Sluggish at times and spontaneously rebooted once during our review period

Small screen
Keyboard's durability in question since it's exposed on the back.
The Backflip from Motorola is not going to score a perfect 10 from any judge that I know. The form factor is odd for no good reason at all, though the larger keyboard and solid design help a little bit. Only time will tell whether or not people take t...
I always like seeing innovation in gadget design. Sometimes new designs catch on and sometimes they don't. While I'm not about to put money on Motorola Backflip's reverse-folding, rear-mounted trackpad concept catching fire in the wireless world, I ac...
An Android phone with a keyboard and solid features for a nice price. Unique design, Android mug shot: The Nexus One, Acer Liquid, Backflip and Motorola Devour, An Android phone with a keyboard and solid features for a nice price
Battery life is never great with MOTOBLUR. Unique design either captivates or deters. AT&T bloatware-- will they never stop?, Battery life is never great with MOTOBLUR. Unique design either captivates or deters. AT&T bloatware-- w
The Motorola Backflip will either have you doing backflips or calling it the "Backflop". We can't and shouldn't try to change your mind since design is akin to personal statement these days. If you dig the Backflip's design and are looking for...
Creative design balances style and function. MicroSD port lets you pack it full of tunes. Supports Android Marketplace for app downloads. QWERTY keys are large, easy to use. Beefy hinge keeps the phone from swinging around wildly. 5MP camera (with flash!)
One of the weakest Android offerings to date. Replaces Android's Google search with Yahoo. Underpowered and responds at a glacial pace while multitasking. Filled with AT&Tbranded bloatware. Flimsy battery door. Screen is too small for its iconheavy UI
A combination of the Backflip's underpowered hardware and AT&T's hideous software makes the Backflip a frustrating media phone. Music plays fine, though there's no included syncing software (all that bloatware and no syncing software!) and you...

Abstract: After a slow start, Motorola have taken off running with Android smartphone development. Only last week we were reviewing the Motorola DEVOUR for Verizon, and this week we’ve had the Motorola BACKFLIP in our hands, headed for AT&T’s network in the US. ...
The Motorola Backflip features a fresh design with a trackpad behind the display for navigating the phone. The Android device also offers a 5-megapixel camera, extra AT&T services, and the full spectrum of wireless options
The Backflip is sluggish at times and spontaneously rebooted once during our review period. The smartphone is only running Android 1.5. Screen size is a bit small, and we worry about the keyboard's durability since it's exposed on the back
As AT&T's first Android phone, the Motorola Backflip offers a unique design but it's rather lackluster in the features and performance department. It's a decent choice if you're upgrading from a feature phone, but anyone looking for speed...

Abstract: AT&T's first Android phone, the Backflip, is a smartphone for people who probably wouldn't otherwise buy a smartphone. And for them—and only them—it might just work.$100, on a two-year contract with AT&T. As usual, you can expect retailers to beat this pr...
Abstract: Motorola’s hottest new smartphone is primed to drop sometime in Q1 2010 and should see AT&T customers running to trade in their current phones. The BACKFLIP looks like it’s going to offer an exciting mix of features and fun, however, the phone’s most c...
