hey guys it's brandon minimun from pocket now calm and this is the unboxing of the motorola backflip this is a tease first android phone finally it has a really interesting form factor it's got a keyboard that actually starts on the other side of the device it also doubles as a sort of trackpad so we want to talk about that in a future video but let's get to the unboxing and compare it to some other devices okay so here we are very small nice little box and says please don't text and drive let's look at the back and see what they say in terms of specs this android of course version 1.5 not 2.1 which is the latest obviously has Wi-Fi and UMTS can expand up to 32 gigabytes with the memory slot it's got a three point one inch hvga screen so that's the same as the iphone 4 80 down and 320 across okay let's uh let's take a look at the moto backflip pretty interesting box here kind of unusual so this kind of will goes this way have a quick start guide in color that talks about some of the keys on the keyboard pretty cool have to take a look at that later here's the device will pull that aside for a minute let's see what AT&T has included in the box the standard charger which hooks up to the USB port there we have a jack which is probably microUSB nice to see we have I have no idea what this is seems to be some sort of alternative backing for the device will have to look at that later and finally a battery which is of size thirteen hundred and eighty milliamp hours and we have some other information on the bottom of the box so let's push this all side and take a look at the back flip so don't text and drive eighteen t wants you to not do that which makes a lot of sense it's pretty dangerous so here we are pretty small device on the front a 3.1 inch screen the iphone of course is 3.2 inches the touch pro two is three point six inches we have three buttons down here pretty smooth flush front of the device pretty nice on the back here we have the keyboard it's very uncommon to see the keyboard actually on the back of the device and this is why they called the backflip because it comes forward like this and then you type from here apparently also this area doubles as a touch pad so that you can actually operate the device I think this is how supposed to work from the back we'll talk about that later let's compare the backflip to some other devices here we have it next to the HTC touch pro2 let's compare the keyboards very very different style keyboards the keyboard on the back flip is a lot more kind of flat and the letters aren't aligned in a staggered design as you'll find on the touch pro two more very more so grid-like we also have the camera embedded within the keyboard that is extremely unusual and it looks like there's a little flash there let's take a look at it next to the palm pre plus on verizon very very different keyboard designs next to another Android device the google nexus one which has a significantly larger screen and of course it doesn't have a keyboard it's also a lot thinner than the then the backflip the backflip is quite thick i must say feels quite thick in hand and next to the iphone also has a much smaller screen and is thicker the motorola backflip has the motoblur interface that rests on top of android so it's really targeted to be well integrated with social network so i'm going to talk a lot about that interface coming up in future videos so that'll do it for the unboxing of the motorola backflip we've got a lot more to say about this device we're going to talk about the software more about the hardware the sort of touchpad on the back and really the experience that this device brings as the first Android device on AT&T will be back soon with more that's it for now
