User Rating4.54/520 of the best Backflip Apps… Now that AT&T has joined the Android revolution, the first question new Android users will ask is “what Android apps should I download”? Luckily we’ve created a simple guide to get you started:
First we’ll start with the operating system version of the Motorola Backflip at launch, which is version 1.5… 
the latest and greatest to date is 2.1 (with majority of users on 1.6). This may affect your ability to download some apps as they are compatible with higher versions of the OS. Why is the OS version so out of date? Motoblur… Motorola tricked out the software for social networking ease however they have not released Motoblur on the latest and greatest Android OS. Don’t fret an update is coming soon.
Now that we’re over the OS hump, we’ll recommend some of the best Android apps for your Motorola Backflip… many for free!

Is there an app for the backflip that recognizes chinese characters if you write them on the screen with a stylus pen
thanks
The only thing close I’ve seen was a prototype by Nuance which recognize Chinese characters with finger handwriting input. Will take a look and see what’s in the Market.
thanks UWE, will take a look, these apps all look pretty cool, but is the backflip the only droid option i have for at&t??????
i got the motorola backflip and a fun game i found to download is tapout …. hotel mogul lite is free and fun time management game its just like the one on bigfishgames.com got my kids with the tazzer app that was fun for one time use lol super froggy is another fun game you can get him across the road like the old game i even got a flashlight one on my phone that has come in handy before….Dream dictionary is kinda cool ….but my favorite of all time is prankdial …. I have had so much fun with that one and you will to try it fun to get your friends when you are around them to see there reaction many choices of pranks to use but you only get 3 to start and 2 every 24 hours…. have fun all and enjoy your droid i know i do
Great apps. Also a must is to pick up the call block list. Just put on anyones number and it sends them into voicemail. The app of the year I think.
LiveProfile App Should Be On Motorola Backflip
