Motorola unveils Android phone Charm

NEW DELHI: Motorola has announced another Android-based smartphone, Charm. Based on Android 2.1, Motorola Charm sports a Qwerty keyboard and 2.8 inch touchscreen display.

Launched by T-Mobile in the US, Charm has second microphone for better voice quality.

Just like many of Motorola's other Android phones, Charm has MOTOBLUR for social networking. According to Motorola, Charm has an updated version of MOTOBLUR, which allows users to better filter their messages and customize the software's behavior. The company also said that the new software offers users the ability to tweak MOTOBLUR's power consumption (Motoblur is said to be a battery hog).

Motorola Charm has a 3-megapixel camera, with Kodak Perfect Touch software, but lacks auto-focus and digital zoom. There's microSD card slot that can support cards up to 32GB. Onboard phone memory is 2GB.

On the connectivity front, Charm will support 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, GPS and Motorola's Crystal Talk Plus. The device also packs Exchange corporate email, Gmail, Google Talk, supports turn-by-turn navigation and more.
