Motorola FlipOut. First Look at Toy Smartphone Tweet

Mobile-review have posted a preview of the new Motorola FlipOut. Here are the phone's features and their final impression.

To tell the truth, I don't know who this device is aimed at and don't understand what it can attract with other than its toy appeal. Nor do I know who can be attracted to the SE X10 mini and mini pro or the Nokia X5 announced yesterday. Those are all toys, impulse buy models. As a phone, the Moto FlipOut is moderately convenient; due to its square shape, its plumpness and small size, the device is not that suitable to hold against one's ear, which makes talking for a long time not comfortable. In contrast to that, typing messages turns out to be quite neat.

Overall, the FlipOut makes a toy phone for those who need exactly that; as a present to one's girlfriend or kids it is an interesting model, but as a man's tool – I don't think so.
