Motorola Flipout Software Tour

2010-10-23
hey everyone Daniel Webster here for packing.com and this is a software tour of the Motorola flip-out MB 511 on ATS network so the first thing you'll notice is that this devices course is running Android 2.1 like I said in the previous videos and we have a motoblur user interface and a lot of people either like it or they don't like it so it's dependent upon your own personal choice I find that it's kind of integrated into a lot of social networking so it makes it pretty easy to update your status and get other information so if I wanted to all I have to do is click down here on my little picture and I can either update my status directly to it Facebook or Twitter and I can also do it to all services so I can just go home and if I go into the applications here I'll have to do is hit the home button or I can hit this is your a circle right here click that and I can view all of my programs so I can check in to my motoblur account and view all my settings and stuff I can get alarmed timer so that's just a simple alarm on this device I can get AT&T family map which allows you to locate any device on your family plan I just cost either $9.99 or $14.99 and we've seen that before so we can also view AT&T Maps which is integrated into the AT&T navigation service it does cost money per month I think it's about ten bucks a month or something like that but with the Android 2.1 you wouldn't really need that if you're out venturing because you already have the Google Navigation program on this device and you can also of course download third-party navigation applications from the market so we'll just go back we have AT&T Navigator which is kind of like the AT&T map so that we just saw they're able to speak to you the streets and intersections and where you're going in turn-by-turn directions stuff like that AT&T radio which does cost a nominal fee per month depending on which channels I think you have let's see we can also go to our FM tuner and view radio stations on the FM radio so that's great that this device has an FM radio built into it but you will need to have a set of headphones plugged into the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack in order for it to use the FM radio because it's using the wire of the headset to convert into an antenna so there's okay we'll go back and we can get AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots which is great if you don't have an unlimited data plan which a lot of people don't know it is because AT&T has changed their data plans to a Tier two plan so community to search by venue service types and zip code or city and state so it works great if you're out at a coffee shop or like McDonald's or something because all of those establishments have the AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots we can go to our browser which is just the basic Android browser and we can just go back unfortunately this doesn't have flash on it yet because this is the only 2.1 version not the Froyo we have our calculator calendar camcorder camera the camera works pretty decently and it's 3.1 megapixels and the camcorder is rather mediocre contacts easy to search through our contacts just like the basic Android contact list and go into our dialer unfortunately this device doesn't have a speed dial in the sense that if you start typing a word or a contact name or number it doesn't automatically come up which is one of the downfalls in Android and also in Apple so we can go back and go to email if you had that set up file manager which is pretty great if you want to check the files on your device to work with the quick office so we can either search the memory card or recent documents just go back into our gallery I don't think there's any photos on here right now so fortunately that's not going to work you go to happenings which is integrated either into Twitter or any other contact a social network out there we go back Help Center I am we have Google Maps the Android Market messaging mobile banking but it only has a few banks on there mobile video mobile TV which is a pay for service that we've seen before music which is the music player if I had any music saved to the SD card you can see it here and it'll show you album art and all that great stuff news Pandora phone portal which is actually kind of cool because it allows you to share files and pictures and media over a Wi-Fi connection so if you haven't this install on your computer all you have to do is turn on the phone portal and share your media so we go back quick office which we've seen before settings Google Talk text messaging voice tile and so we're it gives you all these points of interest around your area that you can find let's say that I wanted to search for gas names click here and choose my grade of gas will choose 87 and hit select we'll just wait for it to load and it will show me the price per gallon and the proximity to my location so just go back and wipey mobile which is just Yellowpages mobile and this is partnered with AT&T so of course it's going to be installed as bloatware on their devices so this has been the software tour of the Motorola flip-out MB 511 which is running up on a tMT's network if you like our videos make sure you give us a thumbs up and also leave some comments down below we'd like to hear it you're saying and thanks for watching
