  • Absolute Awesome Design = I love Motorola Charm so much. A piece of Brown Chocolate. Best Gorilla Glass = No scratches after 1.5 years without a screen guard. Good Internet Browsing Touch Screen = Its good but sometimes behaves bad. Camera = Still Camera is good after Kodak Pefect Touch editing but the video camera is horrible. Battery = Duration is Horrible. Perfomance = Hangs a lot even during Incoming Calls, sometimes it Auto Restarts. Network = Fast 3G network, But sometimes Auto-disconnects 3G connection. Features = No 3G ON/OFF option, No Bluetooth file transfer option Display = Not good, Just OK. Bad from side views. Call quality = Superb. GPS Navigation = Superb. Internal Memory = somewhat 170 MB Android = No updates Build quality = Feels solid. But even after all these, I love him so much. Always Love you Motorola Charm.

  • is motorola charm custom rom android v2.2?

  • is custom rom android v2.2?

  • is custom rom android v2.2?

  • Buy it at Amazon, they've got good deals and it's a great phone by the way.

  • I am using this phone for over a year and I think that it's quite fine for such a decent price. It works great, without stopping. I have only two objections to this smart phone. There are no possibilities to upgrade to any newer version of Android and camera is very bad. Good thing is that keybord is perfect for those who like to type a lot of messages. Processor is OK for Android 2.1 I recommend this phone for users who didn't have experience with Android.

  • from where i will buy this phone?

  • great product of moto

  • Better not. you can gift the money for charity instead of wasting your money in this useless object (Which moto calls a phone)

  • i dont like it i can find the font on this phone.

  • Long time Iphone and BB user, bought this phone because I got tired of the BB and their less that reliable OS, also wanted to try the Android OS. I use to own Motorola Phones back in the days of 2G or less, they use to be great, this phone is NOT, battery is a joke (no more than 6 hours on auto mode 2-3G and wifi), OS is worst (I don�t know if it�s the software of the hardware is really that bad) almost never hags but it reboots by itself at least 8 times per day, looks good, but that is the only positive thing about it, my opinion: NEVER! By any chance buy this phone!!!!, its a waste of money, even if you find one for around 10 $, trust me, its not worth it really disappointed at Motorola.

  • You Just want to reboot ur phone.After rebooting ur Mobile will run as new one.i also faced the same problem and reboot my mobile now its working just fine For rebooting go to: Setting->Privacy Setting->Factory Data Reset. (Note:Factory Data reset will erase all ur mobile data e.g. messages,bookmarks ect.recommended to backup all these)

  • i can open the browser of my mb502 but i cant access my market account by creating a goggle account, it shows that call customer care this problem on your phone.

  • A mobile which is useless for the inital price no upgrade no tranfer of data to sd card always hangs not able to see youtube touch is use less No front camera actually the price we pay is a gifted money to moto.

  • ebay

I will pay for a new battery if the warranty issue will not work.

  • the phone is so nice,though broke the screen can i get a replacement for my phone?

  • This phone is awsome ...pretty good looks . Nice features... Almost everything is good But the Battery and camera is very poor...and sometimes the touch will not respond you otherwise its just awsome after having android v2.1

  • No. No front camera that's a sensor that kinda locks the phone when ur making a call

  • At first I loved it! Til the problems started. Sometimes the touch screen goes nutz! And sometimes it locks me out! Recently its been getting super hot!(even when I'm not using it!) Sometimes it will just shut off and reboot itself! I've already had three replacements! And it each new phone does the same thing! So beware if ur planning on getting this phone get the insurance!

  • Bought this phone a few days ago and I like everything about it. Unfortunately after downloading a couple of applications the internal memory gets full.mi researched what I have to do and it seems I need to root the phone to enable the transfer of my applications to the sd card. I tried app2sd but there isn't any on the android market for the charm tried downloading then universal and root which downloads to the phone but when you click root the download fails. Please please can anyone help me by explaining a step by step process on how to sort the problem with the internal memory for the phone which is a killer for me. Thankx

  • I've had this phone for about 3 months now (Oct 2011 to Jan 2012) and this is what I have discovered: PROS: - Android OS (2.1) - It runs Android 2.1 very fast, hardly any lag - customizable interface - The MOTO-Blur feature is actually pretty cool - Wifi and Bluetooth are great - Typing is super easy on the QWERTY - Super lightweight - Great call clarity - This phone is small, without being small. The "square-ish" form factor makes it seem small in your hand, but it's not really small. CONS: - Camera isn't the greatest, could use a LED flash - Can't upgrade Android version - Battery life is a JOKE. Motorola should have just shipped the phone without a battery - it would have the same performance :). On the standard battery you will get less than 24hrs stand-by-time, with wifi and bluetooth turned off!!! RECOMMENDATION: - Buy the 1350ma battery with the bigger cover piece ($40 off ebay). When you do that, this phone is on par with iPhone's, blackberries, etc. I own a Blackberry Torch (work phone), and I can honestly say the Charm holds it's own on comparison. I have owned a iPhone as well, i'd choose this phone hands-down over the iPhone - of course, because it has Android. For the price, you can't beat it to get into the wonderful world of Android OS. This is my first Android phone, and I can see what everyone is talking about - it won't be my last Android device.

  • what goes wrong when you can not get internent on the phone and is close to your routier

  • guys does your keyboard lightup?

  • I purchased this phone in April, 2011 through Telus Mobility in Canada. The phone was free on a two year contract, not bad. But the phone was already no longer listed on Telus website, and they were thinking of no longer selling the phone. In August, I had to bring my phone in to Telus and have them ship it back to Motorola because of: screen not responding, loss of data connectivity, no ability to visit Facebook from my phone. When I picked it up two weeks later all they had done was a factory reset, which I could have done here at home! I recently brought it back in to Telus due to the same problems and serious phone signal problems, the company this time installed an upgrade for me which has lessened my screen problems and so far fixed my data and signal connection. They no longer sell this phone, so the next time I have to send it in, they'll be replacing it. Otherwise, this is a cute, capable, very handy phone.

