T-Mobile to bring Motorola Charm on 25th August for $75

Latest news coming on from T-Mobile is that they are bringing Motorola Charm on August 25 for a price of $74. The company says that the handset is really affordable but we are suspicious about that as the definition of the term ‘affordable’ is different for customers and manufacturers. There were also rumors that the phone will be offered without any contract obligation which is indeed affordable. But later Motorola said that the phone will cost $74.99 with a contract.

We think this phone is made for messaging enthusiasts due to the presence of full QWERTY keyboard on the surface. We haven’t got the phone in our labs for review yet but we think the keyboard is pretty good looking at the pictures. The buttons are rectangular and they have the concave design which gives you a good feel on the fingers. We have seen this design on some other messaging phones and the ergonomics are indeed pretty good. There is not much separation between the keys but that won’t be a problem because the buttons look big enough. There are also separate buttons for messaging, camera, search function on the bottom which can come in handy while using the phone. The space bar is also big enough and you won’t have many problems while typing.

The screen seems to be a bit small which won’t go well with people who love watching videos on their cell phones. You still have enough room for working with all your documents. Below the screen, there are three touch sensitive buttons but we don’t know what they are for. Motorola Charm also has a three megapixel camera which should give you decent quality photos. That is all we can tell you about the device right now. We will do a full review of it when the manufacturer’s sends it in our labs for review.
