The weirdest mobile design this year has to go to the Motorola Motus or Backflip or Enzo, as AT&T is reported to be calling the phone. It’s a clamshell with a lengthwise spine and folds front to back so it’s unlike most folders phones do. It will run on the Android OS. It will be AT&T’s first Android phone.
The Enzo (Backflip Motus) is obviously a touchscreen and QWERTY phone. The odd part is that when you fold it (backwards) you get a smartphone with a touchscreen on one side and a QWERTY keyboard on the other. I wonder if the keyboard will work while folded.

Personally I am worried that the 528 MHz processor within this phone isn’t going to be able to match the next gen of Android powered handsets from HTC, on top of this I am also skeptical that feeling a QWERTY keyboard underneath your fingers whilst making a call is going to have any positive response from consumers.
The screen also appears to be incredibly finger print and smudge happy, and the overall look of the phone is a little bit plasticky. Couple that to the V shaped keyboard – which although is a nice change to all the samey handsets lately, has no real point to increasing user functionality and thus could be seen as a gimmick.
But we’ll have to wait and see, i’m certainly not expecting anything new in terms of OS, but the overall chassis of this thing will be something special i’m sure – possibly even innovative and inspiring to other manufacturers.
Innovation? Sure. Clouded inpiration? Definately not.
Thanks for the post
