Motorola Backflip is a touchscreen  smartphone  released for the AT&T network in March of 2010. It runs on the open source Google Android software platform.

It has a full QWERTY keypad with an unusual "reverse flip" design. When the device is closed and the screen is visible to the user, the reverse side is the keypad itself. Opening the device causes the screen to flip so that it rests above the keypad.

The phone is built on the Android Platform, Android 1.5. Motorola recently announced that the Android 2.1 software update will come in Q3 2010.
 Motorola features MOTOBLUR, which integrates multiple networking sites on the homescreen. This feature can not be uninstalled or disabled. Workarounds have been discovered, which requires the user's computer and advanced knowledge.

Users may customize their phones by installing apps through the Android Market  , however, the Backflip does not give users the option to install non-market apps.This has created some controversy with users, as the non-market apps are often seen as a useful way to expand a phone's capabilities. Advanced users can circumvent this limitation by manually installing 3rd party apps using the command prompt or terminal  services.
