Motorola Backflip: Hands On

[MindFreakWithCrissA]

uh... form factor!

[cadcx0]

Does this have an on screen qwerty keyboard?

[Cheesefan1123]

@cadcx0 Yes, though it is not recomended for big fingers

[Thevacationholiday]

@cadcx0 Ofcourse!

[zekevkishere]

Which is better Palm Pixi Plus or Motorola Backflip?

[ZAM26113]

@zekevkishere

Motorola Backflip....my friend has the palm pixi and my brothers friend has the motorola backflip...

pixi-like a "lady" phone

backflip-really awesome if you could overlook the design(i think its awesome)

[MrSupergeek123]

Sorry but this video lagg's :P

[xBloodfatherx]

FUCKING SLOW COMPUTER!!! AAAARRRGGGG

[betterthanyourname28]

I have heard this phone has a battery life of a half day, and 2 and a half days......... which one is it? I know it depends on how you use it...... but under normal conditions how long does it last??

[montoya9421]

@betterthanyourname28 well i have the phone and it depents of if you use it alot i use it alot and it last about a day. but when i just have it in my pocket it last about two days...so i hope that helps..oh ya i was going to get the i phone but i recommend this phone instead of the i phone because it is awsome

[whiteboy1209]

@betterthanyourname28

mine usually lasts (with facebook myspace twitter updates) and texting every couple minutes around 15-16 hours. but thats if you use it alot...otherwise i'd say you can make it last around 24-25 hours

[miachelle9496]

do you need intertnet to be able to access to facebook on the home screen?

[theotherblondekid]

@miachelle9496 the phone comes with a must have data plan and its 30 dollars a month for internet unlimited texting unlimited everythgin except calling i think

[MecaWalrus]

that is the STUPIDEST idea for a phone in history or at&t

[TacosYaDigg]

This phone looks like a kindergarten made it

[federaltaskforce]

Slow texting hell!!!!!!!! I will match your texting anyday.....

[e2icNathan]

The only thing i like about this phone is that its keyboard has alot more space then other phones, but i think the design is very stoopid especially the trackpad thing, who would ever you that.

[robertcochransvideos]

@e2icNathan you're stupid. you spelled stupid like "stoopid. idiot

[luckynbloody]

the trackpad looks useless and hard to use! lame!......and the back of the phone is the keyboard?!! WTF!!!......i have the cliq and i rather the cliq a 100 times!...

[forrest225]

I'm not worried about the keyboard. Almost every blackberry has a keyboard that is fully exposed all the time, and I have never had a problem with the keyboard on mine.

[naqvi619]

cool phone btw but motorola has very slow texting speed.

[NBAforlife94]

Not a good phone

[tksalyer]

say form factor one more time, i dare you

[iPhoneiTouch101]

@tksalyer lol he said it like 8 times

[NeutronRocks]

@tksalyer It was a CES, so he probably was pissing his pants with excitement. I don't blame him.

[danieljosephbaltazar]

@tksalyer lol i thought i was the only one that noticed that :D

[LilStnki]

hahahaha, i know XD

[oofymo]

@tksalyer i heard and counted 5 times ._. even twice within 10 seconds

[MySocialworker]

@tksalyer i know right!?!?

[samkinkel]

Wow, I'd use that! Looks very nice.

[hanxopx]

nice phone

[Sabei0990]

Dirt and grime? Geeze, wash you pants.

[Microdevine]

@Sabei0990 thats what i was thinking. i dont think ive ever really had "dirt and grime" in my pocekts. i can see what he means, cuz im sure the keyboard will take a lot of beating on with it being exposed. tho i cant see that happening in ur pockets.

[fatshaq426]

hahahahahahahahaha

[krutchaz]

They'll most likely provide a cover for the keybaord

[KittyGetAway]

We-ird, Plain and simply weird.

[DarthMartin89]

Dammit i just upgraded my at&t plan so i could get a blackberry bold 9700 -_- i've been waiting for At&t to get into the android market for a while... great timing

[cesarthebomb]

your blackberry is way better than this.

[sahamza360]

weird and bizzaree!!

[MiszBxRoyalty]

This phone is stupid !!

[ZiggZagg11]

I just want somebody to invent a 5 to 6 inch self powered touch screen that can be plugged into my smart phone please.

[martoman217]

i want to touch you

[fizzo20]

That's one bizarre phone

[WoWLair]

lol icons copied from iphone

[danieltobey]

The whole phone seems gimicky. The idea is pretty cool, but I don't think it will hold up in the long run.

