Here it is, folks. Motorola has gotten around to announcing the FLIPOUT, aka that strange and square Motorola smartphone. The big news here apart from its strange, swivel design and 67mm square body and Android 2.1, are the enhancements made to MOTOBLUR. In a nutshell, you’re going to be able to resize widgets, implement filters in your Happenings and Messages widgets, and have access to corporate email. Apart from the modern Android staples of digital compass, Wi-Fi, GPS and 7.2Mbps HSDPA, the FLIPOUT has to its name a 2.8″ QVGA display, 3 megapixel camera and 512MB internal memory. We’re trying to find out processor powers this thing, but we imagine it won’t be anything too special. The Motorola FLIPOUT will be available in Europe sometime this quarter. Hit up the break to check out a trio of videos which show off the FLIPOUT and the changes made to MOTOBLUR.

    One of the few devices I have seen where they got the D-Pad in the correct location…too bad the phone fell out of the Ugly Tree and straight into the Bog of Eternal Stench.

    wow a moto handset that comes with an os revision higher than 1.6 im suprised

    Please tell me I’m not the only one that thinks MOTOBLUR is in need of a serious redesign.? Out of all the Android skins, my two favorites are HTC’s Sense UI (for design) and Samsung TouchWiz (for functionality). MOTOBLUR, however, is very ugly IMO.

    • Mitch

      You aren’t the only one.

      MOTOBLUR is pretty poor in my opinion. HTC’s Sense hit the nail on the head.

    Why does every single Motorola phone look retarded as hell?

  • Max Rubinstein

    Do not understand comments about ugly. I actually held it in my hands a few times and it is a very usable form factor. The swivel action is very smooth, and it feels solid.

  • Flixoman

    First the BACKFLOP…now the FLOPOUT? What is next: FRONTFLOP? I have to admit I would look at a phone if it was called the FLIPOFF :)

    You people whining about blur and the device’ try using the functionality first. It may not be as pretty, but blur is way more functional. Pretty sure this phone will not be targted towards most people on this site… Jeez think before you speak

  • crappypunk

    bubi bubi!

    I actually think this thing looks really cool. I would never get it, but when I was a kid I would have totally jumped for this thing in a heartbeat.

    I heard it runs on an OMAP 3410 (Cortex A8 600Mhz) which is respectably fast.
