When you name a phone “Charm,” it sure as heck better work like one. That has a BlackBerry-like look , this compact device could be the first Android phone while in the U.S. by using a phsical keyboard there’s no need to slide to access. On paper, it’s a tempting buy for heavy texters who desire a full Web experience. We also like the relatively low $74.99 price and Motoblur’s social networking features. However, the Charm’s low-resolution display and poor operation makes handset less compelling than T-Mobile’s other Android offerings.

Design
The Motorola Charm is undoubtedly an attractive little device that resembles a BlackBerry–or a Peek–with a portrait screen up top as well as a physical keyboard below. It is a design that numerous business-minded folks like because it looks professional and emphasizes quick messaging. It feels solid within the hand, and also the plastic components don’t feel cheap. While using body measuring 3.9 x 2.7 x 0.5 inches, the Charm’s height is smaller than other Android phones, however it is just a little thick. What’s more , it feels slightly heavy for your small phone, weighing in at about 4 ounces. The top of the Charm carries a power/standby button as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. The left side carries a MicroUSB port for charging and syncing, and at the most notable you will find a volume rocker. A micro sd card slot is available within the back cover, and also the phone features a 2GB card.

Display
The best disappointing area of the Motorola Charm is its 2.8-inch capacitive touch screen. The QVGA screen incorporates a dated resolution of 320 x 240, and also it displays fuzzy text, muted colors, and low-grade photos and videos. The glass capacitive touch screen is very responsive and you could smoothly pinch-to-zoom over the internet, but that’s not enough to create up because of it being challenging to read.

Keyboard
What that got me initially looking forward to the Motorola Charm was that it must be the first Android phone using a dedicated QWERTY keyboard that doesn’t slide out. The keyboard keys have become comfortable and it’s a breeze to type onto it. It’s not too small for your fingers and having it . a BlackBerry might actually enjoy typing with this device. Because the device has a small wide body – it is very ergonomic to grip. Typing emails onto it is incredibly simple done simply without any typos. When you type – the OS will suggest words which you may have the entire process of typing. So that you can find the suggestion when it applies and continue typing. The keyboard also conveniently lights up at midnight. Overall, sending a contact is quick and painless without the hassle of your virtual keyboard.

Performance
The Motorola Charm includes 2GB of Memory which can be expandable approximately 32GB. The actual speed of processor seems to be mysteriously hard to find as does the particular on-board volume of ram. However Andriod OS 2.1 is installed combined with the excellent MOTOBLUR interface. As a way to setup the phone you will need to setup a MOTOBLUR account. It’s apparent considering the device that it’s no powerhouse like the Google Nexus One or most of the other newer Android phones quit, the way it experiences some serious hiccups when moving from application to application which destroys the fluidity of going around the phone.
