Re: May 11, 2010 - OS Update available
It seems that those who got the update already were the beneficiaries of a glitch in the system.
See this post at the Moto Owners forum:

Re: Have to use MotoBlur?
If you are on AT&T and get a smartphone (not just the Backflip) you will have to sign up for a data plan.
MotoBlur is an integral part of the phone's OS. Some people have botched the MotoBlur sign-up by not being in a 3G area when they initially setup the phone. This denies them access to many of the MotoBlur functions. But I don't know if if there is any way to make sure you bypass the MotoBlur setup.
The smartphone ...

Re: Alarm Clock problem?
The alarm volume is set as one of the preferences when you set up the alarm, it is separate from the ringer volume. Also if you set increasing it starts out very soft and doesn't increase very quickly.
I don;t knwo if alarms will sound if your phone is on vibrate or silent, haven't tried it
Re: turn off 3g?
The setting for choosing 2G, 3G or auto is set to auto for the backflip and can not be changed with the phone as is.
Re: Bluetooth and Voice Dial - Can these work together on this phone?
The Backflip does not support voice dial over bluetooth. This is one of the features that may be included when/if it gets Android 2.
Re: memory card
Connect your phone to your computer with the supplied USB cable.
If you don't see a pop-up box that allows you to choose USB drive or charge only open the notifications by placing your finger above the notifications bar and swiping down. Here you will see A USB symbol and if it isn't in USB drive mode it will say "Select to copy to/from your computer". Tap on text and you will get a menu where you can select USB ...
Re: Two questions on Backflip (contacts and delete messages)
Searching Contacts:
While on one of the homescreens or while in your contacts just start typing either on the virtual keyboard or the hardware keyboard. The phone will display a list of your contacts that match the text you enter.
Text Handling:
Using the standard text messaging app you can delete ALL of your conversations by pressing the menu key while on the page that lists the conversations. You can delete a single conversation by viewing that conversation and then selecting the ...

Re: Album covers on my Eternity?????
I missed you saying that you wanted to do it on the phone. If you have a usb data cable you can connect the phone in mass storage mode and use one of the programs I mentioned with the files still on your phone.
Connected in Media Player mode you may be able to use whatever program you use to manage your music to tag the files, if it supports embedding album art in the files.
Re: Album covers on my Eternity?????
The Eternity uses embedded album art. The cover image has to be included in each mp3 file.
MediaMonkey is a windows program that will not only embed the album art, it will search the internet to find the covers for you.
MP3 tag is another program for Windows that will embed the album art in your files.
I have read that iTunes will also do this, but I do not use iTunes.
For Linux there is Album Cover Art Downloader (also has windows ...
Re: Does the data cable also charge?
Yes the data cable also charges the phone.
Re: adding features
The att.com web site states that feature changes made from the site become effective immediately (I know that roadside assistance is an exception to this).
They will pro-rate the changes you make, but it may take a billing cycle for it to be completely straightened out.
Re: Forwarding Text Feature???
In conversation view you can only forward the last (most recent) message. You need to switch to standard view.
Go to your Inbox and press the menu icon in the top right corner, select standard view. Now you can select and view any message and you will be able to forward or delete them.
