BUENOS AIRES - Motorola (NYSE: MOT) announced Motorola FLIPOUTTM with MOTOBLURTM, a stylishly square and compact smartphone that’s as individual as its users.
Launching in Argentina during Q3 2010, FLIPOUT runs on Android™ 2.1 and features an innovative square pivot design that opens to reveal a five-row QWERTY keypad with a separate row for numeric keys. FLIPOUT features up to seven customizable home screens, live wallpapers and added security for exchange server users. It also offers enhanced MOTOBLUR making it easier to follow who and what really matters to the user and access to SHOP4APPSTM by Motorola, featuring a wide selection of applications and games optimized for use on this new Android-powered device.
“FLIPOUT merges Motorola’s design heritage with Android to deliver a new take on the typical smartphone form. In an incredibly compact square, FLIPOUT fits neatly in your palm, purse or small pocket, making it fun and easy to stay connected while on the go,” said Antonio Quintas, Motorola’s General Manager of Mobile Devices for Latin America South. “For fans of social networking, FLIPOUT also features enhancements to MOTOBLUR, allowing users to connect with their networks however they want.”
FLIPOUT’s array of colors will be Dark Sapphire, Raspberry Crush and Safrron in Argentina.
Enhanced MOTOBLUR
MOTOBLUR is Motorola’s exclusive Android experience that syncs contacts, posts, messages, photos and much more - from sources such as Facebook®, MySpace, Twitter™, Gmail™, work and personal e-mail, and Last.fm - and automatically delivers them to the home screen. MOTOBLUR automatically backs up contacts, log-in information, home screen customizations, e-mail and social network messages to a secure server and provides remote data wipe for lost or stolen devices. One username and password restores contacts, messages and connectivity to prior networks and email providers.
FLIPOUT offers enhanced MOTOBLUR functionality and features, including:
· Happenings and Messages widgets – filter by social networking account, by contact(s) or by contact group to only see the information you want
· Screen customization – move and resize preloaded widgets on up to seven home screens
