Motorola Backflip (Motus/MB300)
SummaryI choose Motorola Backflip for this reasons: It's Android and it has full QWERTY hardware keyboard. I know this smartphone has reboot issue, and yes, stock Android 1.5 Cupcake it's old. Eclair 2.1 update only available for AT&T customers in US.
But luckily, I'm able to flash CyanogenMod 7.1 for this device and it's work perfectly with good performance and stability. Using overclocked kernel at 614 MHz CPU speed and great battery life (one full-day in average).
