With Motorola BACKFLIP hitting the market, AT&T breaks its record and plunges into the market with its first Android device. The highlight of the model as the name indicates is a MOTOBLUR skin with a full QWERTY keyboard.
The Motorola BACKFLIP is indeed a standard Android phone with a QWERTY keyboard on its back. Its features include 528MHz CPU, HVGA touchscreen, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM and a 5MP camera. The phone has a connectivity of 7.2Mbps HSDPA (and quad-band GSM/EDGE of course), WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.
This is just an example. AT&T is all set to get other Android devices beside the Motorola BLUR. The next to emerge is a Dell Phone, probably the Dell Mini 3iX and HTC phones(s).
The Motorola BACKFLIP is priced at 349 US dollars with no contract or 99 dollars after a 100 dollar mail-in rebate on a 2-year 30 dollar a month contract.

The G1305, more curiously known as the Codfish is all set to hit the market very soon. The model is packed with features like 5 megapixel camera, 3.2” touchscreen and Android 1.6. However the pricing is still not available.
The other rumored GSmart handset of Gigabyte seems like it will be a little brother with features like 2.8” QVGA display, a 2 megapixel camera, and no 3G. it is also expected that the model will be under the supposed 200 WUR price point and that being said, the Codfish can be expected to be a bit costlier.
If both the sets are launched in tandem then the G1305 can be seen as soon as the end of the month.
Given the history with unrelated hardware, like motherboards and PCs, the entry of Gigabyte into the market is interesting. But it’s a transition that Acer seems to have comfortably made.

In a recent act, Swype is all set to make its interesting touchscreen keyboard available to select Android users in a limited beta.
Swype was created by the guys who invented T9 and it’s trying to be a new way for text input on touchscreen displays. Under this, instead of clicking on letters an individual can swipe his fingers in a continuous motion over the letter he wants.
Whatever an individual tries to write is quickly recognized by the software, even if he misspells it. If preferred traditional tapping method can also be used.
The company’s business model was originally licensing the technology to vendors, but the leaked versions have hit Android and it’s clear that there is some interest from the consumers as well. An individual can now sign up for beta and try it out for himself. beta wont be having full features as the other one coming from an integrated handset maker but there will be limited customer support. An individual will be able to use it only if he has devices with HVGA and WVGA resolutions.
