MOTOROLA FLIPOUT with MOTOBLUR
Introducing the MOTOROLA FLIPOUT with
MOTOBLUR—an innovative phone that's as unique as

keypad with a separate number row for ease of use.
MOTOBLUR is the only service that can sync all your
friends, emails, messages, Facebook™, MySpace,
Twitter and happenings with continuous updates and
back-ups, along with the ability to remotely locate and
wipe your phone if it’s lost or stolen.
Caution: Before assembling, charging or using your
phone for the first time, please read the important
legal and safety information packaged with your
phone. Once your phone is up and running,
