Motorola Backflip
$100.00
Released March, 2010
The Pros:Trackpad behind the display offers a new and intuitive way of controlling the device. Full physical QWERTY keyboard. Fairly slim an sleek.
The Cons:Somewhat gimmicky. Same old CPU & Android version as the CLIQ, little more than a CLIQ clone. Trackpad on the back of the display isn't as useful as a front trackball / optical pad.
