yep, not much different than the oily car dealers and their 'giveaways'

  • Comment removed

  • lol in the beginning the first thing i saw was the Motorola blackflip not the cartoon thing ......

  • Motorola should really give up designing mobile devices. It's plain ugly and the Android interface is even more so. I'll be sticking with my Windows/Android HTC Touch Pro 2 for a long time. :-)

  • Whats the fukkin point?? It still doesnt have 2.1 or 2.2 so its a waste of money. Does anybody feel me on this???

  • @lbshizzle I hear you and I won't be getting any Android device unless it comes out of the box with 2.2 or later.

  • LOL it's so slow

  • Myspace if you use that... xD

  • EVERYBODY. If this is geeky or not is up for debate(I think it is) but this isn't an ad. Ads ARE superbias! Is this suoerbias?

  • "If I flip her over again" lol

  • stupid phones

  • I WOULD RATHER USE THE 1ST IPHONE THAN THIS CRAPPY

  • that mobile looks hella sexy!

  • Stop trying to make money off us.

  • i have this phone i am completely satiisfied. not a single problem

  • I don't no if it's every one but your vid isn't working on my touch :P

  • Dont listen to people who think your advertising, there mostly just iphone fanboys since when you talk about your iphone they dont care but when you talk about something such as android they freak out. Android is an amazing operating system, and with the 40+ android phones on the market I believe they are all good and most are better then the iphone in my opinion in a lot of ways. And chris you should get your self a HTC EVO 4G! experience a REAL smartphone instead of always useing an iphone 4.

  • Personally, I wouldn't touch one if those if you payed me! I' hate the horrible flip keyboard and it's overall design is just terrible! What happened to the people who designed the RAZR?

  • @crazymanedd lol the razor is an ugly phone

  • Sell out much?

  • Chris can i use it as a hotspot for my ipad. ?

  • Your one ninth of a cent commision is totally great chris? @Chrisdelvalleisgreat is totally right, if 9 people get you a commision, you can pay the 9/10ths of a cent at the end of a gallon of gas. =/

    Seriously, a tech reviewer called a sellout for REVIEWING TECH. =/

  • i dont have a smartphone yet... i have an old nokia :(

  • really awesome product and great review. i'm with you chris. thats the kind of device i want. all of my accounts avalable with me all the time and at a touch of a single button (well, not really a button i guess). the only downside is the lack or responsiveness of the screen, but for a penny, who can complain. :P

  • I like the chin better.

  • LOL i looks an iphone

  • @AuntyM66 thats an insult to android

  • Great Sales man pitch chris :)

  • cartoon chin, killer review

    i like this cell

  • woww.... i have never seen so many haters in my life... nice video chris keep doing your thing...

  • Chris, Don't Change your videos.I like them they whey they are all your doing is making a close up video of all the features of a device and recommending it to person who needs it. Which is great Keep it UP!

  • That motorola seemed abit lagish or well noneresponsive and/or slow. But well for a penny you cant be picky :)

    You should try to see if you can get your hands on a Sony Ericsson x10. Its a 'droid phone which seem kind of awesome.

  • Nice review chris:) I've been thinking of getting an android device. If you can please review more android phones that would be great, thanks:)

  • Enjoy your censored Android experience Chris. The backflip is a piece of crap. AT&T removed the Unknown Sources option and so you cannot load apps from outside the android market. Proof? Just google motorola backflip and click the pcworld article entitled 'Motorola Backflip on AT&T: Not the Full Android Experience'

  • Iphone Knock of much?

  • penis

    

  • How much is this phone in the UK?

  • I'm from britain, whats the difference between an American Penny and a cent?

  • @jorjlim the name of a 1 cent coin is a penny i think (im British too lol)

  • Chris, no matter how big of a sell out you'll become, I'll still love you.

  • Stop making bad commercials :(

  • Kids would love this phone

    Android on low tech hardware

    When I say kids I mean 15 and younger

  • I know you're entitled to your opinion. So am I, and I say phone reviews aren't for you. Leave it to the people that devote their time to this sort of stuff. This video seems like something that was half-assed and meant to just push people to tagjag for a few bucks. Not saying that's why you did this but it is the impression I got from this video. Also, CPU speed, screen resolution, software version is a lot geekier than what social site the device connects to, IMO. harsh but honest feedback.

  • "..if you still use that" Baha!

