http://www.netbooknews.com The Flipout swings open using a solid-feeling corner hinge to reveal a well-designed, bumpy, and properly clicky QWERTY keyboard. This is a weird design, but it's relatively intuitive and fun, not a misfire like the Motorola Backflip's bizarre reverse-flip setup. The phone has a 3.1-megapixel camera on the back that also records 352-by-288 videos; the camera is available with the flip open or closed. Other specs here include HSDPA 3.6 and Wi-Fi for networking, 128MB of available internal user memory with a 2GB MicroSD memory card included, GPS, a compass, Bluetooth, and interchangeable color covers. 600 Mhz TI OMAP3410 ARM Cortex-A8 processor with a PowerVR SGX GPU zipped right along.
The Defy was announced a few weeks ago, but this is the first time I've gotten my hands on it. The Defy is another touch-screen-only phone, but it has a higher resolution, 3.7-inch screen and a mysterious coating on it that makes it water and scratch resistant. The virtual keyboard was definitely easier to type on.
Flipside has a 3.1-inch HVGA touchscreen, a trackpad for navigation, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The Flipside manages messages with an enhanced Motoblur version that featurs new filtering and customization options. The Flipside has a smaller touch screen, but a keyboard very similar to the Motorola Cliq's; it actually felt quite a lot like an update of the Cliq.
