If you have been watching TV for any reason at all, you are probably seeing all of the commercials for the Motorola Backflip. This is a phone that not only have I been wanting, but one that I think is pretty cool as well. Now though – it is actually going to be hitting Germany, which is fantastic!

The Motorola Backflip is actually an Android-powered phone that is actually available via Amazon.com, which is something that you do not see every single day. The Motorola Backflip features A-GPS, 3G, 5mpx camera, Bluetooth, 3.1-inch touch screen and a microSD expansion slot.

This phone is definitely a fantastic alternative to the iPhone and I have to say – it’s awesome looking too!

LG L-06A and L-04A Phones: They Rock!

Heather — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 18:02:30 +0000

So let’s talk about LG – I know that we just did a blog about some phones that this particular company was doing, but they are one hot company right now. Currently, they are coming out with a couple new phones that are geared toward Japan, however they could sneak over to the states if you really wanted one. The LG L-06A and L-04A phones are two phones that I think everyone will really like – they are touchscreen after all!

These phones feature: swiveling touch panel, a 5.1MP camera, a MicroSD external memory, and HSUPA(High Speed Uplink Packet Access) service. The “G” button on the keypad provides users a one-touch connection to Google’s business directory.

Another cool thing about the LG L-06A and L-04A is the colors! Red, pink, white, black – every color you can think about pretty much! Very cool!
