197756-flipout_front_180Today, Motorola officially announced their square, back-pocketable messaging device the Flipout and are using the launch to showcase the new Motoblur with a slew of video tutorials. You’ll notice a lot of different flavors in the colorful clips below, and as Moto’s press release states, “FLIPOUT’s array of colors will be country-specific and could include Licorice, Fairway Green, Raspberry Crush, Brilliant Blue, Poppy Red, Saffron or White.” (Emphasis added.)

No specific prices or release dates have been announced, except that Flipout will be available in Europe from Q2. Read the full press release here.

Sprint is the only US carrier without a Motoblur device. With the seeming low-end positioning (2.8" QVGA screen) and messaging focus of the Flipout, it could be a great device for VirgIn Mobile. Bright colors, social focus -- it fits Virgin's target market to a T. I'd pay $299 for it on their new Beyond Talk plans! Make it happen, Sprint.

This is most interesting phone I've seen in a long time. And it's barely a phone, with the emphasis on messaging. This would be a contender for a Sidekick replacement. Sadly, TMO probably can't do it.
