MOTOBLUR offers AT&T customers a new way to connect to their favorite people, content and applications, whether it's work or personal email, messaging or social networking. Motorola's exclusive AndroidTM experience syncs contacts, posts, messages, photos and much more - from sources such as Facebook®, MySpace, Twitter®, GmailTM, Picasa, work and personal e-mail, and Last.fm - and automatically delivers them to live widgets for immediate reply, right from the home screen. And, for customers who prefer multi-tasking, AT&T's 3G network offers the added advantage of talking and surfing the Web and accessing applications at the same time. BACKFLIP features a unique form-factor with an original reverse flip design, spacious keyboard and BACKTRACKTM touch panel, allowing the display to be hands-free while one's fingers work behind the screen. BACKFLIP runs on the nation's fastest 3G network and is powered by MOTOBLURTM, Motorola's Android-powered content delivery service created to make phones more personal and socially smart. Customers can see photos and learn more at www.att.com/backflip.

Users can flip through messages and updates on the BACKFLIP and respond in a flash, without having to log in and out of applications. MOTOBLUR helps consumers keep a pulse on what's happening on their social and news networks. Only MOTOBLUR can sync Facebook, MySpace and Twitter with phone book and email contacts, while threading status updates and profile pics through calls, messages and address book. From the home screen, consumers can update their status to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter at once.
