Are you excited about the Motorola Backflip?

I'm eh about it myself, but even if I didn't already own a high-end Android phone, I'd be iffy about an AT&T-burdened Backflip because:

It's filled to the brim with pre-loaded AT&T stuff: AllSport GPS, AT&T Maps, AT&T Music (which takes the place of the standard Music app), AT&T Navigator, AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspots, Mobile Banking, MobiTV, MusicID, Where, and YPmobile.

Yahoo has replaced Google as the default search provider throughout the phone. It's crazy: the home screen widget, the browser, everything's been programmed to use Yahoo. We love us some irony, but golly, we'd prefer Google searches most of the time.

I mean, when was the last time you used Yahoo to search anything? And all the bloatware sounds sucky as hell.