OMG i cannot connect it to my local networks? i was thinking that the mobile was locked or what?(but it says in the reciept its unlocked phone? or perhaps since this mobile is from the USA maybe it cannot be use in any other countries like saudi arabia? PLEASE..CAN ANYBODY OUT THERE HELP ME ON WHAT TO DO? thanks.

  • I got this phone about a year ago, and so far it has been great! The only problem I had with it was that the battery would die SO fast! I would keep it on sleep, and after 7 hours or so, it would be dead. I don't even open it ONCE during those 7 hours, it's on sleep the whole time. But it would just die. Then i asked someone who also had the phone, and they said to use the other battery (it comes with 2 batteries, one is bigger than the other), so i put in the other battery (the bigger one) instead of the smaller one, and it's awesome now! It doesn't die when it's on sleep or anything. I would highly recommend this phone, just use the bigger battery. Best phone I've had. Texting is super easy and the keyboard is excellent! The camera of it isn't the best, but that's not a big problem.

  • Dude compared to XT 311 hows it??

  • How the phone feels against Fire xt 311 ??? ANYBODY???

  • This is simply a great phone, for office use too (tough it has motoblur but still) and otherwise too. they keyboard the touchscreen everything is great and decen battery life. yes you can to video streaming, and also supports almost all messengers as well as facebook.

  • hey guys.. we all know that motorola charm is a perfect phone as its has android power but the only thing which make us annoy its battery backup but after using it for almost 4 days now I would really like to share my idea with you that how you can save a lot of battery�.so here we go � Keep your display brightness up to 10%. Yes this is one of the factor which drains your battery fast so keep it on 10, another fact is � you get good quality icon display as its has qvga screen so once you increase brightness on phone the display looks more ugly, the icon looks more distorted. � Keep your battery on smart mode under settings, it gives you a freedom to control your packet data so you can set the time slot for the packet data. � Set your phone on sleep mode, time limit should be 30 mins. � Download the application called task killer from android market. Its free and helps you to kill running applications by one touch � That�s it � after doing all process I was able use my phone for more than 10 hours� including 1 hour call , 30 mins net surf, 15 mins android mkt. , 20 mins msg� I hope you like it thanks

  • Hi guys... I bought this phone two days ago and now I must say its complete phone under your budget. However I would like to give my review..so here we go.. Good :- Browser- if you are interntet freak. Like surfing on net then I must say motorola charm is what you are looking for... the qwerty keypad gives you a complete satisfaction while typing..so you can type quickly. Built:-holding this phone in hand is a great experience as its different from android from available in mkt. ..solid design will never let you down in terms of look. Backtrack:- its one of the best feature for those who surf the internet or mails. Saves time. .can check yourmails by one hand. fast processor:- processing speed is really fast...you can do multitasking. .quite smooth touch screen. Bad:- Bettery life :- Bettery life is not that good as it should be. . Anyhow I was able to manage 4 hours including of 60 mins surfing, chating, 70 mins calling. android 2.1 :- android 2.1 is another hitch but does not matter when its come to performance. However you can't play flash 10.1 videos. Camera:- camera quality is not good at all. screen resolution :- screen resolution is not that good as it has qvga display but we can't deny the fact that its a budget phone so its better that any other qvga screens phone available in market. Conclusion :- overall its a good budget phone for mailing, browsing internet,chating... good for age group 15-35. I would give 7 out of 10 and 10 out of 10 for it's keypad as I typed the whole review through my motorola charm.. All the best with your phone search :))))

  • Max of 150mb user memory

  • This is my second charm. First one was finally replaced. Very poor service from motorola. Horrible screen, freezes constantly, suefing the web and scrolling stutters, drops calls constantly as well. What else? Ovvh. Overheats badly. Ugly as sin but that's the best of its problems. As well, it has horribly sound quality. I mean HORRIBLE. Second phone, already freezing, bad sound quality, overheating etc etc. Don't get this piece. Im never buying motorola again. Oh. And my bud has same phone. Same issues, different provider.

  • Moto didn't released any updates yet.

  • how much is the usable intermal memory on this phone? anyone please reply..thnx..

  • Handy phone but battery life could have been better. I think it�s the same case for the entire Android phones. Even with a task killer App installed.

  • I suggest you wait for the samsung galaxy pro to come out to the market.... its better than charm by 85%........

  • bhaji is this phone realy nice?

  • i dont have motoblur accounts in my mobile

  • Hey guys motorola charm superb phone it have 720 Mhz processor and its touch is awesome. charm is upgradable phone when company having version 2.2 that time you upgrade your phone. If u have any doubt about moto charm so pls tell me.

  • Its fit for business usage only only... not for anything else.. im using it... txting, mailing, browsing evrything is awesome. but multimedia, games, video, camera everthing is just for name sake.. also it freezes up for more number of app at a time... battery hardly lasts for 4hours

  • samsung has launched its galaxy pro...qwerty, android 2.2 touch phone. apart from looks, it has everything going for it better than the charm.

  • No 2.2 yet in xda, infact xda dont have a section for the charm. 2.2 is being worked on but its in pre-alpha stage, got a long way to go! Success to the team

  • 2.2 is avaliable for this phone in xda forum ?

  • great camera??

  • BS means nonsense

  • Yes it can support Adobe 10.1 since it has ARM-Cortex A8 CPU and a capable GPU. The only drawback is that motorola wil never ever update it to Android 2.2 the mimimum OS for Adobe 10.1 to run.

  • is this phone support adobe flash player 10.1?

