Nothing is official yet, but it seems everyone is pointing towards a March 7 release date for Motorola's Backflip with AT&T, which would be the phone carrier's first Google Android OS-based smartphone.

According to Bright Hand, Android-run (version 1.5?) smartphone will start selling at $324, and it's not clear whether that's before or after a contract deal, etc.

The phone gets its moniker from the unusual design, as the phone features a reverse-flip keyboard, thus the Backflip. Along with the funky keyboard, here's some of the specs to consider:

  • 3.1-inch HVGA touchpanel screen
  • Mobile broadband
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth
  • GPS
  • microSD memory card slot
  • 5-megapixel camera
  • 3.5mm headset jack
  • Motorola Blur software

You'd think after CES that there would be some more concrete details, but the rumor mill only continues to turn.
