Motorola has a new cell phone in which the screen flips up (like a laptop) instead of the keyboard popping out, reports the Jun Azua blog.

It has one screen which can display forward and back (one for when you’re using the keyboard and one when you’re not).

So, actually, there are three modes in which you can use it:

Use the screen towards the inside and folded out

Here the phone operates like a mini-laptop, well, actually a palmtop.

Use the screen towards the outside and folded in

In this mode, you have a hand-held video/music player without the keyboard or number pad taking space from the screen.

Use the screen towards the outside and folded out

In this mode, you have a hands-free video player. Just put it on a table or desk and you can watch your movie or video clip without having to prop it up against anything.

Or you can use it as an alarm clock.

Features

The Backflip includes Motorola’s MotoBlur, which according to the company melds friends, pics, emails, messages, and Facebook, MySpace and Twitter into one feed. This is all displayed together on the screen so you don’t have check each website individually.

Other features:

Multinetwork 3G

• 6 hours talk time
• Android OS
• Wifi/Bluetooth
• Video/still camera (5MP) with flash
• GPS
• 3.1 inch 320×480 screen
• Voice dialing

   Highly impressed, discovered your webpage on Bing. Happy I finally tested it out. Unsure if its my Chrome browser, but sometimes when I visit your site, the fonts are really small? Anyway, love your page and will return. Bye

   @Sol,

   Hmm, that’s strange. You can hit Ctrl+= to increase the font size in Chrome and Firefox.

   Immediately after having the BACKFLIP inside the mail I was satisfied yo know I could update the new firmware. I missed the rush, and it was lucky. I’ve had the Backflip for above a month a few factors 3 or 4 crashes inside a 30 days not lousy for 15-20 apps open New WIFI details, and a larger edge dada than prior Nokia E61 and N93 Wonderful that the BACKFLIP includes a flex keyboard, the screen is usually a bit tough on the edges. You get 500 messages a day from Twitter, Facebook, Yaho, and who ever else yopu want. If you’ve got 30-60 accurate close friends, that is a great mobile phone if you could have more it is going to grab as well a great deal facts. Just a 30 days but a good telephone.
