Motorola Charm Set to Woo the Market

Motorola Charm Set to Woo the Market Motorola has just unveiled the Motorola Charm in the US, with a likely launch date for the United Kingdom soon.

The new handset runs Android 2.1, one of the latest versions of Google's popular firmware. Using Motorola's spin on the software, Motoblur, the handset has a clear focus on social networking.

With a 2.8-inch touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard, the latest device to come out of the US embraces user input. The option to type as well as tap will come in handy when users need to get their fingers around an important message in a hurry.

The phone also comes with a 3MP snapper, perfect for quick uploads onto Facebook. A 3.6Mbps HSDPA speed and Wi-Fi also come on board, along with connectivity via Bluetooth.

The headline feature of the device is what Motorola have dubbed the 'BackTrack'. On the back of the device comes an optical trackpad, meaning users can scroll with ease through web pages and texts.

Adobe Flash also comes installed for a more desktop-like web experience.

Among other features on the phone comes CrystalTalk Plus. By employing a second microphone on the device, the handset can remove distracting background noise for clearer and cleaner calls.

With the handset running Android, the device comes with the complete Google package. Gmail, Google Search, YouTube and Google Maps with GPS come pre-installed to provide a more complete internet experience.

"We believe that CHARM with MOTOBLUR adds the social ability and workability consumers are looking for," said Jean-Pierre Le Cannellier, the senior director of North America marketing for Motorola Mobile Devices.

I hope it does come to the UK

Looks a great little phone, hope it does hit the UK. A higher resolution camera would be better still.
