Motorola Backflip now available for AT&T and it's crippled 

Well it seems like every cell phone carrier has a Google Android based phone, as AT&T is just now joining the Google Android bandwagon with the Motorola Backflip. But unlike other Google Android phones from Motorola such as the Motorola Cliq the Motorola Backflip is going to be crippled by AT&T.  The Motorola Backflip will not allow customers to install applications from unknown sources out side of the Android Market place. This will protect users from installing harmful programs, but it will also keep users from installing beta apps such as Swype.  By doing this Android Developers will not be able to load and test their apps to the Android Market prior to releasing a full version.  The Motorola Backflip will come with Android version 1.5 with Motoblur. The handset will also have Yahoo search instead of Google’s own search engine. And users will not be able to remove AT&T’s own pre installed applications on the device. With AT&T's own applications on the device this will most likely slow down the handset. During an interview with Engadget this is what Ralph de la Vega CEO of AT&T Mobility had to say about the Google Android platform:

“We like the Android as an operating system on its own, but we want to make sure that we have, and customers have the option, to put applications on that device that are not just Google applications. And we want to give customers the choice of other applications on that device, not just the same Google applications.”



Well I feel sorry for AT&T customers wanting to buy an Android phone, because I would not be happy with this handset if I were to buy it.  So tell me what you think about all of this are you still thinking about buying the Motorola Backflip?

Well for those of you who are AT&T subscribers have something to look forward to.  A version of the Nexus One has gone through the FCC with AT&T’s HSPA 7.2 Bands (2100/1900/850 MHZ frequencies) so it seems like theirs a version of the Nexus One that is going to run on AT&T’s 3G network. The ID for this version is ID NM899110 the version of the Nexus One that run’s on T-Mobile's Network is ID NM8999100 in the FCC filings. So if your looking for a good Google Android phone the Nexus One would be a good one to get, just hope that AT&T's network can handle having the iPhone & the Nexus One on it.
