T-Mobile will offer the Motorola CHARM, a touchscreen QWERTY smartphone with Android 2.1, MOTOBLUR this summer. The updated MotoBlur has added cloud data web access from any device in the Moto Phone feature. The CHARM comes with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and usual Android features of Google Maps, Navigation, Gmail and Android Market.
The Motorola CHARM has a 2.8 inch touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard and touch screen in a BlackBerry/Pixi-style form factor. Like the BlackFlip there's BACKTRACK
navigation pad, located on the back behind
the home screen
Motorola CHARM will be the first device in the U.S. to feature an
enhanced version of MOTOBLUR built on Android 2.1, which syncs contacts,
posts, messages, photos and much more in easy to manage streams - from
sources such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Gmail,
work and personal e-mail.
Motorola CHARM features Adobe Flash enabled web browsing, "pinch to zoom," 3MP camera, One-touch social media uploads, CrystalTalk noise cancellation and corporate email pushed immediately.
MOTOBLUR filters can be selected from a single social networking
account, contacts, group or messaging account so that users can select
only the information they want to stream live to the Happenings and
Messages widgets. Users can move and resize pre-loaded home screen
widgets to personalize up to seven home screen panels for an even more
custom experience. Lastly, consumers can manage their phone's battery
consumption by selecting different power modes to conserve battery.
Contacts in MOTOBLUR are automatically synced to the phone from
personal and work e-mail and social network accounts. MOTOBLUR will
continue to provide convenience and peace of mind, as lost devices can
be located from a secure personal information portal and even remotely
erased if necessary. In addition, one user name and password brings back
contacts, messages and connectivity to previously configured networks
and e-mail providers.
Last, but not least, Moto Phone Portal enables users to access and
manage data from any browser through a USB or Wi-Fi
connection. Edit content and view important phone information while at
home or on-the-go. Leave pictures on a friend's PC, share a video at the
local Internet café or share a presentation during an important
business meeting.
