About six months ago, I got to play with a phone from a moto employee friend that was marked a prototype that opens in reverse of a normal flip phone. It had full touchscreen and there was a sensor on back that acted like a mouse or touchpad giving much more control on the screen while using the full qwert keyboard. The phone had some killer apps with it. Bunched w a 5meg auto focus cam, I can’t wait til it out in the stores.

Am even more confused after watching the video. lets wait and see

I think this is how the “reverse flip keyboard” works:
Some older model phones has a cover for the keyboard which you need to flip it open in order to access the keyboard. Now imagine the cover is on the back of the phone, and the face of the “cover” itself is actually the keyboard keys. When you flip it open, the surface (which was facing the back) is now facing you, becomes a keyboard (your phone becomes “longer”).

What do you mean :your line of work” a Moto employee?

This post is wrong, I have personally played around with the Motus in my line of work and I can tell you how it works.

You usually hold the device like any candybar factor form device but behind your hand instead of having the back of the device you have the keyboard sitting there with the camera on the side of it (It has to be there since THAT is the back of the device). You can flip the keyboard so that it ends up under the screen which would then be in landscape (end up like the G1 or any other “slider” keyboard devices).

I have NOO idea what’s the use of having a keyboard behind your hand, if you turn the device around you can’t see the screen anymore so I really don’t get the point of it.

Very interesting concept, would be really interesting to see it on a cellphone. Would Moto be the first? Would this start a trend like the RAZR?

As you said though, it just speculation.
