Motorola Backflip: AT&T’s First Android Phone

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Here’s one of the new phones that was announced at CES. It’s the Motorola Backflip($TBA; Q1 2010) will be the first Android phone released on AT&T. One of the things that sets this apart is it’s sporting a unique reverse flip design and the MOTOBLUR content delivery service. The design lets the screen slide up for access to a hardware keyboard, or flip around to act as a video viewing stand. Features like a 3.1-inch touch screen, 5 megapixel camera, a GPS, and Bluetooth round out the experience.

Did anyone else catch my name on the promo shot? So what if it’s a girls last name….

Verizon Wireless cutting plan prices?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

New plans on the horizon for Verizon. Get it? Man I’m hilarious…

Anyway, there’s been a lot of buzz today about Big Red cutting their plan prices. This is something that would put them a little more in line with other carries and their unlimited plans. Boy Genius Report broke the story/rumor today highlighting a 30% drop in pricing on the unlimited minutes options for some of the plans. Another big change is the data plans where among the changes they now have $29.99 unlimited data. (that’s included in the Sprint plans) I guess there gearing up for more Android phones like the Nexus One.

The pictures after the break highlight the new plans and compare them to other carriers. It still looks like Sprint has the best pricing. How does this effect you? Read More

AT&T finally gets in the Android game

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

It’s been a big week for Android with the release of the new Nexus One and it just got a lot more interesting. AT&T announced that it’s launching five new Android devices in the first half of 2010. They will be devices from Motorola, Dell and HTC. They say the Motorola phone is exclusive to them so that counts out Droid so it could be the new Backflip and Dell announced that the Mini 3 is coming to AT&T so we know that one. So that leaves HTC. Could they be some of the devices we saw in their leaked road map? AT&T says they’ll have an “exclusive” device so I’m curious if it really will be or if it will just be something re-shelled like the Hero on Sprint.

So lets hear it AT&T peeps. What do you think?

Check out the full press release after the break.

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

340x_lgexpo

“Chubbs”, “Fatty Ass”, “Fugly” — call it what you want, but the LG Expo ($200) is a smartphone with an appendage a secret: a $180 DLP pico projector that straps to its back. Apart from the optional rear monstrosity, which can display big-sceen size images from up to 8 feet away, the Expo pretty packed with good stuff, it’s the first US phone with a 1GHz processor, a 3.2-inch touchscreen, a 5 megapixel camera with flash, a slide-out keyboard, 7.2 Mbps HSPA wireless, microSD storage, and Windows Mobile 6.5.

Check out more pictures and the full press release after the break. Read More
