Android 2.1 Powers Motorola FLIPOUT Has Touch UI

Motorola FLIPOUT seems to be another social-oriented smartphone with clever design and flipping QWERTY keyboard. It runs Android 2.1 and features the latest MOTOBLUR UI.It seems the BLACKFLIP sells good enough, because Motorola are on the way to release another strange QWERTY-packed device. The quadratic FLIPOUT is still unannounced but today's leak reveals a device with swiveling QWERTY pad that despite the smallish size, manages to pack all the needed keys plus a D-pad.

The rest of the FLIPOUT specs are rumored to be a 3 megapixel Kodak camera, a 2.8-inch touchscreen, a 700 MHz processor, 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM plus a microSD card slot. More advanced wireless connectivity options - Wi-Fi and 3G - won't be supported.

Android 2.1 enhanced with the latest MOTOBLUR UI 1.5 supporting Live Widgets will power the FLIPOUT.

All this information is based on a reliable source according to Gizmodo Brazil and Motorola FLIPOUT is expected to launch in mid-June. The rumored price for the unlocked device with pre-paid plan is 310 euro.
