Motorola, Inc. Motorola India Private Limited, today announced two new Android-powered smartphones in India, MILESTONE XT720, one of the world’s slimmest 8 Megapixel Android smartphone and one of the first to come powered with a high definition video and a Xenon Flash in India, and BACKFLIP with BACKTRACK, the world’s first reverse-flip design handset.

MILESTONE XT720 is a 10.9mm, capacitive touch Android 2.1-powered smartphone that also features a high definition (HD) video. BACKFLIP with BACKTRACK reverse-flip design makes it easier to enjoy videos, music and photos while churning through emails, texts, news feeds, social network messages. It comes with a friction hinge that allows the QWERTY keyboard to flip underneath for working in tabletop mode. It automatically locks in this position to ensure no accidental pressing of the keyboard.

The new smartphones MILESTONE XT720 and BACKFLIP come preloaded with lifetime free access
to fully voice-guided street-level navigable MapmyIndia maps of 401 cities3 in India. This offers voice-guided navigation and routing in the cities and across major national and state highways. With this, the Indian consumer can drive to 400,000 towns and villages and explore over one million points of interest like budget/premium hotels, petrol pumps, eating joints, ATMs, hospitals as well as tourist and religious spots. What the consumer needs to do is to launch ‘India’ maps from the MOTONAV application to enjoy a fantastic navigation experience. The GPS navigation service is free with no activation or data charges, independent of mobile networks and can be used without inserting the SIM card, as the maps are fully loaded on the MILESTONE XT720 3 and BACKFLIP 3.
