Have had the Flipside for two years now... and just to let the author know, the version of Android listed in the article needs to be updated to Android 2.2 (Froyo). See here for details:

Understand when I tell you this phone is a piece of crap. It freezes, the memory sucks, and the battery power is terrible. If your looking for a good phone I suggest the Samsung captivate glide that is what i have now and its the best phone I ever had.

This phone is kinda cool doe, I am kind of qwerty physical keyboard person, but if you don't have enough memory it sucks. The UI MOTOBLUR sucks battery,slows the phone down,lags and causes freezes. I admire but sometimes it's a pain. I want to root it to rid the bloatware but wouldn't even bother because I am going to get a Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro and selling it.

this phone sucks, not enough memory to load more than a couple programs, keeps freezing up requiring a master reset. Worst phone I have ever owned, I am going back to a BlackBerry.

run far from this phone!!!!!! do not purchase. i regret buying this phone. camera is shitty. my past bb storm camera is better than this. memory is another shitty feature of this phone. constant out of memory errors with this phone. even with 2.2.2 installed, not worth it. shitty, shitty phone... i have like 3 apps installed- less than 4 mb for 1 and the other 2 about 2 mb and it says i have 32 mb free... and dont talk about bloatware from at&t, rooted and deleted all the bloatware and it still didnt release any memory.
please for your sanity, do not buy this phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite using relatively high-end devices like Cliq 2 / Milestone 2 / XPRT, I still decided to get this phone (free with contract renewal) even though the phone seems a bit old by now.

I got the phone unlocked and upgraded to Android 2.2, the latter really helps as I can move most of the apps to the micro-SD card. (got a 16G one for around US$20!),

I am also using other qwerty Moto phones like Milestone 1 & 2, Cliq 1 & 2, and XT300. the keys on the Flipside indeed are among the largest, which makes typing easy.

No chance to measure battery life under 3G operation, as I took the phone overseas which only works on 2G network, and I haven't charged the phone for 2 days already. (vs. daily on most of my other Android phones running on 3G)

Hence I actually use my Flipside more as a "phone" then Android, due to its relatively compact size.

For Chinese handwriting input, there is an app call touchpal keyboard on market.
