At a press event at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Motorola lifted the wraps and debuted their new wireless handset, the Backflip, which has both a touch-screen and keypad similar to the popular Droid handset that went on sale at Verizon Communications Inc. in November.
The difference on this device from the Droid is that the Backflip has its keypad in the back, which folds out rather than sliding out.
The smart phone also features the Motorola’s, MotoBlur software, a platform that is designed to integrate social networking and other communications features easily for the user. MotoBlur is featured on the Cliq but not on the Droid.
Motorola’s co-CEO, Sanjay Jha who leads the handset business, said the company plans to launch the device in the first quarter of this year, but could not give a specific launch date, carrier partner or price on the device.
AT&T had press conference earlier in the day, and said it planned to launch new Android phones this year, and had a picture of the Backflip.
