Motorola Charm First Look

In this video I go over the Motorola Charm for T-Mobile. This portrait QWERTY keyboard phone runs Android 2.1 with MOTOBLUR as well as having a 2.8 inch touchscreen and a touchpad on the back dubbed the Backtrack. It also has two microphones (one for noise cancellation), built in Wi-Fi as well as a 3 megapixel camera.

The Motorola Charm is a very interesting device that pairs a fairly unique portrait form factor (similar to the Palm Pixi) with Android 2.1 and a touchpad. No word on how much the Charm will cost when it is available later this summer from T-Mobile.
