AT&T Motorola Backflip Review

[policeboy0]

TRACH PIECE OF SHIT PHONE DONT BUY WARNING WARNING NO BUY THIS PHONE THIS TRACH IS BAD TRACH BAD BAD WARNING WARNING NO BUY THIS PHONE

[mikenumber35]

I actually liked this phone. The only thing that made it slow was if you didn't regularly delete texts. after about 100 texts mine would lag.... thats actually 200. 100 for each "in" and "outbox"

[xcelpast]

phone is trash. everything is slow as hell.

[mickyd110011]

found a great custom rom. google "unofficial cyanogenmod 6.1.2 mb300"

[mickyd110011]

to have a better motorola backflip, go to modmymobile com / forums / 566-motorola-backflip-roms, and click on unofficial cyanogen 6.1.2 froyo. enjoy a better backflip.

[freakylocz14]

I like the form factor, but the phone sucks. Need a successor with T-Mobile support!

[LittleDinosoar]

backflip 2 with 4.3 inch touchscreen?

[Simplistified]

terrible phone...

[m3m3bab3]

i love this phone as a few glitchs bu tits awesome for kids

[missjulie132]

OMG i HATE this phone soooo much! The battery life sucks! I take it out of the charger in the morning and when i go to school i put it away but after school when i take it out theres only 15% of battery left! Like wtf i didnt even use it!

[MsHeyheyhey]

this is the worst phone

[adioo890]

man i love the features, but, there should be an upgraded version like bigger screen, keep the backflip style, better calibrated touchpad, and like the 1 or 1.5 gigahertz processor, naw meen?

[hectorluvzlinda]

horrible fone and i get dropped call hoping to get the LG thrill

[kelboswell]

I didn't even watch the video, but I can state from experience that this is the absolute worst, most useless piece of crap on the market. I've had one for nearly two years (actually, I'm on the 4th one). It doesn't matter which entry I pick from my 'recent calls' list to call. It just picks one at random. Also, this thing is PAINFULLY slow. 20 seconds from the time I open my contacts, until they actually appear. The 'touchscreen' is tiny and extremely unresponsive. The broswer is a waste

[Theking196]

motorola on drugs, the physical keyboards just make the phone look fat and bricky, which is not a plus

[benk126]

i have this phone it is ok my home button stopped working after about 4 months the screen can be sort of laggy but other than that it is pretty cool

[shadyguy999]

I've owned this phone for awhile. for about a year, maybe longer.

I will say, it isint a very good phone. Its a bit slow, has quite a few issues with every day tasks, and takes more than five seconds to display a call. sometimes it stop working alltogether.

And, it constantly resets itself.

[Tilleyass]

im replacing this piec of trash today with a blackberry! im tired of the green answer bar having to hit it 6 or 7 times just to answer a call. hanging up is just as bad! the thing STINKS!

[baileyantonition]

I HATE THIS PHONE! it is always freezing and turning off by itself and it has so many problems I hate it!

[Tilleyass]

the green answer bar takes several taps just to answer a call, and the battery life is POOR!

[isaiahtevans]

@esterballz infuse is the way to go

[estherballz]

IS this phone good or not?

[SirWingfoot]

@estherballz its a horrible phone, i hate it



[mariopawnch]

@estherballz its not at all

if you want android on ATT get the atrix or the infuse

[ELITEDOGFIGHTER]

epic design , there are choices for a 100$ other than this .

[mattmasi303]

@xXmEtAlFaNxJxLx ive only seen att do that lol

[superminut]

SIEMPRE FUI UNA PERSONA A LA QUE LE GUSTA LO A QUE NADIE NO ASI QUE ESTE ES MIS CELULAR!

[DaBombRox99]

everyone hates on this phone i have it and it is a really good phone especially the keyboard

[jrbeck2]

i hate this phone. i have had it for a year, and all of the buttons are broken.