  • Hey...whts BS??

  • That's a load of BS. Just wait for custom ROM. Am running 2.2 on my Hero when HTC said it wasn't possible. And am due to upgrade it to 2.3 really soon. :)

  • Why the hell motorola say that charm is not capable of supporting froyo? It broke my heart.

  • what is the cost of 1420 mAh battery for charm??? can we get it locally in India??

  • after long time im using motorola again. this one great except the screen looks terrible.. small and compact. i dont like big phone coz i already got iphone which is big. sigh

  • this phone can download skype ? i was wondering is it able to download skype and able me to chat on skype using voice call ?

  • cost of 1420mah battery is...____?

  • @Pu to delete a widget, hold it for about 3-4 seconds then on the right hand bottom a bin appears. Drag the unwanted widget to the bin & when the bin turns red just drop it, ur widget will be deleted.

  • are you sure you can use 1420mah battery and it runs fine??? i had asked the same doubt before but it got ignored. ;)

  • i m using this cell from 3 months the cell is awesome,,but camera is not satisfactory if u r using social networking a lot then its a perfect cell,,,,,

  • Bought the phone a week back & have discovered it fully, so here are my reviews: 1) Display is osm, plays videos smoothly, 2.8" is big enough to have a great viewing experience(its atleast larger than 2.34" screen in nokia E-Series) 2) Am a chat savy so cudnt think of buying a touch only phone, the QWERTY keypad of this phone is really soft and makes typing fun, the phone includes a virtual keyboard though. 3) The Capacitive Touch is awesome, really luv to run my hands over it. 4) The Backtrack thin is really cool, i enjoy falunting it amongst my friends :D 5) Browsing experience is really great, backtrack & pinch zooming enhance the fun even more. 6) The processor is really fast and 512 MBs of ROM & RAM is the best of what you can have. I even tried to intentionally hang the phone by running several apps at once but i failed. 7) the only drawback is the battery life, but the resolve is to upgrade to a 1420mAh battery thats easily available. Trust me guys the phone is awesome & is actually a value for money. This phone is a beast and u really feel powerful once u hold it. If its within ur budget, dont give it a second thought, just go for it.

  • The phone is realy impresive I'm a student plz can any one sugest the phone is worth buying in India.Hows the camera,if I compare it with e71 nokia which one is better

  • Unusual characters used in Motorola's Charm is a true innovation technology development. But there are some people who think it is something that is less efficient. One example is to embed the physical and the virtual keypad in one package. About the price offered by Motorola to make us have to reach the pockets deep enough to buy this phone. And it seems to be accompanied by a wise consideration, because in addition to mobile phones less familiar character, the embedded Android platform is still version 2.1 aka Eclair. (here my own review,

  • i've heard that charm is available with 2 batteries in the uk. i stay in india. what if i buy charm and along with it a 1420mah battery separately? would it work just fine???

  • Great phone lots of features easy to use. I have absolutley NO regrets getting the phone. good picture, video's, sound is good, light weight, etc... Only drawbacks i can find are: 1. Batery life is short when you use it a lot. Keep chargers close by when you get this phone, convenient part abourt charger is cord disconnects from charger and connect to computer and can charge thru USB. 2. Charger conection is a bit flimsy but as long as you set phone down to charge you will have no problems (wife already replacing her phone as she uses it while charging and charger connection on phone is now loose and cannot charge(so just leave phone down when charging only takes about an hour to charge)

  • sure charm is great

  • how to know the total call time on charm

  • Which phone is better a motorala CHARM or Lg OPTiMuS?

  • An excellent phone..the design, performance, looks are amazing..the only drawback is the battery life..it lasts for a full one day provided if u don't fiddle too much with it..otherwise great signal reception, excellent sound quality wit active noise cancellation..and great sets of feature with android 2.1 update 1

  • i m a bit confused between quench and charm. is typing faster in touchscreen or qwerty keypad? i use messaging a lot. plus i really liked the backtrack option in charm which is equivalent to the trackball of quench. but the problem is charm loses out on battery life and camera. what is the actual battery life of both the phones? i m asking about first hand experiences. not what the company tells.

  • change the name of d phone motorola CHARM= motorola IDIOT Thats sounds more great

  • just got it n finally sold it. Too many wrong things 4 me why there is a virtual keyboard on d screen,meanwhile it already had a qwerty keyboard the worst part of it is the battery life only 1,5 days with general usage. Android phones consumed more battery than other os but samsung,se n lg doing great with this. A little disappointing but its a lesson 4 me. Not only the look n the feel but the inside is the most important.

  • I want to know how videos downloaded from net can be saved in this phone??Also how new softwares can be stored in memory card instead of phone memory??

  • My first smart phone; I found it at first a bit intimidating; that's until I started trying one by one the different features. This is an extremely well designed device; the proof of it is that I'm a 65 yr old man; I've had it for just one week and I can now master about 90% of its features. Oh! I'm also a very busy person due to work and other responsibilities. I love it! Pros: 3G, music, keyboard, volume level, touch screen, easy to use, great web browsing, great camera, WiFi, great for texting, useful apps, speakerphone Cons: battery more user review

  • FlipOut sure...

  • is their any option to install font in this phone to read a news paper site

  • i think charm is better than flip

  • hi can someone help me, i live in the bahamas and i wanted this phone really bad. im ordering it from a guy however i just noticed some small print that says i would need prepaid and data access just to use this phone. do we really need data acess just for this phone to work?

  • Hey i purchased MOTOROLA CHARM From TELUS CANADA @ $300. Living in Ahmedabad-INDIA, firstly it was locked and its very easy to unlock jus in 1 day. This charm is very UNIQUE in INDIA because of TELUS CANADA. i used it and believe me its really fantastic cell with gr8 Anroid system, very fast processor, luks very awsume in navy blue colour. enjoyed it

  • Does anybody faced memory problem? As it has eclair, so the apps get stored on phone mem. Or how many apps u can download in it?

