Another social-oriented smartphone for AT&T, the Motorola Flipout has appeared on ebay which is powered by Android 2.1 & MOTOBLUR UI capabilities. It was debuted on AT&T carriers a few days ago on 19th September and have supposedly cancelled the Flipout sales at present. So we can expect that it is coming soon again on AT&T.
Motorola Flipout comes with swivel square design which hides a five row flipping Qwerty keyboard that rotates out from underneath with a separate number row and a D-pad, which looks very much similar to Nokia Twist. As always, MOTOBLUR comes fully integrated with GPS tracking and remote data wipe. Flipout is a 3.5G device with a maximum download speed of 7.2 Mbps and upload speed of up to 2 Mbps.
Motorola Flipout features 2.8 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen, Qwerty keyboard, 3MP(2048×1536 pixels) camera with Kodak’s PerfectTouch technology, 3G, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, TI OMAP3410 600MHz processor with 512MB RAM & 512MB ROM, 2GB in-built & microSD card slot for 32GB expansion, MOTOBLUR UI 1.5 with Live Widgets.
