Motorola proved the rumor mill right on Wednesday when it introduced the square-shaped, Android-based Flipout phone featuring Motorola's enhanced Motoblur overlay. The device had previously leaked online through Gizmodo Brazil , and Wednesday's announcement was pretty much what was expected.
The Flipout is running Android 2.1, will be Adobe Flash enabled and Microsoft Exchange capable. Other specs include a 2.8-inch screen with 320 x 240 resolution, QWERTY keyboard, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a 3 megapixel camera with digital zoom. For storage, the Flipout includes 512 MB of internal memory and a 2GB SD card--expandable up to 32GB.
The Flipout's enhanced Motoblur feature will sync your contacts, e-mail and social networking updates into one interface, and will also keep an online back-up of your information. No pricing details were announced.
The Flipout will launch in Europe in the coming weeks, but there's no word on a U.S. launch date. In fact, it's not clear if Motorola will launch this device in the U.S. at all.
