Motorola Backflip / Enzo bringing Android contortions to AT&T: ”
We covered this ugly piece of work on the podcast a week ago or so. Looks like the “back” is the keyboard area which I said would be really stupid, and I stand by that statement. Am I the only one that thinks this thing is fugly? Hit the jump link to get the rest of the details brought to you by Engadget.
Just when we though this decade had run short on phone form factors, Motorola comes along to blow our minds with this new Backflip / Enzo / Motus device. Amazingly, the most interesting part of this device might not even be the reverse hinge design, which flips the keyboard back behind the screen and faces out when not in use, but the fact that there’s a clear-as-day AT&T logo on it — something we’d heard rumored, but dared not believe until we saw it with our own eyes. The rest of the leaked photos go on to corroborate earlier rumors: there’s a touchpad on the back of the keyboard to aid in no-look scrolling, it’s running Blur on top of Android 1.5 (with a few AT&T apps, Yahoo search and no Gmail), and it runs the same 528MHz processor as the CLIQ. Hard to believe this very same company builds the Droid.