  • Motorola Charm has the battery backup problem is one of the most bad factor for this phone, if you useing the all features battery hardly works for 3-4 hours. Motorola provides extra battery of 1400 mha in america region and extra battery pack. Why they are not providing the same in india.

  • No 2.2 for Charm anywhere yet

  • yar ye set tho mast hi

  • is there a android 2.2(froyo) version for charm in india???

  • Battery problem. Why is motrolla selling the phone in India with just one battery !!! Did any one get he 14mah battery from an India vendor??? Fantastic phone otherwise. Just the perfect formfactor.

  • Hi Nirav, The specs look good for this phone, how much did you pay for it in Mumbai? Cheers CD

  • is there a android 2.2(froyo) version for charm in india???

  • Although I got this phone a month back,couldn't use it as it had country lock in it. And it was a pain getting it unlocked as it's a new model. But now.. I really love this phone. To name a few cons,battery is a lil weak & camera clarity is very bad,but.. over all it's nice experience.

  • I got this phone two weeks back (Mumbai). The phone is pretty good. Can someone please tell me how do I share music from this phone to some other phone via bluetooth? It's been a pain in my arse to figure how to do that thing. Any help in this regard ASAP, would be highly appreciated. Nirav

  • I love this phone

  • Oops....Correction, it is back Track *Pad

  • The moment you start browsing/play music or turn on to do any stuff on phone, the upper Portion of Moto Charm (hosting the back Track Dad)starts heating up unusually, is that normal? Please let me know if anyone knows any solution solution.

  • ya sure

  • is this a 3g enabled phone

  • except for battery power this phone is good

  • this phone is amazing, I think motorola is ready to come back with a bang with their range of androids & CHARM is one fine example.

  • Back view is not tat much gd, also battery mAh is too low.

  • There is also an HSPA 850 or 1900 version for North America/Canada

  • web browser is great and too fast and qwerty keyboard is very easy to use

  • Hi all, Is Motorola Charm upgradable from 2.1 Eclair to FROYO I searched many articles but hard to find, If so by when...other features are worth giving it a try

  • Which Sony Ericsson u r talking abt, there is no comparison of this handset.

  • the camera is terrible. i don´t read barcode because this.

  • Between 15 k in endroid the best option go for it.even bachtrack is petant tecnowlogy of moto.good for moto

  • Ya u can go for moto but sony ericsson is a much better option!

  • Its available in Iran but ...... Its 450 USD!

  • Don't go for Nokia or Samsung dude, Motorola is still the greatest of all. I'm also a moto freak and have used multiple devices from Nokia & Samsung as well but trust me, no other device can compare with the technology that moto have. Build quality is awesome & the genius of all, messaging technology. Moto rules.

  • Dear all, before posting cons of this device, just make an in-depth analysis of it. Qwerty keyboard along with the Touch screen, roller at the back, nicely spaced keyboard, social networking with a touch of button, and all other specs that one can think in a phone. And the greatest of all, the messaging technology of Motorola, the genius of all. Consider this masterpiece from Motorola & compare with what competitors are offering in this price, specially Nokia which is infact a device having major technical flaws. Moto still the best device in the tele world.

  • Someone with the phone. Can I change the song with the arrow keys? Can I delete the current song with the delete key? I have a BB 8520 that it does. The thing is I drive all day and it is difficult using the touch screen while driving. Thanks!

  • In my country is only selling for US$210 without contract. i have try the phone myself i think they doesnt have a bigger power battery what they available in the US. i have hold the phone myself, is very light in weight but i dont like the plastic feel,i think that wat made the phone light. the phone resolution is poor. Not sharp, color not "colorful" enough. But i guess it wont be power consuming Srolling of pages is jerky, jus dont expect the scrolling jus like a 1 gig ram phone but i play "fruit ninja" a iphone and android game on the charm is responsive typin msg is a breeze wit the deep in button. Backtrack is responsive the phone is easy slot-in ur jeans and without the feel of a bulky phone when sitting down overall, the motorola Charm is goin to be my sub-phone beside my iphone4.

  • still expensive, sigh* i think it won't be available on the Philippines..

  • Although most reviews of the charm are not so encouraging, i would still like to consider this one. Mainly due to its great form factor. i personally like small gadgets and really not a fan of the big screen smart fones. they are never handy for a fast use.i currently use a motorola L9 slvr and love the speaker on the handset. its the best quality speaker on any handset so far.music sounds great though its not too loud. its crisp and clear. i expect the same great hardware on any android device and motorola has just given that in the charm. small form factor, great handset speaker with wifi and 3g and android to top it all. just what i was looking for. however if motorola wants to impress the screen quality obsessed folks, they can come up with the same form factor with 1Ghz processor,512MB RAM, a HIGH RESOLUTION screen,trackball and a front VGA cam for video calling. Motorola has opened up a new segment and the people are waiting for superior handsets. Thats what i call a powerpacked gadget. small yet powerful

  • Yes, BB has it for $250 contract free. The only bottleneck would be shipping since its a locked phone. If you can wait til, 30th Nov u may get it unlocked n world wide shipping. I came across that from a cell phone shop in the U.S

  • Thanks guys for your help and comments. Yes I did ask them for a motorola charm with no contract and did not care if it was locked can have it unlocked in Dubai in a few minutes and am not bothered with motoblur. Still no luck and i feel that if it has taken so long to get the motorola charm might as well wait for the motorola pro. Just in shock how motorola is managing it's international market.

  • i am a motorola freak though now thinking of changing to nokia or samsung.pls is there anyone who knows how strong the battery of this mobile is cos i like to buy it?i know motorola battery doesnt last but is there a little improvement in this?