[jayqwe2]

u dnt buy the stuff anymore

[jrvh513]

he has been at CES, wear demo-like phones are on display before their released

[johnny8n]

pretty interesting :P

[arzo2000]

Strange, he didn't compare its size to the iPhone lol

He usually compares his iPhone to basically everything he reviews which is something I really dislike.

[fencinggearhed]

he does that because most people know the size of the iphone so its a good comparison i think

[Pinwormx]

huh?

[VisionMediaSolution]

that crap because the screen will crack and random message and calls will happen

[badopinion]

You're a Form-factor

[Smeniac]

stop fucking formfactoring :D

[myshoescramp]

looks pretty interesting, and I wouldn't worry too much about the key board getting stuff in it cause I guess that's what cases would be for.

[CurdsAndWheyLol]

Form Factor

[ThePhiltastic]

iphone FAKE. look at the display, that's incredible

[Blinkwing]

@ThePhiltastic i see that too, take a look at the speaker, the same line!

[TheTypeRTheory]

Load of cleveland.

[Bosert5]

Form Factor

[Anthagonyk]

that is very intresting

[kakawi24]

does he always say form factor

[BeekSizl]

text "Haiti" to 90999 to donate 10 dollars to the American red cross for efforts in helping Haiti. 7.0 earthquake 1/12/09.

[chaos850]

weird as hell.

[YiLuXiangBang]

maby it could flip both sides :D

[TimLake]

Interesting design but definately seems a bit of a gimmick. It's gonna look pretty ugly closed.

[jshaw6000]

If you're a case designer, how the hell are you supposed to design a case for this phone that will protect it?

One whole side of the phone will have to be exposed because of the keyboard rendering any case useless and the phone vulnerable.

Good thinking Motorola.....

[Jonnyinter1]

Phones are made to be shown off. They have a design that's intended for them. Look at the iPhone, it's a really good looking phone. Putting a case on a nice phone, is like putting a plastic cover over your sofa.

[jshaw6000]

But the main point of cases is to protect phones from accidental drops and scratches. Many people want cases because they do just that. Others (like myself) put cases on their phones because they want their phones to look good as new for as long as possible (which can boost the value of the phone should they decide to sell it). There is a huge market for phone cases, just look at itsmemorphious' vids.

[Jonnyinter1]

Your points are completely correct and I always used to put cases on my things and one day I just stopped. My iPhone 3G just has a few hairline scratches and I've had it for nearly 1 and a half years now.

[7331F0X]

is that a Flip you're using to record this?

[kickit246]

I almost think touch screen > touch pad. Hmmm, that would be my preference.

[phaexus]

I don't know if your consideration is in relation to the Backflip, but the Backflip has both.

[Arley2011]

The screen is too small

[seahawkers101]

Android will rule the world!

[SkyFlyProductions]

The Motorola Backflip touch screen seems to look like the iPhone, including the top speaker part when you're using it to your ear

[azariahsimon]

that looks nice

[vinnybonboots]

it looks pretty cool. the touch screen part of it looks exactly like the iPhone though haha

[PoetryRocksGadgets]

@vinnybonboots yeah. It looks like what the next gen iPhone might look like, although the motorola symbol on the top left makes it look like a china phone.

[xXantmanXx7]

@TobiJohn1221... first first first first first

[whitebriefboi]

thats an ugly phone :(

[gsharpshooter80]

hmmm well it's not a replica of something like iphone heh ... ok ok i dunno what credit to give this phone :-P

[holypredator]

bye bye

[midgetman433]

too weird... the camera is on the keyboard and the touch pad is on the back of the screen???

[xCrzycocox]

Imma get this phone in 1 year

[TobiJohn1221]

AWESOME! And people PLEASE STOP SAYING FIRST it is very annoing to me and many others

[barrygd2]

@TobiJohn1221 no body cares

[xxmastermixx]

form factor form factor form factor

Jon has the same 5 descriptive words in all of his videos. haha

[dannners]

novelty phone methinks

[stevenwhite2010]

mmmm not the best idea I've seen for a phone lol

[FSbeats17]

"form factor" lol this guy.

[Bodybuildingryan]

strange, creative design.

Not my kinda phone, but we will see how it sells.

[MyiPodReviewer]

Not one of there better designs. With a full qwerty keyboard u would think they would try a different design such a dedicated number keys and a curved keys.

[nerolite]

Brilliant design, definitely something I would like to use!

[SiLENTxKiLLERxFTW]

should have made it touch screen

[4BD3L4ZIZ]

it is. . . . . .

[cpssnorman]

wow this phone is weird...

[lotsoftrouble101]

of course it has it. This of all phones would have it. So i think all people addressing hitting random buttons should shutup because there actually is such thing as KEYLOCK.

[babybungbu]

I have to say this phone is stupid!

