Sure its the only difference is the camera… and the 1ghz processor, and higher resolution screen which is oled more memory. There may be more but no its not similar other than the fact it runs android OS. Ghost it does gmail as well as any phone I have used but my corporate exchange account has to be deleted once every few days for some reason. ---

> [@pirite](#): > > anyone have the backflip from at&t? > if you do likes? dislikes? reasons to get it? reasons not to? do not have but dislikes are keyboard is exposed all the time, runs the Motoblur Android skin. This take on the Android OS eschews the standard, grid-like home screen in favor of a widget-based user interface. On the bright side, these widgets are customizable and run the gamut in terms of functionality: News, weather, search and a bevy of social networking sites are all fair game. Unfortunately, running more than a handful of these widgets simultaneously proves problematic. Not only does the Backflip’s 528-MHz processor start to get sluggish, but the on-screen presentation of simultaneously updated feeds from Facebook/Twitter/E-mail/Text/Weather/RSS is of location-aware, real-time data. It’s just too much. also it comes with android 1.5 but motorola says it will be updated to 2.1 at some point wait for the samsung galaxy it is way better [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-android-thread/75430.md?page=33) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-android-thread/75430.md?page=35)