  • You sure? I've contacted a few of ebayers willing to ship oversea. But they're not unlocked and you've to do that yourself, which costs approx. $30.

  • Don't fool by the slow processor. Granted, it won't run your 3D games very well (if it runs at all) but for an Android phone, the RAM is what it counts and this one packs 512MB, which is twice the amount of all other low-end phones. This phone could have been a hit if not for its screen resolution, which I've found underwhelming and you'll too, if you've handled any phone released in the last 2-year. The fixed-focus camera is another turnaway.

  • I understand the main reason for its lack of worldwide availability is due to Motoblur service which is only available in the U.S n few select countries. But still you can use the phone without registering for Motoblur. Thats unfortunate, did you request them for the one with no-contract? BB has it for $250.

  • Thanks for that. I have tried through two friends and a cousin for the last few weeks and still nothing. Hate chasing anyone or inconveniencing them. I am just shocked that the phone is gsm and it is not sold outside the US. Tried all the people on eBay and they also will not ship abroad which confuses me as I am paying for the phone and the Dhl beforehand.

  • Do you have a relative in the U.S? You can send him/her to buy the phone for you then s/he sends it to you. Thats the best method to be able to get it. Thats wat am planning to do.

  • im loving this ohone so far. i did only just get it today but i am in love so far. its git fast reaction time and the android feature is great. i am having trouble assigning my own ringtones to it however. n e ideas?

  • Well said, i share your sentiments a 100%. After all there can never be a fully perfect phone!

  • Honestly, I've read FAR to many complaints about this phone and they need to shut up. Bad-mouthing about the lack apps, or the poor quality of the screen. I come from a Virgin mobile TNT for god sakes, and this phone is a god sent. NOT that I can't afford the HTC's, iPhone 4, Samsung, etc. I...really...just don't need it. I check my mail, read blogs, connect with social media outlets, using GPS, and listen to music...DONE. These days everyone is all about the hype. And needs EVERYTHING, but do you really...REALLY NEED IT? I plan on getting this phone, regardless of the negativity. It's small, ultra portable, and does ALL I will ever need. First time Android and smartphone user...I CAN'T WAIT!

  • ths phone is worth it

  • Looking forward to buying the Charm. Its the only low end Android smartphone utilising the Arm Cotex A8 chipset..ofcourse with fellow Moto low end Androids

  • Is this phone really worth it?...does it have any kinds of bugs?...does it freeze time to time?

  • This phone is the worst peice of crap i have ever seen. I wouldnt even take this phone as a gift. It belongs in the trash. Motorola charm rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah baby

  • How come last time I went to T-mobile and asked to purchase "handset only" (Cliq) and the salesperson said "the phone would still be locked"? I had to take the phone to some place else to get it unlocked.

  • Can u read PDF files on it? thanks.

  • I got this phone 2 weeks ago I'm in love with , i was blackberry then changed to my touch, now have this one ill never change this phone .

  • the untold story of upcoming phones, check it out

  • Guys if you really like the form factor of this phone but dont like the specification wait for the Motorola Venus that is coming out soon, do a search on google for motorola venus or the verizon roadmap leak. Its meant to have a 1GHz processor along with Android 2.2.

  • yes your right thx

  • No problems with internet or wi-fi at all.

  • Mr. Motorola Fan! From which angle u find ugly..I am sure this phone atleast looks beeter than u r face.

  • The ugliest mobile phone ever

  • just tried to order it from amazon to my address in dubai and dying to get this phone as it is a qwerty with android great combination. unfortunately amazon says it cannot ship to dubai. Can anyone please help me by telling me where i can call to order this phone. Thanks

  • Why didn't moto make the screen 480*360 or higher... Or the phone will be great so much so sad : (

  • This is the phone of my dreams! It is JUST like the Motorola Backflip, but MUCH better! It's a Bar Phone with a QWERTY keyboard and it is touchscreen. MUCH better than having to flip open ur phone to be able to type or having to worry about typing the wrong thing while using the touchscreen keypad! I Love It! ^_^

  • you can buy it from T-Mobile without a Service plan and pout ur sim card from AT&T in it. T-Mobile is just a sub-company of AT&T. You can order the phone from Amazon for $300 without a service plan. I just did that. It currently has free 2 Day Shipping. ^_^

  • This Phone is very good u need to go with good operator .

  • What do you people think about the internet connection??? I hate it! I loose connection all the time... is anyone else having internet connection problems?

  • hey guys my charm should be here soon and im looking forward to it the phone looks amazing . also the features that are shown are probably so we can see the rest for ourselves. but the again i have a htc so lets see

  • I love that "Backtrack" touchpad on the rear, I wish more manufacturers would have that.

  • Hi, Is this phone for T-Mobile? Where can I find unlocked version?

  • Hi, Is this phone for T-Mobile? Where can I find unlocked version?

  • I got this phone for 3 weeks now. First few charges it lasted one and a half to 2 days. Now it last around 3 days, and I use it for everything. So I don't have battery issues, nor does a work collegue who has one as well, he does not play around on his as much as I do and he gets 4 days battery life.

  • Yes the battery is not very good ,I also saw the complain on , so it is really a matter of worry .

  • The battery life is not that great. You need daily charge ups as all the ongoing services drain teh battery really well. I guess thats why it comes with 2 batteries.

  • I have this phone and it is not big at all. It jusy looks that way in the pictures because that is the same thing I thought.

  • yes it does

  • this phone has back light on android front keys(Menu, Home, Back)?

  • powerfull phone

  • Hi i really liked this phone and want to buy it when is this phone being launched in india please let me knw ASAP....

  • Is the display quality really that bad!? The rest from what I read in reviews, seems to be more or less just great, with great futures

  • this phone i think it's good for woman to use it because it's so looks so big that only can fit in the purse , i'm a men can't carrying this around it's won't fit in my pocket or the belt clip WTH .

