Motorola Backflip Brings Android to AT&T

Android is finally coming to AT&T!

Android is finally coming to AT&T! The Motorola Backflip hits stores on March 7, and will cost customers $99 after a $100 rebate.

The phone, which made its debut at CES this year, features a unique reverse flip design to access the full keyboard and Motoblur, Motorola's way of syncing important info (emails, texts, Twitter feeds) to your home screen. The Backflip features a 3.1-inch touchscreen and comes with a video-capable 5MP camera with 4x digital zoom, cropping, rotating and geotagging capabilities, and the ability to add photo borders and text comments.

The Backflip comes equipped with Android 1.5 but will support an upgrade to Android 2.1 after purchase. While this is the first Android phone for AT&T, four more are expected later this year.

So What's Up With Motorola's Motoblur?

Just yesterday, Motorola introduced the DEVOUR (yes, in all caps) to the cell-toting masses.

Just yesterday, Motorola introduced the DEVOUR (yes, in all caps) to the cell-toting masses. It's the first phone to be released running the unique Android-powered Motoblur technology. What's Motoblur, you ask? Well, Motoblur syncs and feeds your personal and work emails, texts, Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter updates from you and those you follow to your phone's home screen without having to log into different accounts, or open up any webpages or apps. It's all right there on the main screen. This makes things super easy when you want to quickly check up on what's going on out there in your networks with just a few taps.

The Devour itself is like a mini-Droid, coming with a slide-out keyboard, touchscreen, a 3MP camera with cropping, rotating and geo-tagging capabilities, 3G, WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as music and video players. If you want to get your hands on one you'll have to wait — the Devour will hit shelves in March.