[DwarfDaPluto]

This phone looks like shit

1. It looks like a copy of an iPhone

2. It looks really laggy

3. I'm happy with my Motorolla Charm

[Gipshaw]

Completely removes the need for a second(front-facing) camera.

[HaloMC117]

someone selling this on craigslist for $100. already have a htc aria. any suggestions? leave it and quit it or buy it and enjoy it?

[carnage1295]

fuck the backflip. stupid phone kept freezing on me.

[withcookies]

I have this phone!f its really shitty... dont get it... it freezes and goes very slow... i cant even answer calls because it doesnt respond... its just like your first windows computer... it doesnt work >.<

[GuitarAddict1289]

this fone sucks dick from a straw, it is the slowest piece of shit ever, i dropped it once and the screen cracked, and i had a protector on it. when i get a text it stalls out and i have to wait like 30 seconds until i read the message. DO NOT BUY

[GriffVirgil]

after 13 months mine died i loved it R.I.P backflip YOU WILL BE MISSED

[TaranEdward]

Looks stupid, why would they make the keyboard on the back, and a track pad? Pointless, I have a Motorola Defy, that is a good phone.

[skaterboy4802]

piece of crap

[OMGitsSOPHIE22]

i hate this phone so much. it's a piece of crap. no wonder at&t doesn't sell it anymore...

[n697q]

is it multitouch???

[0pticSniping410]

ive had this phone for a while and it sucks. its extremely slow and very complicated to update. im now buying the samsung captivate. im hoping its better.

[xcelpast]

DO NOT BUY it is ridiculously slow. won't even slide left and right smoothly.

[12GBKT]

everyone in the comments is telling me that it's shit, but WHY is it so bad? I can't see why and all the professional reviews (phonearena, this, etc etc.) say it's ok. and it looks awesome.

[GuitarAddict1289]

@12GBKT they do it because they are paid to, i have had this phone for about a year and it is terriblee, it is so slow and if in doing something and i get a text message, the phone frezes for about 10 seconds, just dont buy it im just trying to help you out. i was like you i loved this fone when i got it, but then realized how terrible it was

[12GBKT]

@GuitarAddict1289 Thanks, I appreciate your response. I'm going for the milestone now.

[21thDrawer]

Crap

[noellenichole]

@XxBostonCelticxX Is it still awesome? Considering getting it.

[xcelpast]

@noellenichole dude, unless you like random shutdowns, an extremely slow processor that cannot handle motoblur, and just overall crap, then go for it

[xtazanu]

OKAY MY MOM HAD This phone and i was like why does she hate hit so she let me useit while she got a new phone and all i have to say it sucks

[gleek1026]

This phone is slow as hell, the reception where I live sucks and it shuts down randomly.

[greyfoxzero]

Motorola comes up with these interesting designs for android phones but then they gimp the os with motoblur and the lack of os updates. Sad really since this is holding back the company. More and more people are moving away from their devices.

[djwheelman091]

I've had this and the IPhone 3GS, I like the backflip alot more..

[KangDaeSungg]

Do you know how to upgrade it? I'm die-ing to have a 2.1 or above androi than th 1.5!

[Paynester11]

what is wrong with this phone that no one likes?

[gabriellep1108]

@Paynester11 its fucking slow

[CR85Xx]

@gabriellep1108 mine isnt slow u must have a load of shit on yours.

[lukeskywak34]

best phone ever.

[JocJav]

im was thinking to get this mb300 bad or good idea?

[joejefferiesisuhmayz]

@JocJav HORRIBLE IDEA



[JocJav]

@joejefferiesisuhmayz already bought and i phone :P

[GlassZombieVal]

Worse phone ever lol. I hate it. Its slow. Freezes. And acts up all the time

[MrShaqatak]

@sabrinaluren do you wanna sell it to me?

[VTechhokies216]

if phone gets slow.....do factory reset (itll erase ur apps tho) but it makes it so fast

[OcarinaBrothers]

It isn't the worst phone but take it for what it is. Slow processor means slower performance. Don't expect atrix speeds. It's great for texters and general android use but don't expect high end games and apps to work on it.

