Really, everything about the device feels the same  as the Cliq. Even the love-it-or-hate-it MotoBlur interface is still in place.  But depending on the price and carrier, it could be a popular product.<\/p>\n<p>The device is different and that\u2019s important these day. The Backflip\u2019s claim  to fame is that there is touchpad on the backside of the screen. It allows users  to interact with the phone without their fat fingers getting in the way.\u00a0Controlling\u00a0the phone this way wasn\u2019t exactly instantly intuitive during our hands-on, but it was certainly.<span id=\"more-24689\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>But the interface is somewhat clunky and laggy\u00a0just like the Cliq. It  doesn\u2019t have the power or the grace of the Droid &#8212; or the keyboard or the solid feel or the 5MP camera.<\/p>\n<p>The Backflip isn\u2019t anything that will change the Android landscape like the  Droid or Nexus One. It\u2019s just a solid entry-level Android device that tweens and  geeks on a budget will probably dig.<\/p>\n<p><style type='text\/css'>\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 16%;\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n<p>\t\t<!-- see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php --><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-7' class='gallery galleryid-24689'>\n<dl class='gallery-item'>\n<dt class='gallery-icon'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2010\/01\/06\/hands-on-with-motorola-backflip\/4-3\/' title='4'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"4\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class='gallery-item'>\n<dt class='gallery-icon'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2010\/01\/06\/hands-on-with-motorola-backflip\/5-2\/' title='5'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"5\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class='gallery-item'>\n<dt class='gallery-icon'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2010\/01\/06\/hands-on-with-motorola-backflip\/attachment\/6\/' title='6'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/6-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"6\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class='gallery-item'>\n<dt class='gallery-icon'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2010\/01\/06\/hands-on-with-motorola-backflip\/attachment\/7\/' title='7'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/7-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"7\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class='gallery-item'>\n<dt class='gallery-icon'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2010\/01\/06\/hands-on-with-motorola-backflip\/8-2\/' title='8'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/8-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"8\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class='gallery-item'>\n<dt class='gallery-icon'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2010\/01\/06\/hands-on-with-motorola-backflip\/attachment\/9\/' title='9'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/9-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"9\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<p><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both;' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Crunch Network<\/em><\/strong>:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchgear.com\">CrunchGear<\/a><em> <\/em>drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7kzDfhHLiLlWr1HlF7LJBUt60Dc\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7kzDfhHLiLlWr1HlF7LJBUt60Dc\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7kzDfhHLiLlWr1HlF7LJBUt60Dc\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7kzDfhHLiLlWr1HlF7LJBUt60Dc\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=mibWuaL7K9Q:OZnXYrepasg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=mibWuaL7K9Q:OZnXYrepasg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=mibWuaL7K9Q:OZnXYrepasg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=mibWuaL7K9Q:OZnXYrepasg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=mibWuaL7K9Q:OZnXYrepasg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We spent a few minutes with the just-announce Backflip and, well, it\u2019s a Moto Cliq with weird swivel keyboard.