[suckcari]

i dont like this phone

[Bunjabin]

They certainly are trying something new. Can't blame them for sticking with the same formula x)

[elskel666]

You should do a video about the Motorola Rival

[blackjacket123]

i wish my phone had a LED flash

[AkatsukiCentral]

Only could be a Motorola.

[SethDabMedia]

lol there would be WAY to much poket dial

[lotsoftrouble101]

keylock? -_-

[kbudi92]

motorola just cant get it right when it comes to designing phones anymore

[TheMichaelChapman]

Why did he say form factor like 20times in this video???

[iLikeSushiXD]

Why not? :)

[TheMichaelChapman]

I just find it really weird and unprofessional... just like how he always says that everything is "quite nice"

[kiddkaos1]

everyone's on about the keyboard being out, when 50% of phones aren't slide/flip covered.

[slopezdx]

so u cant use this phone with one hand

that sucks :(

[AppleAddict35]

are u a cripple?

[slopezdx]

no but its more convinient if ur m=not texting but using it for other purposes

[dutyfan11]

no he's not

[swoosh1195]

the pad on the back just seems like a hassle

[kookiemoose]

Why?

[Dreamst8r]

we does he always review phones, he's like a tween girl.

[muchomandalove]

Very ugly design D: the keyboard probably won't last too long with all the lint and shit inside a normal pocket getting inside it. Baaaaad idea.

[TimDeNomie]

So the keyboard stays out? What if you're hard on your phone and you drop it and your keys get scuffed up.... Very bad design in my opinion.

[diegodaudt]

sucks i prefer cliq or whatever its called. How is that going to fit in ur pocket

[mvakleko]

Who in their right mind would spend money on this garbage.

[sabu213yahoo]

i hope the guy who designed this doesnt get paid.

[fallenembers08]

auto focus fail..

[TDogMartinez]

Put your hand on your mouth

then say your true loves name

now stop looking at this spam mail and go buy a Motorola Backflip!

[psndoonan1]

The top of that phone looks like the top of the iphone u know the ear speaker who agrees?

[aarliu380]

@psndoonan1 i do....thats exactly what i thought

[XxCamoManxX]

i agree but the Nokia N97 looks the same.. maybee alot of developers use it :S

[chuloo84]

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it!

[rono243]

reminds me of the nokie twist only its acually a good phone

[Samll1991]

well, at least its kind of original

[c3t1f13dgoon]

ugly

[Gregz0r1]

Well, it's... different.

Gargantuan form factor fail IMO.

[AppleSoldier]

you mean that thing dont close? UUHHH!

[Sstarr77]

it does close, its just the security thing at whatever store he is at that blocks it from closing

[FoolyCooly1]

Hi Jon! <3

[Koofoopk]

Looks like a piece of shit. Both the keys and the screen will get messed up.

[GearsOfHalo117]

gah... stupid error.

[JUMPwalkthroughs]

what about pressing buttons in your pocket? that seems like its gona be a problem.

[AppleSoldier]

sounds like hes in a public place like a bar or public tech event

[Wiivified]

CES maybe?!?!? :P I love your irony though :P

[bfhfsuruyw]

HillBilly, u havent heard of CES 2010?! ur dumber than i thought!

[redastehfire18]

the guy talking in the background is really annoying !

[St8UpRandom99]

AT&T wud be getting the ugly android fonres =(

[sebasylw]

29th lol

[MuddyTrails]

error occured.

[unrealgogetr]

yes it might seem stupid but you dont have to buy it duh..and I would think Motorola would have tested the Keyboard out before they sell this phone to the masses...I.E. durability test on the keyboard

[basoon27]

25th

[bbhebe]

An error occurred, please try again later.

[ChaosIntended8900]

stupid stupid stupid X100

[PaperTrail159]

,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[ChaosIntended8900]

is this for real????? like....... Seriously??? this is the dumbest idea ever...the FUCKING keys are exposed....Those will be scratched up in a heart beat. Does Moto think us Consumers are going to have this phone in our pockets all the time let alone buy this? Someone was truely on drugs while making this. We try to keep the iPhone scratch free and handle it it like glass now this comes out?? Please! DUMBST PHONE EVER MADE

[gmcneil66]

In todays world, it takes a lot to come up with something new and different thats is practical. Well this is NOT one of them. A full external keyboard is stupid.

[itsstefpapadopoulos]

sucks really

[gurvir44]

dumbest idea ever, all the inside gets exposed.

[romaniaeste]

the phone is kind of dumb but it is a great phone on the inside

[ArnoldHC]

i think the phone is a stupid idea

[sasuke1145]

???????

[AdamwaitheTV]
