Moto FlipOut brings fresh form factor to the Android stable

Say what you want about the slew of Android devices available in the market today, a huge majority of them are rather staid and monotonous.

Be it HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson or LG, all of the Android devices from these and many other players out there look and feel roughly the same their elongated form factor and dark colours. It’s quiet sad really considering the open source nature of Android would lend itself to so many possibilities and permutations.

That’s why we like what we’re seeing with the new social media phone by Motorola. The Motorola FlipOut is a real standout among Android devices with its square-shaped, flip out QWERTY form factor that comes with a selection of fresh colours.

Its the only Android 2.1 device we can recall that’s sporting such a unique look, in fact it’s the only square phone running on Android we could remember.

Head on over the jump to read more and to see the full collection of promo videos of the Motorola FlipOut.

Running on Android 2.1 skinned with Motorola’s latest version of Motoblur (something like HTC’s Sense UI), the FlipOut sports a 2.8in 320×240 pixel QVGA display with a 3MP camera (sans flash) complete with aGPS and a digital compass.

Connectivity wise, the FlipOut runs with the best of them supporting HSPA with up to 7.2Mbps download and 2.0Mbps upload speeds. Storage comes in the form of 512MB internal memory with support for MicroSD up to 32GB. FlipOut ships with a 2GB MicroSD.

If you’re interested in geting one, sorry folks we’re all out of luck. There’s no indication of the FlipOut coming to Malaysia just yet.

But that’s not going to stop us from hoping.