[sabrinaluren]

THIS PHONE IS HORRIBLE AFRTER HAVING IT FOR ALMOST A YEAR I CNAT DEAL AT ALL IT SUCKS SO MUCH ITS SO SLOW I GOT AN UOPDATE AND ITS STILL ACTING UP! -___________-

[gaminglgnd123]

This or the flipout?

[qb500]

after owning the phone for 3- 5 months, i can almost guarantee ur gonna hate it :/

[kingnick022]

i'm usually not a negative person but thats a pretty stupid design

[Nick4484]

This phone has cool features ie( laptop mode) but powerful not so much,

Like he says it will do android just not so fast. It's like the little engine that could of

the android market.

[arminrmhp]

this phone can't handle android, it sucks!

[gundamnduke0]

the phone has a nice design, i like it a lot.

but like jon said, it's not for high end users, it's extremely slow with a lot of lag n load time. other than that, i hav no prob with it, unless u live outside of the us, which means u r fucked since u cant upgrade it from the suck ass android 1.5 to 2.1

[PolarCard]

@14CTD you should give it back :P

[14CTD]

@PolarCard buy it

[LockedInLovex]

My boyfriend has this phone and loves it to death so I don't know what you guys are talking about who say it's so terrible. :|

[Hyder305]

This phone is GARBAGE! It keeps turning off and back on in the middle of a text or if you drop it from more than 2 inches then it restarts or if you have it in the cupholder in your car and it falls over then it will restart too, and then other times it just restarts for no reason.

[yankeeny30]

hey john i started watching but the vid quality was terrible! so BLUR-ry

[kittinkuttie]

I love This phone I've had it for about 4 months and it's amazing okay. There is literally NOTHING wrong with this fucking phone. ;D

[MadElyn0933]

I just traded for the backflip and i was wondering for everyone who doesnt like this phone why and what signs about the phone i should look out for.

[Calebbbx]

To All The Fucking Haters On This Phone Its A Good Phone!

Theres Nothing Wrong With It!((:

But Im Getting The Iphone4:DD

[jgangsta33]

NO ONE GET THIS PIECE OF SH*T ITS ABSOLUTE CRAP

[Steiiinnn]

This phone is not good? Damm, i'm looking for a good flip cellphone with android, i think this is the best phone/price i found. I was thinking about a milestone 2, but it's a little expansive for me in my country, and this phone, not bad, and you can upgrade to andoid 2.2....

You guys don't suggest buy it?

[Avenged7Fold923]

@Steiiinnn I would buy the Motorola FlipSide!!!

[MaddieRose690]

@Steiiinnn It isn't expensive because of the horrible quality.. Soon you will understand.. Someone stole it from me and I was sooo happy because I got an upgrade to the Flipside.. Is it better ?

[delicigasm]

the flipside is the best " flip " phone

[harritaco]

this phone is such a slow piece of shit. trust me i own it.

[pizza1621]

this looks rlly cool, but from all the comments..... i need a tru answer, yes or no? now i have the samsung impression and i just dont know. half of the ppl say say, the other half no....WHAT SHOULD I DO?

[pizza1621]

this looks rlly cool, but from all the comments..... i need a tru answer, yes or no? now i have the samsung impression and i just dont know. half of the ppl say say, the other half no....WHAT SHOULD I DO?

[Slambrezzy11]

Pinkbrenda @ yes they do.; look on amazon

[supdersquad10]

This phone is basicaly an amazing phone. All you have too do once you get it so it won't be slow and laggy is update it to Android 2.1

[Pinkbrenda989]

I wanna buy one but they like dont sell it annymore

[2010pspgo]

has this phone been upgraded to a newer os?

[KimJjongKey]

No, i won't say this phone is lousy. BUT. This phone i very laggy, after you use for a few months, you have to switch off th phone every 3 days as it is too laggy. When someone calls, th phone rings but th screen take 5 seconds after it rings to come on.

