Engadget: Pop musicians have been endorsing products as long as they've existed (who could forget Beatles toothpaste, Ricky Nelson hand sanitizer, or Enrico "The Great Caruso" Caruso-brand horse polish?), but for some reason the convergence of the two never fails to amuse (and annoy) us.
So, the other day I wrote about the Motorola DEFY and how it was pretty much the best phone for the price. Well, I had the pleasure of playing around with another Motorola too. The FLIPOUT. This phone is small, light and powerful. I must admit, I didn’t fall in love with it, and I won’t be buying one myself, but for someone who is just getting in to the smart phone market, or is on a budget, this phone is pretty much one to look at.
Engadget writes: "We know you're excited -- the Nokia Twist finally has a legitimate competitor in the square-shaped pseudo-smartphone space! Motorola snuck up on us with its Flipout unveiling yesterday, so today we diligently trudged along to its local offices to get properly acquainted with this new Android handset. Running version 2.1 (Eclair) on a 600MHz processor might seem like a recipe for trouble, but it's the same Cortex A8 (TI OMAP 3410) as used in the Droid, and our time with the little quadrangle revealed it could handle itself with aplomb".
