The Motorola Flipout exceeds on some levels, but its unique design doesn't do it any favors as a touch-screen smartphone.
Kent German
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
Motorola Flipout
The square Motorola Flipout certainly has a unique design. Though common several years ago, the swivel feature is rarely seen anymore.
The Flipout's 2.8-inch display is much too small for a smartphone.
Likewise, the tiny keys on the virtual keyboard weren't worth the trouble.
On the other hand, the physical keyboard is spacious and comfortable.
When the Flipout is closed, the volume rocker sits on its top end. When you open the phone, however, it switches to the left side.
The camera lens and self-portrait mirror sit in the Flipout's top right corner.
