It's no where close to the end of 2010 yet and the Backflip is by far ATTs worse smartphone of 2010.

They haven't removed all things google. just google search. gmail, maps, chat are all preloaded on the device. I think its funny that people are all up in arms about this when the beauty of android is that it is an open source OS allowing manufacturers/carriers to customize the phones however they want. If google search is the number one thing you want on a phone get a blackberry and download the google mobile app.
