One of the most unique things about the Motorola Backflip is a feature called Backtrack. Essentially, it's just a trackpad but it's located behind the display. When the phone is open, you can use the Backtrack to navigate through menus, scroll through home screens, flip through photos, etc. The idea is that without having to use the touch screen, you get an unobstructed view of Web pages, e-mails, news feeds, and the like. Though it works just as advertised, we found it quite awkward ergonomically but maybe we just need more time to get used to it?
