Motorola’s Flipout is the oddest looking Android handset to date, with a square touchscreen which flips out to reveal a five row QWERTY keyboard. Although it looks like the kind of social networking phone aimed at teenagers it is actually a very powerful smartphone device with a great user interface and superb range if features.

The 2.8 inch touchscreen displays Motorola’s MOTOBLUR service which can be customised with widgets to suit you and displays live updates from your friends on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter straight to your phone.

Being an Android smartphone means that the Flipout comes with a full range of Google apps including Maps, Gmail and Search and also has access to the Android Market to download a huge range of apps. The Flipout also includes a 3 megapixel camera which comes integrated with Kodak technology to capture more enhanced images, FM radio and digital compass as well as a decent web browser with Wi-Fi support.

Although it has an unusual shape which might take a bit of getting used to, the Flipout comes in an array of fab colours including Rebel Pink, Dark Sapphire, Fairway Green and Poppy Red and is sure to get people talking.

The Flipout is set to be released any time soon but if you simply can’t wait for an Android phone check out our smartphone section at www.mobilesplease.co.uk

If you love a bargain, you’ll love that Motorola have recently announced six new low end phones. There hasn’t been an awful lot of information about the phones but we think they will be released in Q3 and expect them to be very cheap!

Being affordable mobiles, don’t expect too many high end features but you can ensure that these phones will be reliable and easy to use devices for those who don’t want all the fancy features of a modern mobile phone.

Motorola WX260

The first items on the list are the super simple and small WX161 and WX181. These candy bar devices offer the usual call and messaging features as well as an FM radio and integrated flashlight.

For something basic but not completely void of features the WX290 includes a digital camera, flashlight, WAP browser, FM radio and Bluetooth to give you a few more options when using your mobile. These features also come in a clamshell form from the WX295 if this is more your style.

If the WX290 and WX295 sound like too much hassle to you then the WX260 may be perfect for you, especially if you love music. The WX260 provides up to 11 hours of music playback so you can listen to your favourite tunes while you are on the go as well as a WAP browser for basic Internet browsing. The WX260 also has a sibling in the form of the WX265; a clamshell form with added Bluetooth connectivity and expandable memory up to 2GB.

Motorola has provided a great range of affordable and easy to use devices to bring mobile phones back to basics and use them for actually phone people!

With most new mobiles offering app stores and the demand for making mobile phones fully customisable to the users needs, more and more apps are appearing and taking over the mobile world!

Currently Apple are the top dog’s with their App Store for the iPhone but Google’s Android Market store is trying it’s best to catch up with an estimated 30,000 apps.

Android fans don’t get too excited as there is still a pretty large gap of around 115,000 apps. The Android Market store has increased it’s apps from 10,000 to 30,000 in just 6 months so is expected to expand rapidly with the growth of the Android OS. Android has changed the way mobile users work and with Google selling 60,000 smartphones a day the snowball effect is sure to take off.

The brand the Motorola Milestone is one of the many phones to host the Android OS. It is a great alternative to the iPhone, N900 or Google’s recent Nexus One and is the first smartphone to host the new Google Android 2.0 OS. Similar to the Motorola Droid, the Milestone has a fantastic 3.7 inch screen – perfect for viewing web pages and a slide out QWERTY keyboard which is ideal for messaging. The Milestone is not just a business phone, for those who want to stay entertained on the move there is a decent media player and handy 3.5mm audio jack as well as expandable memory up to 32GB. If you are interested in taking great photos on your favourite device then the Milestone has a great 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, dual LED flash, image stabilizer and impressive camera software.

Super Bowl viewers got a glimpse of the Motorola Devour on Sunday night in the hands of one of the most frequently Googled hollywood stars – Megan Fox. The advert cost an estimated $2 to $3 Million Dollars but went out to around 100 million viewers and was pretty entertaining!

The Motorola Devour will be available in the next few months and with the MotoBlur OS on top of a number of high spec features it is set to be a phone a popular device. The Devour features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard under the 3.1 inch touchscreen.

The highly user friendly Motoblur changes the very look and feel of the device compared with other Motorola devices, adding live streams of information onto the home screen through a series of custom widgets. Social network status updates, e-mail, and other messaging tools are all integrated into the desktop with a unique graphical look not seen in the standard Android OS. This feature is featured in the ad (below) with Fox to entertain all those Super Bowl fans.

20 years ago brick-like phones such as the Motorola 8500x had no display and did no more than make calls. Who would have thought that mobile phones can now replace your camera, music player, organizer, TV and even your computer all in innovatively designed, pocket-sized handsets!

With smartphones dominating the market and new phone designs constantly emerging I want to look into what the future of mobile phones has in store.

It seems that mobiles that you can wear are going to be popular for the future with consumers relying on their mobile phones more frequently throughout the day. We have already seen Dyal’s sWaP phone which features a 1.3 mega pixel camera, mp3 and mp4 player and Bluetooth and have seen LG’s GD910 which supports 3G and includes video calling making it every sci-fi lover’s dream! Nokia also have some concepts of soft, bendable phones using nanotechnology, the 888 and the Morph which give the user a cool looking device that is very accessible. You can take a look at what the Nokia Morph has to offer by following this link.

If you are true Apple devotee and want the latest super cool handset from the Californian brand, the iPhone Nano looks like it will be coming soon. The Nano will be a slimmer, more basic phone that would offer EDGE network speeds but there is hope that we will see Wi-Fi N and wireless media synchronising and memory capacities ranging from 8GB to 16GB.

If you are more interested in the latest iPhone(the fantastic 3GS) then Mobilesplease has a great range of deals for you to choose from.

Motorola have literally turned rubbish by creating a phone in which the body is made out of recycled water bottles. The normally sleek, modern design seen in the Motorola RAZR V8 and ROKR E8 has been transformed into a eco-friendly fighting machine.

The Motorola W233 hasn’t got a launch date for the UK just yet so we will be keeping our eyes peeled for this handset which Motorola claims is 100 % recyclable. Its the perfect way to do your bit for the environment plus its the very first handset of its kind! The phone giants are said to be releasing a tuff phone alike to the Samsung M110 protecting against all of the elements.

If your not into eco and are looking for a high tech, gadget filled phone we would highly recommend one of Motorola’s handsets. One of the most beautiful handsets around the ROKR E8 is a super stylish, feature filled and with amazing offers such as free laptops it is a must have. The original RAZR is a classic handset and the RAZR V8 is a fantastic upgrade with dual screens and a great music player.

Whether you go down the eco or gadget route Motorola produce some great handsets and at mobilesplease you can get a really good deal!

The Motorola Razr V8 will always be hailed one of the most stylish phones plus it was one of the first fashion phones. Before the V8 hit the market mobile phones were deemed for technological uses only now they are must have accessories.
Following in the footsteps of the successful V3 handset which Motorola are famed for the V8 is the new catwalk star of the mobile phone world. The design has been vastly improved the clam shell runs the length of the handset with no buttons on the sides just a sleek  2 inch external touch screen. From here you can access the camera, send and receive text messages and browse through your music.
Inside the clam shell is a large 2.2 inch QTFT 262,000 colour screen which displays a faster and evidently better software system than the V3. Considering a better system it is even slimmer at just 11.9mm plus it has the added premium of chrome and chemically hardened glass to give it a glamorous feel.
The 2 mega pixel camera is pretty decent for such a slim phone plus also get a video player but a downside is no flash. Naturally the V8 comes with an Opera browser and email, office tools, Bluetooth and up to 2GB of memory which unfortunately can’t be expanded.
