Motorola looks set to bring Motoblur to the latest generation of devices starting with the all new Motorola Flipout.  The Flipout looks like a modern smartphone take on the Motorola v70  ( Twist), bundling a 5 Row qwerty keyboard and full twisting, rotational interface.  The phone’s key feature is its compact size and very cool rotatable keyboard, which makes it both pocket and handbag friendly.

It comes with all the standard features we have come to know and love in android phones, such as gps, gravity sensor and compass .  In addition, it also comes with a built in FM Radio receiver and a second noise cancelling microphone for improved call clarity ( Just like the Nexus One).  Reading through the techlist, it also indicates that it will be “music enabled” which could indicate that Moto is bundling an own branded spotify or Thumbplay service which is handy that it is rocking a standard headphone socket.

Coming in choice of 5 colours, coupled with inbuilt facebook and android integration, I think this could be a winner with the younger market segment.

Release date is still to be confirmed, but hopefully it won’t be long now.

On the software front, the phone will be rocking the latest version of the Motoblur customization labelled 1.5 which is built on top of the awesome Android 2.1 Release. This means that Flipout owners will be able to take advantage of all the latest and greatest apps on the market, right from launch.

Additions to the Motoblur feature list include:

• Customization options for Happenings and Messages widgets with the option to filter updates and messages
• MOTOBLUR pre-loaded widgets can be moved and resized over seven home screen panels
• Re-tweet capabilities on Twitter
• Personal and corporate email pushed to the device
• Battery Manager helps users manage FLIPOUT’s power consumption
• Multitouch interface
• MOTOBLUR™ widget calendar – sync corporate calendar, email, and contact list.
• ADVANCED SPEECH RECOGNITION