  • att is crap, period.

  • This reminds me of the htc hero (as in it's very slow)

  • haha recording with an iphone 4. thats awesome

  • @haavar90 Fuck you, asshole. Chris is doing an introduction to a really neat and cheap phone for the younger people who use social networks and stuff and all you do is cry like the little bitch that you are. Nobody, I repeat NOBODY is forcing you to buy the thing, and who the fuck do you think that you are, to tell him what he can review on his own channel?!

  • @moustickx do you know why i "cry" about this? its becuse i want chirs to say what he really thinks about this phone. to me its sounds like he is reading from a script, or he is trying to only say the best about the phone. He dont say what he really means. i dont know if that is just me. We all know that he loves iphone. so its hard to take this serious.

  • i'll stay wit the iphone!!

  • Cool!

  • Moto Blur sucks. The phone had potential but Blur ended it.

  • i didnt even know that this is the quality of the iphone 4's 8mp camera. o.O

  • @chilliwilly1000 The iphone 4 has a 5 megapixel camera.

  • how much is the fone?

  • I've never posted but after watching this video, I had to. First of all, EVERYTHING on that phone including the MOTO Blurr is a duplicate of other Droid phones.  My HTC Aria which is also on AT&T has the exact same features and it's touch screen is much more responsive. Seeing Mr.Perillo review this phone seems painful as the phone really does actually suck. It's a laggy mess. The hardware on the phone is horrible and can't run the Android OS properly.

  • LEGIT!

  • We get it Chris. It's a good phone but its not as good as your "iphone 4"

  • yea man, i dont like these advertisement videos. more geeky videos plz

  • @chooechooe How is this an advertisement?! How is a phone NOT geeky? I reviewed a tech device. What more do you want?

  • @lockergnome I liked it Chris... a good honest review. But MOTOBLUR is complete shit. So don't think any less of Androids because of that OS. haha.

  • @lockergnome

    to revel that your actually a robot cyborg and the ghost of christmas past from the future :D

  • @lockergnome MAC AND PC'S SOFTWARES

  • @lockergnome Chris, I have a suggestion: you can make a video showing the installation of Ubuntu 10.04 on your NETBook, what do you think? I've never seen you using that Netbook. You already have the Mac and Windows, just missing the Ubuntu to complete the "hall of the best Operating Systems".

  • @lockergnome Your dick lol jk

  • @lockergnome good on you chris. i like these videos they are interesting and certainly not advertisements!

  • @lockergnome lol, Chris you shouldn't even reply to these idiots that just give comments based on other people's opinions, not worth it. they don't have anything creative to add.

  • Not saying he is not a sellout, but what makes him a sellout?

  • How can you even touch it while owning an iPhone 4?

  • good review chris

  • I hate how people constantly call all YouTube partners sell outs if they happen to promote something. I don't see it as selling it this is how they make money. If you are doing a car wash and someone is paying you and you are offered more money to do more detail and make it look better are you a sell out ?

  • @TheRealKyleBird Make money? Youtube is a hobby! lol

  • @rednes800 Do you not know of the YouTube partnership of which I mentioned in my previous comment. YouTube is a hobby for most but for YouTube PARTNERS like chris pirillo they get paid to make the video and if someone else is going to pay him to speak positively about something it seems like a no brainer. It isn't selling out because he is still doing what he enjoys doing and being paid for it

  • @TheRealKyleBird dont motorola pay him for this video?

  • @haavar90 he never says they pay him or that they are sponsoring the video therefore by law they aren't. This is because by law he is required to say if they are sponsoring the video, and from the may Chris Pirillo videos I have seen he is quite good at mentioning when they have sponsored the video or sent him the device.

  • @haavar90 i should have read the video description before sending that they did send him the phone to review but i still don't believe he was paid

  • @TheRealKyleBird Companies send review units to reviewers all the time.

  • @TheRealKyleBird Um yes i do know what you are talking about. And no, youtube does not pay people to make videos. C'mon ae you serious? Maybe they get a few gadgets for free to review. But get paid? I don't think so guy! hahaha... Whats the flat rate for making a gadget video. or an opinion video? Or un-boxing or all? Tell me how much!! for all i know Lokerknome or whatever... has a million different accounts and this could be him for all i know! Boooo!

  • @rednes800 Youtube partners get paid for the amount of views they get.

  • What a sellout...