  • Please check my bro...Trackball is present....

  • Love this phone. Just one question - will this work correct in Israel GSM network, or may be any technical issue? Thanks.

  • just a question..how's the battery life of this phone? thanks.

  • no trackball needed because it equipped with Backtrack Touch Panel in the back of his body

  • the only thng missing is da trackball

  • Love this phone. The design and everything. Been looking for a smart phone other than the blackberry. Blackberry is a great messenger because I have one (BB9000), but that's it. The rest is just boring. Interface gets boring over a short span of time, applications are very limited. This one looks promising and for about 240 euros, i don't think it's a rip-off. Looking forward to see this in stores around. Will surely grab one.

  • That is absolutley gorgeous. Just seen the video, i Will be getting one of these to relace my X10 with.

  • Well it's about time that we find someone brave enough to venture with something different in terms of form factor with Android � even more when landscape QWERTY handsets are abundant. The Motorola CHARM is actually a well-rounded device that refreshes the usual set of Android phones we're typically presented with. When it's priced at $79.99 on-contract, it makes for a decent offering when you factor in its rare portrait style QWERTY, inclusion of Android 2.1, and its quality construction. When we think about it more, its pricing is definitely fitting for any feature phone we've seen Motorola produce, but it's even more exciting when it's an Android powered smartphone we're talking about. In the end, it might not be quite to the level of its high-end counterparts in performance, but it's more than acceptable and functional to get you by your daily routines.

  • Performance: Voices on both ends were extremely audible thanks to clear and distinct tones, however, there is a faint static sound that can be heard on our end. Fortunately, it doesn't deter us from still being able to easily make out our conversations � plus the strong tones of the earpiece makes every word sound full bodied. Even though the speakerphone is able to produce some strong tones as well, voices were noticeably muffled sounding, but again, it didn't make the overall experience overbearing. Generally hovering around -79 dBm in the high coverage area of the greater Philadelphia region, we didn't experience any major spikes in signal strength or dropped calls during our testing. For something packing an 1130 mAh battery, we were content to find it more than adequate in getting by a solid one day of normal usage � plus with some juice left over to start of the next day. But Motorola decided to be nice and include a larger 1420 mAh battery for good measure with an accompanying rear cover for it. Actually, it does add a little hump to the rear cover, but we didn't find it to be a problem. Nonetheless, you'll be covered with more than enough battery life with the two batteries included with the packaging

  • Without a doubt, there surely have been many people out there clamoring to see an Android smartphone that employs that typical BlackBerry look with its signature stationary portrait style QWERTY form factor. The yearnings of many have been heard by Motorola as they've addressed this much wanted design with the Motorola CHARM for T-Mobile. Since this is a company that's been experiencing a resurgence of late, thanks to a couple of recent top notch Android smartphones, the CHARM is the company's unique spin on the much wanted form factor that's been clearly non-existent with the platform. Let's find out if the undeniably charming looking Motorola CHARM MB502 has enough magic in its housing to enchant consumers to side with it

  • The package contains: Motorola CHARM microUSB Cable Wall Charger Stereo Headset Start Guide 1420mAh battery 1130mAh battery 2 Rear Covers 2GB microSD card

  • I find it ironic that such a fug phone could be named the "charm"

  • Already mentioned earlier, price is US$75 with 2 years contract. US$270 for handset only via Tmobile in US.

  • cool phone but it doesn't have any camera flash?? hope that they will put some within this summer... hehehe love motorola!!!

  • the phoneis super fast !! watch video in youtube

  • dont get this.i was so happy to get it, when i went to the store and tried it out,,,the screen is horrible.my rooted cliq makes this screen look ancient...soooo disappointed

  • wwwwaaaaaaawwwwww!....this is killer smart!..especially b/g/n wifi..latest technology for wifi...best compact design by moto!..great phone!...thanks moto..

  • wow! cant wait to get one, motos doing very good

  • Honestly, I am not a great fan of capacitive screens. If you do a lot of serious work and want to do copy and paste, you'll see the pain with the capacitive screen. Precise selection of text is difficult without a stylus, and those styli supposedly made for capacitive screens are a joke - they don't work. That's why I have parked my HTC HD2!

  • If you want flash, get a REAL digital camera. This is a PHONE designed for COMMUNICATION, not photos.

  • They should have put a flash for the camera instead of the trackpad on the back.

  • Been playing with the Charm myself, found out it's a 720MHz CPU which is faster than most others in similar price range and 512MB ram when most others has 256MB. Bill is right, the display is kind of crummy but otherwise Motoblur+2.1 runs exceptionally well so I look forward to newer higher end Motorola with Blur and 2.1 soon.

  • In US, believe it costs US$74 with 2 years contract, US$269 without.

  • i just posted a video on youtube, its an ok phone.. resolution isnt that geat (comparing it to a mytouch slide) its a great dea for the price though video on billzkustomz channel on youtube

  • how low a price can you get a motorola charm and where can i get one in west africa precisely

  • video of a guy using it its a super fast phone with a great screen

  • This phone seems perfect... waiting to see it for real!

  • Exactly how "crap" is the screen? Afterall, it's still "capacitive", unlike certain brand who keeps releasing "resistive" touchscreen phones even in 2010. How about the trackpad? You didn't even bother to mention that. I tried a demo unit in late July as well and found the keyboard just about the same as the one on Q9, even though in a smaller package.

  • Folks, I had high hops on this Phone as well. I had hands-on with this device and was totally disappointed. The Screen is CRAP. I am surprised why Moto is even producing this Phone. The OS on the device appeared to Run ok and the Keyboard is not that appealing as well naturally. Over all I suggest people not to buy this Phone a waste of money.