[stdane96]

THIS PHONE IS SHIT. HAVE HAD IT NOW FOR 5 MONTHS AND IT IS THE WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER OWNED. EVER

[Texarmageddon]

@stdane96 AGREED!!! I said I rathe3r be broke then deal with it anymore.... broke my wallet for a new phone

[durt567]

@stdane96 why ???

[samsamluv]

@stdane96 y?



[rancha83]

@stdane96 this is a great review. short and clear message. ill never even think to bye this phone. well done bro

[gLu3r]

@Airwaves317 its just chillen no battery but its in perfect condition lol

[samaya0574]

I loved this phone, although it would "Foreclose" occasionally if too many apps are going at one time but it's a really good phone

[DarkSp3c3d]

This phone is so slow after a while, refrain from buying it.

[Victorgotacoolsn]

Im so glad I did not get this and I got a Captivate, (:

[VeryFunnyKid]

@XxBostonCelticxX dont get it , for 99$ U can get the best phone on ATT htc inspire

[Texarmageddon]

@VeryFunnyKid YES! the inspire is a crazy good phone

[reflex119]

[supernick228]

jon4lakers plz reply i am constantly looking to buy this phone but it is out of stock for now, plz tell me why this is and if you know when it is coming back.

[Krisrilee]

THIS IS THE MOST FAIL PHONE EVER!. mine was okay for a month or 2. but it started freezing and slowing down. had it replaced twice and all freeze and slow down. not worth it. most freezes last so long that the screen times out

[jayman123jay]

[deathspiked1]

i really like it its really for the small use and its great for me since i am 11 and have not alot of use for a phone

[Xxcookiemonsta97xX]

@deathspiked1 This phone is NOT for small usage xD

Hence the MotoBlur. It's an Android phone.

If you want a simple small phone, pick another one xD

This one is thick and very entricate.

[destiny4432]

THIS PHONE SUCKS. DO NOT GET IT. It's EXTREMELY slow and you cannot text multiple people at once because it freezes up all the time. It's sooo slow and it is extremely irritating.

[myLego1234]

i got dat fone

[MikuMioT]

Nothing wrong with this phone, just like or unlike please dont say it suck or something

[blackangel5555]

The ugly BACKFLIP is a Major turnoff, sorry. I came here to see a review and see what the fuss was about but I can't get into the backflip thing

[legogirl09]

is this a touchscreen?

[KeyaraSimonee]

Yess

[Hushftw]

I FREAKIN' WANT THIS PHONE

[xohannuh]

THIS PHONE SUCKS.

[Jerz1983]

This dickhead said "FULL REVIEW" but didnt say anything about how much memory it has, or the size of the screen. 8 mins of BLAH BLAH BLAH

[dieguinone]

@Jerz1983 5:30

[Jerz1983]

@dieguinone No he just said the size of the screen, not how much memory there is. I want both

[buckethead10Alex]

I got this phone for free from a friend, he says it's stuck on the motorola blur boot up screen. Anyone know how to fix that ?

[rjp493]

I keep on hearing bad and good comments if it's bad or good can you please tell me why I am thinking of getting it so knowing ahead of time if this phone is reliable it would really help my desision alot message me

[TheOMGbeandip]

@rjp493 The phone is overall good, I think. Many pros and cons. Pros are the keyboard, text messaging layout, apps, contacts, camera, etc etc. Cons are the battery lowers ALOT when you use it. Sensitive touch screen, and if you use alot of apps it becomes slow. But this phone is pretty decent

[allstarweekendgirl]

OMG I LOVE THIS PHONE I WANT IT SOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!

[theheadlinedraft]

You mixed up "practice" and "theory". In theory it works well. In practice you show how it isn't that effective :)

[datboidillon]

44 people have this phone

[TeeeReXX2]

@datboidillon OMFG! this phone SUCKS!

[ToastAndSausage]

@datboidillon Dont you mean 576? Its a great phone

[AveIvy]

I just ordered this phone, I hope I like it when it's delivered.

