Warning...for anyone who buys this phone regarding HISTORY TXTS PHONE CALLS, EMAILS, ETC

the phone is good, but there is one MAJOR flaw..the phone keeps a permanent history of every thing done on the phone, like calls, txts, emails, and this action is not deleteable...i checked other forums, and called moto...i can't believe this...

great phone

I don't get it. To each his/her own I guess. AT&T store says they don't like it in a review, but says they don't like the iPhone either. Seems like people want to like a phone they have dreamed up in their head. The backflip comes as close to the phone of my dreams as any other out there.

android 2.1?

The info indicates the OS is android 1.5 or 1.6 but also that it is upgradeable to 2.1?

Is that available now and if so, what is the procedure to upgrade it?

Thanks,

Pat in NH

Ring Volume

I am looking very serious at the BackFlip but want to know from those that have the phone about the ring volume. My problem I have with the phone I have now is that I can't hear it ring if it is in the other room. The i-Phone I can hear. So can anyone tell me if it rings how loud it is.

Also any comparisons good or bad with the iphone? I am also looking at it. The only thing I don't like is that you can't insure it.

Hmmm

This phone seems like a giant phail for AT&T If your going to make an android and hamper it so much just dont make it....its like handing someone a ferrari and telling them they can only go 30 mph in it...retarded, I've even heard that you cant root it...at all, I really hope that isnt true because if it is, its a giant piece compared to all the other androids out there.

Free at Walmart

The Motorola Backflip is available for FREE at Walmart with a 2-yr contract (new or renewal). At AT&T stores, it's $99 after $100 mail-in-rebate. It's a really nice phone. Full keyboard, backtrack function and camera work very well. Plenty of apps in the Android Market.

Those who qualify and participate will be paid $125 for taking part in a 45-60 minute interview, in which you'd simply share your opinions regarding your phone.

If you're interested, or know of anyone else who owns the Backflip and may be interested, email me at jlodge@focuspointeglobal.comwith a phone # and best time of day to reach you.

* In order to qualify, owners must have their Backflip phone with them during the interview. Those who do not would not be able to participate in the interview, nor be paid

How to save battery life on Android phones!! Must have app.

Download APNdroid from the market.


Android: When you're asleep, at an event, or otherwise indisposed, you don't need your battery-draining data connection, but you might still want to take phone calls. Free Android app APNdroid can selectively turn off your data access while allowing calls.

The app's design is a clever one, as activating APNdroid from its app button simply activates the on/off switch for GPRS, EDGE, and 3G networks, allowing you to use the APNdroid icon as a kind of widget on your Android screens. You obviously won't be able to surf the web or sync Google services while your data services are off, or send MMS messages. You will, however, have basic phone functionality, and your battery will probably live a bit longer...
