The Motorola FLIPOUT is nearing unlocked availability in the UK courtesy of retailers Play.com and and Clove. Play’s offering the device August 11th for 249 British pounds while Clove – who hasn’t announced a date for their release yet – will have it for 258 pounds.

The device is not yet available subsidized through UK carriers so you’ll need to be OK with spending a large chunk of money for the device upfront if you truly want it. The Motorola FlipOut ships with Android 2.1 and the latest version of MOTOBLUR and includes a “flip-out” QWERTY keypad – perfect for trendy teens that need to text and wants to have a device that does something “cool”.
