Motorola Flipside (AT&T)

 

The Motorola Flipside has an excellent QWERTY keyboard, but it's a bit clunky and could use a software update.

Excellent QWERTY keyboard. Solid construction. Stellar voice quality.

So-so reception. Short battery life. Not the latest version of Android.

Apps, Multimedia, and Conclusions Like most Motorola Android phones, the Flipside features Motorola's MotoBlur overlay on top of Android 2.1. The 720Mhz, ARM Cortex-A8 TI OMAP 3410 processor is fast enough for most tasks, but we really wish this phone...

Motorola Flipside (AT&T) review

 

Ever since Motorola branded itself as a big producer of Android smartphones, we've seen the models pour out. The Motorola Flipside , for instance, is one of a quintet of handsets first announced at CTIA, and one of a trio destined for AT&T . The...

The Motorola Flipside has a trackpad, a good keyboard, and up to 32GB of expandable memory. In a nod to business professionals, it also supports corporate e-mail through Microsoft Exchange. We appreciate the camera's post-production editing options.

It's heavy and bulky, and the Flipside's microSD card is inconveniently placed behind the back cover. The Android smartphone is hobbled by poor call quality.

Despite its uninspired look and feel, the Motorola Flipside has a well-rounded feature set that balances a socializing agenda with corporate e-mail. That is, if you can look past the troublesome call quality.

The Motorola FLIPSIDE is another of the seven Android phones that Motorola announced at CTIA 2010. It sports a 3.1 one inch touchscreen, a slide out QWERTY keyboard, and Android 2.1 with MOTOBLUR.

Computer tards Don't overload mem!(&Free backup online)

 

All of these reviews were from people who wanted HTC/ tablet & they don't know how to keep a computer clean. ~No pron unless youtube & clear your phone hardware occasionally. No more than 1-2 tabs open (Munu Button >Windows >X).

Gets a solid signal Allows a couple apps before you get your 16gb SD card in mail Sweet easter egg: at night, the keyboard makes trim light like xmas Music player (or do Winamp) ~upper average camera Yahoo.com Minime Blackjack works

~Its no supercomputer but does its job--unless you dont know how to "stop your cheek from clicking" (uh "LockButton?!") ~Doesn't play the in-browser based MMO games

"Shame on Motorola for making such a crappy device"

 

It has all been said, here is a ncice review:Some of the problems are: there is no memory so you can't utilize the phone and the apps; when charging you can't use the phone to even check a text message; when talking on the phone, if your cheek hits the...

The display looks good. Too bad you can use any of the apps.

Everything. No memeory so you can't use any of the apps. Call quality is poor. Mosst expensive paper weight I ever bought.

"I regret ever buying this phone. Absolutely worthless."

 

In the first week I had it, it had a memory leak, had to root the phone and fix it on my own because AT&T refused to believe there was a problem. The camera BLOWS. It's not even good enough to read QR codes. How could Motorola release a phone that is...

It's an Android phone. Android is pretty awesome. Too bad this phone did a horrible job of implementing it.

Everything else.

"Worst Phone Ever on the Market"

 

The touch screen never works properly and must constantly be reset. When typing and reading texts, the phone starts going into menus on its own, copying contacts, deleting things, calling people...absolutely a rip off. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHONE

The size of the phone is okay

Literally EVERYTHING else. It has been malfunctioning since the day I got it.

Motorola FLIPSIDE

 

Purchased three phones to go along with my plan. Battery life is short but then again, its a smart phone. Biggest drawback is that all three phones freeze from time to time. Yesterday my daughter's phone went "nuts". The screen randomly going from one...
