weisili on Motorola Backflip review: more fashional, functional and attractive

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:56:08 -0700

The Motorola Backflip is powerful, handsome and fast. It comes with a manual keyboard and a great screen and is still only 15.3 millimeters (.6 inches) thick. They put the manual keyboard on the back side of the reverse flip. It opens like a book with the keyboard on the back being exposed at all times. The screen is also a big part of the Motorola Backflip, of course. It has a capacitive touch screen that comes in at 3.1 inches. This is an average size for a screen on a smartphone now. The physical resolution of the display is 320 by 480 or HVGA. It is not the AMOLED style. It still uses the TFT LCD style that can chew up battery time a little quicker than the AMOLED. The Backflip does come with an accelerometer to change the mode of the screen from portrait to landscape and back again automatically. This is handy for texting and for viewing web pages.

This was a complete surprise, but AT&T made it official in February and introduced the Motorola Backflip as its first Google Android device. The Backflip made its grand debut at CES 2010, where we awarded the smartphones category for its unique design, which includes a rear-facing QWERTY keyboard and a trackpad behind the display. Unfortunately, after now spending some time with the device, this seems to be the only real highlight of the phone. The Backflip suffers from performance issues and runs Android 1.5, making it a rather disappointing Android debut for AT&T. Now we have a close look for this model and find what the main characters of it are! [img]http://www.nidesoft.com/forum/motorola-converter/motorola-backflip.jpg[/img] Design The Motorola Backflip is powerful, handsome and fast. It comes with a manual keyboard and a great screen and is still only 15.3 millimeters (.6 inches) thick. They put the manual keyboard on the back side of the reverse flip. It opens like a book with the keyboard on the back being exposed at all times. The screen is also a big part of the Motorola Backflip, of course.

It is not the AMOLED style. It still uses the TFT LCD style that can chew up battery time a little quicker than the AMOLED. The Backflip does come with an accelerometer to change the mode of the screen from portrait to landscape and back again automatically. This is handy for texting and for viewing web pages. Connectives Inside the same processor as in the CLIQ runs Android 1.5 complete with Motorola’s MOTOBLUR social networking integration. There’s triband 7.2Mbps WCDMA (850/1900/2100) and quadband GSM/EDGE, along with WiFi b/g and Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Storage is via microSD, with a 2GB card in the box and up to 32GB supported. Software Similar to the Cliq and the Motorola Devour, the Backflip uses Motoblur software, which helps merge contact information from various e-mail accounts and social networking sites, including Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Exchange, Twitter, and Picasa, into a master list. In addition, e-mails (aside from Gmail) are combined into a universal in-box and appointments are also combined into one calendar. Multimedia One area that remains relatively untouched by Android 2.0 is the built-in media player. You still get support for MP3, AAC, H.263, H.264, MPEG-4, WAV, MIDI, and AAC+ etc formats and support video playback. Music quality was quite good. Thanks to the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, we plugged in our Bose On-ear Headphones and enjoyed rich-sounding songs. Unfortunately, the Motorola Backflip does not support DivX and Xvid files, but at least H.264 videos with resolution of 320x480 pixels played without any issues. But if I don’t have mp4 files, what should I do? I search this question on Google and I have good software [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/motorola-video-converter.html]Nidesoft Motorola Video Converter[/url] which could convert video and audio files between all popular formats such as convert AVI to MP4, MP3 to WAV, WMV to MPEG, MOV to AAC, etc. We could convert our files to mp4 format through using this software. Detailed process is as follows: Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Motorola Video Converter from: http://www.nidesoft.com/downlo.....verter.exe. When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it. Step 1: Click “Add File” button to import your videos from your computer.

Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time. Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which MOTO phone supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html]Nidesoft DVD Ripper[/url] could rip DVD to multimedia phones’ video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users. Camera The camera is a five megapixel model with LED flash, autofocus, geotagging and video. The Backflip can record at 25 frames per second in the MP4 (MPEG-4) format. This is nothing to write home about but is acceptable. Battery life The Backflip ships with a 1400mAh lithium-ion battery with a rated talk time of 6 hours and up to 13.5 days of standby time. We are still conducting our battery drain tests but will update this section as soon as we have final results. According to FCC radiation tests, the Backflip has a digital SAR rating of 1.37 watts per kilogram. Conclusion Although in some hardware, MOTOROLA Backfip does not calculate very prominent, but in the fuselage on modeling and the system optimization, Motorola deserves credit for trying an innovative design and for offering a unique way of moving fingers off of the touch screen. But the Android machine, how to compare common problems homogeneity let a person shine at the moment, is the most difficult problem. The manufacturers can back flip smartphone also succeeded half and the other half, still need to test by customer.

admin on Help me make Future Review even better

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:04:36 -0700

As you might know this is my first blog, it was put up about 4-5 months ago. I wanted to ask my readers what they would like me to change/add/remove, basically how can I make Future Review a better place for everyone. I don't have much knowledge in this category so that is why I am asking you. You can post you thoughts/ideas in the comment section or in the Forum. Anything would be very helpful. Thanks.

admin on Zune HD expected release date

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:01:45 -0700

The Zune family has not been in existence for long and is also Microsoft’s first attempt to combat the mighty Apple IPod which under Microsoft’s eyes is probably the jewel of jealousy. After a couple of years trying to be noticed by the public, they went a step further then their rivals to bring us a device that might just make it in peoples wish list. The ZUNE HD! OLED screen which is the same technology as Samsung’s latest model phones , Nvidia’s latest Tegra processor, and comes in two delicious flavors, 16GB and 32GB. Not bad looking at the advancements it has over its predecessor. Let’s just hope they advertise it a lot and make it appear to the public’s eyes. The fast processor (I think it can be clocked at 1 GHz), the beautiful and vibrant screen , and all the features embedded on this device might make Microsoft admit into the multimedia battle going on here, having to face companies like Samsung, Sony, SanDisk and of course Apple as the Boss might take long but at least they have a good start. From rumors the Zune HD should ship September 8th, even though it’s a rumor, the possibilities that this is true are high. The only thing I don’t know for the moment is the price, but looking at the specs, there is a possibility that it will be on the high side. But Microsoft might impress us. You never know. What do you think? Keeping it alive in the Forum!

admin on Will the Future be all about cellphones?

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:12:41 -0700

Thanks to Gizomodo, I found this video quite interesting on how cellphones will effect our future dramaticly. The future is headed to a more simpler lifestyle, where people would only need one device to do all tasks that today demand more then one gadget to accomplish. We can see how smartphones these days have become almost the most important device someone owns. We can talk to other people with them but instead of being social, they can bring a sense of freedom by being able to play movies, music, offer full HTML internet and also a high-end camera. As technology evolves and becomes smaller, expect camera sales to go down and also Mp3 players as all of those will be available on your phone. What do you think? Talk about it in the forum
