AT&T's New Motorola Backlflip Turns the Phone Inside Out

Best phone at CES: Motorola's new Backflip phone, available from AT&T for $100, offers a unique twist on the cellphone. Full review shows off a keyboard/full screen Android-based phone that folds in and out lengthwise. But instead of folding the keyboard on top of the screen like a traditional clamshell, the Backflip folds so the keyboard and the screen both stay on the outside!

Why do that? Well first, it lets the phone operate as a full-screen slate. And you can bend it forward half way to turn it into a stand-up media player, digital clock or photo frame. It also includes an amazingly innovative touch pad on the BACK of the screen, which lets you control the screen by touching the back of it.

No word on price or carrier, but it is a GSM phone, so itll be available on either AT&T or T-Mobile. Great phone, I cant wait to use one.

DONT GET THIS PHONE!!!!! my mom has had it since January 2011 and SINCE has had to send it back over 5x's for various reason such as freezing,dropped calls,shuting off. There is something wrong with this model phone and the phone company refuses to send her a different type of phone!!!!!

I got this phone around half a year ago, and to me, it sucks. First. Its on 1.5.

And, its metalic and once you drop it, it has scars, th camera button rusted.
