"No more accusations that we don't have enough Android phones in our lineup". That's what AT&T was thinking when today it announced a significant expansion of its Android-blessed portfolio. It introduced three new smartphones - the Motorola BRAVO, Motorola FLIPOUT and Motorola FLIPSIDE. All three have Android 2.1 and the latest version of MOTOBLUR, Motorola’s proprietary Android UI overlay. The handsets sport Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS , FM Radio, and a 2GB microSD card thrown in by Motorola for good measure.
Motorola FLIPOUT is the square device we all know and love, with "innovative" pivoting 2.8" touchscreen, and a 3MP camera with fixed focus. It sports a full QWERTY keyboard below the touch screen, with a dedicated number row. Two battery covers are included in the box - Dark Sapphire and Saffron, while more colors can be purchased separately. Motorola FLIPOUT will be available for $79.99 with a two-year smartphone data plan on October 17 in AT&T stores and online.

Motorola BRAVO is the multimedia powerhouse here, with an 800 MHz TI OMAP3 processor, and a 3.7" 480x854 pixels FWVGA screen. There is also a 3MP camera with digital zoom and auto focus, plus one-touch social media uploads. The Motorola BRAVO has DLNA for streaming content over Wi-Fi to enabled devices. Motorola BRAVO will be available for $129.99 with a two-year smartphone data plan in AT&T stores and online, in time for the holidays.
Motorola FLIPSIDE has a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3.1" display with 320x480 pixels of HVGA resolution, a 3MP camera, and a trackpad under the capacitive touchscreen as an additional navigation option. There is push support for Microsoft® Exchange email, unified inbox, and corporate-grade security like remote wipe and password ID. The Motorola FLIPSIDE will be available for $99.99 with a two-year smartphone data plan in AT&T stores and online, again in time for the holidays.