  • hes reviewing a phone, your saying everyone that makes a review is a sellout?

    think about it

  • @reatret Why don't you think about it? He clearly is a sellout, why don't you open your eyes like the other people.

  • i like how you dont give me a reason hes a sellout

  • your a worse sellout than the phone.

  • @tminustech like the evo 4g. best phone alive haha watch his review.

  • @larskbragdon The Evo 4G has WAY too many problems with it to be the best phone alive. Maybe if you could get a unlimited extension cord so you could have it plugged in everywhere you go, then it might be ok. I'm not an Android hater either. The Droid X looks awesome and is much nicer looking than that brick of a phone called the EVO.

  • @sean1256 ughh the evo has been getting beter and beter. the battery life has nearly trippled for me since i installed the 1.47.651.1 ota update and it lasts almost a day and a half with a decent amount of use. now the droid x on the other hand is prolly gonna blow this phone out of the water with the new moto blur i like it alot but i have sprint and att so o well.

  • @larskbragdon You know, I keep hearing people claiming they are getting much better battery life after "updating" but I simply don't believe it. Too bad you can't prove me wrong.

  • I would say that backlash from the EVO video and possible un-subscription rate was a wakeup for him. HOWEVER, I do think this is an honest and simple review of a device. I read an article about this phone and I was positively surprised that Chris had a review which I consider was very interesting. Now that doesn't mean I'm buying anything (nothing will take me away from my HTC Desire :P).

    My 2 cents.

  • @cyberfin Isn't that sad that Android fans can't handle constructive criticism?  The gripes he had with the EVO were all warranted. People are ridiculous when it comes to their phone of choice.

  • @sean1256 It's sad yes, but then again, critisise any product owned by a fan and see what kinda response you get.

    Chris' EVO video did have a few decent points that Google (note, not HTC) should work on, but I found that several were inspired due to lack of familiarisation with the Android system. An HTC fanboy would have the same issues if trying an iPhone for the first time. It's the legendary MAC/AnyOtherOS battle. So not going there...

    But yeah, you're right about the ridiculous part.

  • @cyberfin honest review my ass, i do believe he get payed for this video. he is payed for saying that you should buy this phone. Chris likes a Andriod phone(motorla), yeah right and i'am santa.

  • @haavar90 Sure, I get you and I agree to some part. But you see, years of infomercials and sneaky commercial blogging on products has made me semi-immune to those words; I just wanted to know specs, features, etc...

    I suppose what I'm saying is that I still enjoy Chris' vids but there's some serious "back to basics" needed if he wants to keep a big part of his subscribers. I probably wouldn't un-sub but I can see why many would.

  • @cyberfin Ok, I'm gonna answer myself actually. Chris has a certain income system. Independently of what that is, people shouldn't be shocked and disgusted at this. It's his job. His way of life. If you can't see past that, ignore what he says here and there if you don't find it interesting or not your cup of tea, then, try doing it better yourself. Who knows, I might be posting comments on your (plural) videos sometime in the future...!

  • @haavar90 Nowhere did I say this was "the" device for ME. If you watch the video, you'll clearly hear me say that it is a good choice for someone looking for those features. I did not get paid for this video. I simply reviewed a device. God forbid I should LIKE said device.

  • @lockergnome So motorola gave and told you to reviewed this phone for free? or did they gave you a phone for free, and you decided one day to make a reviewed? Another thing is that you talk so much positive things about this phone, and verry few negative thing about this phone, but you where verry hard on the evo why? I think Evo is much better then this phone, both simple and same features

  • @haavar90 well the evo is marketed as an iphone competing-super-ultra-mega-awe­some-superphone...with 4G!!!! while this one is more like, well to quote chris "This could be your parents first smartphone"

  • @haavar90 and also, you must understand that Chris does this for a living and if he gets a chance to earn some extra cash i dont see anything wrong with that. BUT what i think is wrong is if Motorola would have payed Chris to promote the device. And as you might know as a viewer of his videos, he never tells you to buy it he just sais what he thinks of the device and then sais what its good for.

  • @haavar90 dude just so you kno android is way better then the iphone 4. the iphone is for people who want a shiny new toy that steve jobs makes. its all about marketing when it comes to the iphone but if u want a real phone for the spec's and features then get your self a android smartphone!

  • @ThemRussianBoys i know..i have a droid myself :D but with custom rom on it
