Motorola FLIPOUT gets official

Motorola FLIPOUT

Motorola has made its new Android 2.1 powered FLIPOUT official (though we’ve seen it before). The device sports a cool form factor that centers around a swing out QWERTY keyboard. It looks something like a Nokia 7705, but with Android goodness and an updated version of MOTOBLUR inside.

Some of the key updates to MotoBlur include the ability to filter out certain types of content from your various social network feeds. The home screen widgets are also available in various sizes.

The phone features 7.2Mbps HSDPA 3G connectivity and is powered by a 1170mAh battery that is good for up to 4.5 hours of talk time. You’ll also find a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 2.8-inch QVGA res capacitive touchscreen, an FM radio, and a 3 megapixel camera. aGPS and a 2GB microSD card are also included, and the phone supports the new 32GB cards as well.

Motorola has also said that it will offer some brightly colored rear covers as optional customization accessories.

Rumor: Verizon X Phone candidate discovered, to pack dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor

by Chris Smith, 1 day ago

A new report says that Verizon may release in the future a Motorola handset similar to the XT1058 (rumored AT&T XFON), suggesting that a CDMA Google X Phone may be launched alongside a GSM version…

If that’s real, I can now safely say that the X phone isn’t Nexus, but rather a slightly skinned Motorola phone (if that screenshot is true) because the “droid blast” icon doesn’t follow the design line of the other holo icons

“Droid Blast” sounds like something you’d need to take Imodium to prevent from happening again.

It was nice while it lasted, well, back to waiting for the next nexus in november.

Love the way the render looks.

The concept picture looks pretty sweet but the specs are a year old. If this is true, I’ll pass.

Google should give Motorola chance with next nexus device or make multiple Nexuses with more then one manufacture.
Main problem in my point view with Motorola is slow update I hope after Google acquisition it will be faster I will skip this device if it is not Nexus and I will C if Motorola getting better in updating wise or not.

Hate to kill the excitement here, but just by seeing the “droid blast” option we know it’s Verizon exclusive and that kills the possibility of it being a nexus. It would be cool to see software from all the different oem’s directly available for nexus devices or even all phones. For example, what if you like the build quality of a Motorola but the Samsung touch wiz software. Or you like HTC sense but want a removable battery and expandable storage options of Samsung Galaxy phones. This would also grant the ability to turn any hardware capable phone into a nexus style device as well.