  • what is the s[peed of processor

  • motopinascharm!

  • Holly cow! I'm totally impressed! Rare track pad? awesome! looking forward to buy this phone! It has everything you need!

  • GSM Global System for Mobile Communication. GSM is the dominant 2G digital mobile phone standard for most of the world. It determines the way in which mobile phones communicate with the land-based network of towers. GSM is one of two major mobile phone technologies in the U.S. The other is CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. Sprint and Verizon use CDMA. GSM is more prevalent in most other parts of the world, and especially in Europe. Although GSM and CDMA provide similar basic features and services to end-users, (such as voice calling, text messaging, and data services,) they operate very differently at many technical levels. This makes GSM phones completely incompatible with CDMA networks, and vice-versa. The most visible feature of GSM are SIM cards. SIM cards are removable, thumbnail-sized smart cards which identify the user on the network, and can also store information such as phone book entries. SIM cards allows users to switch phones by simply moving their SIM card from one phone to the other. For information about GSM-related 2.5G and 3G technology: CDMA Code-Division Multiple Access. CDMA is a digital wireless technology. It is a general type of technology, implemented in many specific technologies. But the term "CDMA" is also commonly used to refer to one specific family of technologies (IS-95 and CDMA2000) used in the US by Sprint and Verizon Wireless. This technology competes with GSM, used by AT&T and T-Mobile. CDMA is a "spread spectrum" technology, which means that it spreads the information contained in a particular signal of interest over a much greater bandwidth than the original signal. Unlike many competing technologies, CDMA has no hard limit for the number of users who may share one base station (tower). Instead, with CDMA, additional users can connect until the base station determines that call quality would suffer beyond a set limit. CDMA (IS-95) systems have been in commercial operation since 1995. CDMA networks operate in the 800 and 1900 MHz frequency bands with primary markets in the Americas and Asia. IS-95 CDMA technology has also been called cdmaOne and cdma2000.

  • I was long waiting for a new phone with 2.8 screen size, and keyboard, last one was Nokia E61i, but Charm it looks far better in terms of OS, hardware, and apps, I cant wait to put my hands on this motorola.

  • what the hell?!?!? this price for this package?!?!?!? DAMN!! If motorola is seling this here in the Philippines, I'm so gonna buy in a heartbeat!!

  • Well, considering the specs are listed and this website is GSMarena... I'm gonna wager that it's not CDMA.

  • It's looking like GSM only for now. Release to T-Mobile USA.

  • motorola want to make 10" tablet with tv

  • Moto to release iPad Killer in Q4 2010

  • cool ........ one!!!!! but would it be available out side of America?? Its GSM or CDMA? Answer would be appreciated. thanks

  • Battery is 1170 mAh yes but this phone have a battery manager. You will find the battery manager in all new Moto devices like Droid x, Flipout, Droid 2. But now Moto even included it in is android 2.1 update. Mean Cliq or Dext after update will have that application. CPU 600 Mhz RAM 512 Mb ROM 512 Mb More

  • What is its CPU speed?

  • Motorola CHARM's battery is not sufficient. Android phones suck batteries too fast and hence this 1170 mAh is not at all sufficient. It should have 1500 mAh battery atleast.

  • Motorola charm is like a profesion user phone good and sutible

  • Love the idea. multi touch with qwerty keyboard plus andriod os also in cheap price. Can't wait to get my hands on this phone.

  • you obviously missed my point completely. look at all the features they've packed into this phone. it has so much potential to be a mid-to-high end phone. instead, it's a low-to-mid end phone at best now. If they really wanted to make a lower end Moto android phone, they should have stripped this phone down even more so it doesn't look like it has such good potential.

  • I think it's a good thing for Moto Android phone to launch cheap, not many people can afford a high end phone specifications

  • this phone is WEAK! why do manufacturers feel the need to develop something like this that has the potential to be awesome, only to stifle certain key features that only relegate it to "that came out when?" status? 3.2MP, fixed focus, 24fps vga video, qvga screen, weak battery...considering everything else they packed into the phone, why skimp on the multimedia options if this is supposed to be a social media phone? WAKE UP MOTOROLA...getting too cocky from the milestone MOTOROLA = next Nokia, ie. increasingly fails to impress with each new phone by making stupid development decisions

  • We are looking at people like you. To even add some more, all dext users or cliq ones will get an update with that new application called (battery manager) in the upcoming update 2.1 for cliq or dext . Check in google search by typing (dext or cliq with android 2.1 with battery manager). In fact this program is not only available in charm and flipout but also in droid x. We will probably have it almost on all upcoming moto phones. Droid 2 will pack it as well. For all moto devices that need an update like backflip, milestone xt720 and so on, we may find it too. I wish milestone will get it on the froyo update.

  • Motorola has upgraded its battery usage, MOTO Flip out & Charm are of the few that has a better & improved Battery Management in the Settings Menu, wherein you can manage & allocate the amount of battery used for every profile, activity or application you are using. MOTO Charm & Flip out also has improved versions of MOTOBLUR. For more info, view videos @ the MOTOROLA Youtube.

  • Yes 1170 mAh is not a lot but this is better than SE mini, mini pro, X8, htc tatoo 1120 mAh, htc smart as well. In fact Moto charm have the battery manager that you find in the droid x, flipout, and coming up droid 2 for sure.

  • Look so simply, I must have.

  • doesnt look charming. but atleast it has capacitive, qwerty, wifi, all packed in a bar form factor. you wont have to worry about flex issues anymore.

  • The battery life does not look very pleasing. But I believe Motorola phones do good so...

  • It will look like having half of your old cell phone: you will get half the info on screen.

  • I really like the wide candybar form factor with a physical Qwerty keyboard. Its a MUST get for me. I have been really waiting for such a smartphone.

