While Flipout features an innovative square pivot design that slides to reveal a five-row QWERTY keypad with a separate row for numeric keys, Charm's touch panel on the reverse of the phone allows users to smoothly navigate, scroll and make selections without obstructing the display screen with their fingers.
“Flipout and Charm merge Motorola’s design heritage with Android capabilities to deliver a new take on the typical smartphone form factor,” said Robert van Tilburg, regional sales director for Motorola Mobility South Asia.
He said that both smartphones make it easy for consumers to flick, tap and scroll through menus, apps and web pages, with the added convenience of both keypad and touch screen options.
The phones allow up to eight browser windows open at once, with easy switching between windows and the ability to continue with other tasks while the browsers run in the background.
Pre-loaded applications are synced to popular social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace. The phones also come with seven homescreen panels, to enable personalised live wallpapers, customisable widgets of live content.
For music fans, the devices are connected to a media player and offer full screen lyric support and integrated song ID. Album artwork is also synchronised instantly as a song is being played. Song recommendations can also be shared with friends via SMS.
Flipout and Charm retail at SG$469 and SG$499 respectively at The Handphone Shop, StarHub and M1. More information is available on Motorola.com/sg.
