Motorola Charm

The Motorola Charm is one of the few candy bar QWERTY Android phones out there, and sports a 2.8-inch Gorilla Glass screen with a 320x240 pixel resolution. That resolution is not something to be too proud of, though most phones of this type (QWERTY candy bar, like the E72) have it...it's just not something you expect from an Android phone - and the ordinarily super smooth looking operating system gains some unwanted and unsightly text pixellation in this case. The phone's four-line QWERTY keyboard is great, with well-bevelled keys that provide good tactile feedback, and are large enough not to trouble the thickest fingers. An extra-wide layout that has alternate keys marked with lime green, it features delete and return keys to one side, above four arrow keys - which are useful extras. Also useful additions are the dedicated mail, camera, and search keys between the spacebar and the ALT key. The rest of the phone is well-built as well, with Motorola's unique BackTrack touchpad on the back of the phone, beside the 3.15MP camera lens. The back panel feature the MotoBlur logo at the centre (not present in the above pictures), with the phone's loudspeaker a slit at the bottom, showing off a lime green grille below.

Motorola Charm

The Motorola Charm brings Android power to budget-minded buyers for a low up-front price: just $49.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates. It's an interesting, touch-enabled alternative to a BlackBerry Curve, and a more compact phone than many Android-powered touch screen slabs. But the Charm is far from the most exciting Android phone we've tested. It has several significant flaws that, when taken together, suggest most consumers should stay away. The Motorola Charm has a curious design. Unlike most slab QWERTY smartphones, this one is almost square, with the exception of its rounded edges. The Charm measures 3.9 by 2.7 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.9 ounces. It's nicely put together, with a mixture of high quality plastics and soft-touch surfaces. Typing on the prominently raised QWERTY keyboard was comfortable and quick, if a little noisy. The 2.8-inch glass capacitive touch screen has a highly troubling 240-by-320 resolution. This is a big problem because most Android apps and many display elements are designed for screens that are at least 320 pixels high.

Motorola Charm

If you think all Android phones come with big beautiful touch screens, think again. The Motorola Charm is a decidedly different take on the Android smartphone, with a square touch-screen design like that of the Motorola Flipout, except that it doesn't twist open. The Charm is also only the second phone to have a Backtrack sensor after the Motorola Backflip. Though the Backtrack works as advertised, we didn't think it was necessary, and though we like that Motorola refined its MotoBlur interface, we thought it still overcrowded the Charm's small display. That said, the Charm does have the Android 2.1 operating system, a 3.0-megapixel camera with Kodak Perfect Touch technology, a full HTML browser with Flash Lite, and it supports Wi-Fi in addition to T-Mobile's 3G network. More importantly, it's only $74.99 with a two-year contract, making it one of the most affordable Android phones out there. You would be forgiven if you thought the Motorola Charm was just another messaging phone or a simple BlackBerry clone. Its squared-off design gives that impression, not to mention its small display and the full QWERTY keyboard right underneath.

Motorola Charm

When you name a phone "Charm," it sure as heck better work like one. In the case of Motorola's latest Android phone, the name's promise is not fulfilled. The form factor, with a BlackBerry-like look and a good physical QWERTY keyboard, has potential because no other Android phone in the U.S. looks quite like it. But the Charm's unforgivably low-resolution screen and sluggish performance make it feel dated compared to other Android offerings from T-Mobile.The Motorola Charm is an attractive little device that resembles a BlackBerry--or a Peek--with a portrait screen up top and a physical keyboard below. It's a design that many business-minded folks like because it looks professional and emphasizes quick messaging. It feels solid in the hand, and the plastic components don't feel cheap.With the body measuring 3.9 x 2.7 x 0.5 inches, the Charm's height is smaller than other Android phones, but it's a little thick. It also feels slightly heavy for a small phone, weighing in at about 4 ounces. The top of the Charm features a power/standby button and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
