Motorola Flipout is real, really square, and coming to Europe in Q2
We've spent much of or time lately with the largest Android phone, now let's move to one of the smallest. The Motorola Flipout (that's the square deal that made the rounds back in April) which we've seen was announced this morning and will be available in Europe and will be available in Europe in the second quarter. The Flipout brings a square form factor with a 2.8-inch screen at 320x240 pixels. It's running Android 2.1 with an "enhanced" version of Motoblur, Motorola's custom interface atop Android. In fact, it's the first Motoblur phone to run on Android 2.1.
Other specs of note: Quad-band GSM, dual-band WCDMA; Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR; aGPS; 1170mAh battery; 5-row keyboard; WiFi, 3MP camera; FM radio; a "Flash-enabled" Webkit browser; all in a package that's a little more than 2.5 inches square and is available in seven colors.
It's a form factor that's surely aimed at the kids (you reading this, KIN?), though better Exchange support is touted in the enhanced version of Motoblur, too. No word yet on pricing. Check out the hip announcement video after the break. [Motorola via AndroidOS.in]
