Here at Clove we’re getting rather excited about the release of the Motorola FLIPOUT – one of the snazziest Android handsets that we’ve seen to date. Having now received news that the price on launch will be £199 + VAT, we’re tipping the Android 2.1 Smartphone to be a rather popular handset.

Yesterday Jon posted an initial hands-on with the FLIPOUT to give a sneak preview of what to expect from the device, due for release in September.

Here’s a recap of the main features of Motorola’s newest Android handset:

• Enhanced MOTOBLUR with more customization
• CrystalTalk Plus Noise Cancellation Technology
• Compact pivoting touch screen design
• QWERTY Keyboard with separate number row
• Multi-Touch Support
• Battery Manger
• Android 2.1 (Éclair)
