hello everyone it's jeff Farina with pocketnow.com and a few days ago you saw sun box the motorola flip side which is this device right here well now we're going to do is right you're going to take a in-depth look at the hardware of the device and tell you what makes this device tick and what it's made out of let's get started all right now as we said in the unbox and this is actually a mid-range android device on AT&T now in the very front of the device you're going to see the motorola logo as well as your trackpad they actually use an optical trackpad on this device which gives it a different feel different touch if you will you can actually navigate through applications by after taking your finger and swiping to the left and to the right up down etc to actually navigate using that track pad which for most people that want to use the touchscreen but if you don't want to use the actual touchscreen to navigate through this is a nice touch that you'll want to actually take advantage of now next to these we also have the typical Android capacitive buttons now as you can see we have the menu home search and back buttons unfortunately do wish there was some sort of consistency with these buttons in this case if you're used to a certain layout this is going to change things up for you completely you're also going to see the 3.1 inch capacitive display with a resolution of 320 x 480 it is a TFT type display so you're not going to get the colors the resolution or the overall vibrancy of an AMOLED or super amoled however the screened actually does look very not even over to the right side of the device we're going to see your dedicated camera button as well as your volume rocker up and down now typically the volume rockers on the left side this is definitely a new feel however you can easily get used to it moving to the top of the device we're going to have the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack as well as your power and a lock button on the left side of the device we're going to have the micro USB charging port now on top of that you probably notice is actually a little bit of a lip or a gap here and that's because this device is a sliding full qwerty keyboard the keys actually feel very similar to that of the HTC tilt there almost a rubberized feel they're very flat and they provide a great amount of feedback immediately hear the actual clicks here but they provide a great amount of feedback so you can actually tell which button it is you're pressing this keyboard does in fact light up if you are in a darker environment closing the device and moving things toward the back you're going to see the 18t logo on the battery cover you're going to have your speaker grille or speaker opening for your speaker phone as well as the sound from music sound effects games whatever it may be and you're going to have a 3.1 megapixel camera unfortunately without a flash if we go ahead and take off this battery cover question you going to see the battery first now you can get the microSD cards you can see here without taking out the battery that's a nice treat it actually has a rubber lift segment here you can actually pull this portion out and that will allow you to slide your microSD card right out now it is very nice to be able to take out that micro SD card I'll having to pull your battery out each and every time removing the battery will actually leave you with the slot for these sim cards you can see here which slides from the right to they left into the device itself you will have to remove your battery now beating at the heart of this device is a 720 megahertz processor now we did say this is a mid-range android device and that proofs so right there with that sort of spec however it does have 512 megabytes of RAM which easily makes up for the processor in most cases and 512 megabytes of RAM or onboard storage apart from that micro SD card for connectivity options you're going to have Wi-Fi B&G Bluetooth 2.1 and of course this is going to take advantage of 18 T's full spectrum edge and 3g network coming up in our next video we're going to take a further look into the software of the motorola flipside this device does use motoblur over the android 2.1 operating system so we're going to give you a tour of the motoblur skin be sure to stay tuned for that video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and as always thank you very much for watching everyone