[ThePoisonedCupcake]

I love this phone to death. This phone is perfect for the people who tend to drop things because I have dropped this phone a number of times and it perfectly fine.If your are considering buying it, just do it :)

[AmyChanChi]

@ThePoisonedCupcake r u sure? i heard alot of bad things about this phone like it freezes alot or has software erros an the keyboard stops working becuz im thnkin about gettin this phonbe maybe

[TheManAmigo]

Thx for ur review.. Good job man

[Earthbound64]

Liebe YOUTUBER:

ACHTUNG ACHTUNG!!!!

Kauft euch NICHT dieses sog. "Smartphone"!!!!! Es ist ein SCHEIß fabriziertes MINDERWERTIGES Handy, welches VOLLKOMMEN veraltet ist=>

Es gibt in EUROPA garkeinen ANDROID Updates, sprich, ihr BLEIBT FÜR IMMER auf der 1.5 Version, die zum Teil GROB fehlerhaft ist!

AKKU Wackelkontakt: Das Handy schaltet sich ab und zu EINFACH so ab und ist EXTREM lästig!

Die TOUCHSCREEN Funktion ist LOW Shit Qualität, 100fach Schlechter als Iphone Touchscreen!

ALLEN WEITERSAGEN

[MrJTKILLA01]

@Earthbound64 DF O_O

[MrJTKILLA01]

@Earthbound64 DF!?!?!

[lopez10058959]

[adefilabola615]

[finaldeathride]

asas

[knoxvillelife]

Hows The Video Quality???

[SuperPeople360]

how much is this phone in australia

[Fashionlover2396]

@SuperPeople360 hello (: i'm from Aus too and found it on optus' website for $149 online, not sure if its the same price in store and that is on prepaid not a plan. Not sure where else you can get it if your not with optus, sorry but I hope I helped (:

[SuperPeople360]

@Fashionlover2396 yeah i saw it for $ 149 to online but yeah thanks anyways :)

[disney605]

@SuperPeople360 it went down

[feenicksftw]

"It's a great idea in practice, but in theory it doesn't work so well." lol fail.

[keithie13]

lol i thought that ; that little dot on the phone was on my computer screen so i was over here scratching the screen and realized it was the phone :/ i fail lol

[skelanimals0000]

what happen when it fall down?

[mazoverkid]

Good vid but I have this phone and ill give it a 4.5 for a 528MHz processor which is ok

[Harmageddn]

how is the touch screen on this one? do you have to PRESS or is it like the iphone you just touch? THANKS A BUNCH!

[wesley1349]

@Harmageddn Capacitive, which is the same as the iphone! :D

[OcarinaBrothers]

You can turn off the backtrack (thats the thing in back of the screen). It works fine for me though. I love this phone to death but it does do its own thing sometimes lol.

[Dave13I31]

i keep hearing that the battery life is bad. what do you think?

[OcarinaBrothers]

@Dave13I31 Mine has its days. Some days its below 50% before i'm even out of school and i never use it during school. BUT there are days, like today, where it was amazing. I unplugged it at 6 AM and it is now 9:30 and the batteries at 60% and i've done some web surfing, music player, texting, and 1 or 2 games. This phone seems to have a mind of its own sometimes. What i mean by that is sometimes it will do its own thing and it frustrates me but overall its a solid phone and its built like a tank

[AirSoFtWORshiPPer]

backflip or iphone 4??

Please reply!!!!!

[mexicanninja214]

@AirSoFtWORshiPPer iphone 4 or backflip i say backflip keyboard 5 mega pixel camera and a FLASH

[DagaParkour]

@AirSoFtWORshiPPer iphone 4 definitely! I've had my backflip since it came out, and it is very frustrating. Forget texting more than one person at a time rapidly, forget the thing on the back its just annoying, i actually turned my off. the WORST part about this phone, is the lag time. ITS SO LAGGY, even if you have 0 apps, and only about 10 pictures, you'll find it extremely laggy. The android market isn't good either, you can't find the good games.
