Recently Motorola announced the Quench XT3 and now the company has launched the new uniquely designed phone in the Indian Market, this particular device is called the Motorola FLIPOUT. For us, the launch not only shows Motorola’s interest in the Indian market, but it also helps me feel a vast Android presence in India.

The Motorola FLIPOUT has a stylish square shaped design, it comes with Android 2.1 and there are no traces of MotoBlur. It features an innovative square pivot design which opens to reveal the five-row QWERTY keypad with a square row for numeric keys. Like every other Android phone you have up to seven customizable home screens and the FLIPOUT comes with added security for exchange server users.

Now, the phone is obviously targeted towards the younger crowd, especially girls but for unknown reasons I love this phones form factor and it is definitely a device I want to befriend. It also has CrystalTalk™ PLUS for improved call quality.