  • Great phone, love the form, the keyboard and wide display. The phone is small enough too, not to tall and quite thin. I'm not sure about resolution though. I like the 320x480 on my Magic, but it has 3.2" screen. Will 320x240 look good on 2.8" screen?

  • this is a very pretty device,i love the fact that its candybar shaped and has a touchscreen and physical qwerty keypad. i would love to get, not sure i trust the motorola brand though. that aside, the phone is really CHARMing.

  • well its looks proffisonal and when you compare it with Blacberry 9700 which i know very well, the only diffrence in negitve is the batttery power but all other spescfications are better than 9700. Do it your self and judge!! i hope it will be realesed sooooon.. finslly, motorella changed their statrtgy and is giving the customers some advantges copmared to the market prussuer phones featuers every seound you check.. :) Regards,

  • i think its prtty big and bulky but looks good

  • damn big...

  • It,s really charming according to the name CHARM. It has everything I need, the features so gooood. I am going to buy this one to add my phone collection

  • like what?

  • doesn't look charming. but I'll definitely buy this rather than getting an iphone4. at least this phone has all what i am looking for. capacitive touch screen, wifi, 3.5mm audio jack, huge qwerty keyboard, all in a bar form factor. slide and flip phones breaks easily.

  • This is not charming at all and it lacks many features...

  • Nice Motorola model but looks little bit bulky but the features are amazing. I like it. dMobilePhone

  • i need futures like b7730/b7750 charm need to study and improvement in this model

  • if you dont need the specs dont get the phone...simply buy a featurephone. these phones arent for everyone so stop nagging.

  • what's so bad about it? if it is a bit less wider, have a secondary camera, 5mp camera and is 30fps its would be soooooooooooo gooooood

  • so everyone needs such specs? even for a call and text phone? even if i don't need multitasking?

  • I also hate the touch keyboards.

  • badly needed a replacement for my nokia e61i, this seems to be appropriate. never fell for the updated nokia e71/72 because of the smallish size overall (small keyboard/keys, small screen).

  • I completely agree with you. I just hate touch keyboards...

  • This thing is another marvellous thing. Motorola doing big thing in android market, the people who were not comfortable with touchscreen phone. This phone is great gift to those people, this leaves you with the choice in android phone.

  • I do not have a square head or hands. And this may be the dimensions Motorola L7 or L9 to put this new technology? The market is the lack of a decent phone from Motorola's well-developed address book, fast Internet access and an extensive mailbox on the phone.

  • We are all saying the same thing. Droid X is high end but Charm is low end android which is good as you mention OMAP 600 mhz, 512 ram, 512 rom for a low end android is perfect. check I even compare it to sony ericsson x8 so i was just saying go moto for low end phone too. Thanks!

  • It's an entry level phone. It wasn't built to take on higher end phones. However, it does raise the bar for entry level phones with its great feature list and higher end specs.

  • Yeah kind of to reiterate what Droid Xtreme said. While this is being sold as an "entry level" Android phone, it has specs and feature that surpass a lot of other higher end models. This phone supports 802.11 b/g/ and n. Has the 600mghz cpu, which is faster than the g1 and the cliq/cliqxt and equals the Droid itself. Not to mention Android 2.1, motoblur, multitouch, a full keyboard on the front, flash lite, and twice as much onboard ram/rom than most other Android phones. The form factor also helps it appeal to current Blackberry users, like myself. The only thing that would perfect this phone is if it had a flash for the camera and supported UMA calling.

  • They named this CHARM!? How this could "CHARM" anyone? Even my granny wouldn't be CHARMed with this!

  • When I said "rest of the world" I meant the high tech, you know, the section you and I are in now, the high tech world! So although other retarded phones are below standards, I wasn't referring to those. I guess you want to belong to the retarded tech?!

  • Go moto an other low end android from moto call moto WX445 that think about everyone with high end phone Droid X and the unannounced moto WX445

  • Awesome phone ! I hope, keyboard will be as good, as in Nokia E72. If so, I will buy it for sure. This is hard time for Blackberry fanboys :D

  • is a cheap phone, Motorola is trying to sell the price advantage, not its facilities

  • The rest of the world is going for minimum of 1 ghz cpu, minimum of 3.5" screens and a larger battery life okay, I will put some latest phone with less specs. check this 1. Samsung Acclaim 2. htc wildfire 3. Sony Ericsson x8 http:www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x8-34­03.php now all this new phone have 3.5 inch, 1 ghz, video call? Please stop piss out people out and give me a break.

  • I have no idea what you are talking about. I wasn't comparing the old BB to the new MOTO. All I was saying is that it is 2010 and for the latest MOTO to come out with low specs is just inexcusable. You simply can't put out a phone in the middle-end of 2010 with 3mp camera, 2.8" inch screen (I understand it has a full key board but still too much space wasted on logos and unwanted siding), 600 mhz cpu no front camera, and expect to be different and competitive. The rest of the world is going for minimum of 1 ghz cpu, minimum of 3.5" screens and a larger battery life.

  • Motorola announced this week their latest mobile invention, Charm which will be featuring Android 2.1 and MotoBlur interface,

  • Compare first the two phones 2008 BB and Moto perfect now compare this both for 2010 you will notice the inch, camera, battery life, cpu on the new and old BB still almost the same. On the new BB could make even video call or have radio build in. Also notice the battery life with 1400 mAh only 5 h talk but Charm have 1170 mAh but 6h45 min talk. You must know phone aren't all the time high end product. If you wan't that kind of phone go for Droid X are you are just a hater.

  • to add to my specs from bottom comments, a flash, 5 mp camera as well. This is a thick enough and wide enough phone to be able to carry a heavier, longer life batter with all the extra storage capacity. A front camera for video chat won't hurt either.

  • I had an old 8900 BB 3 years ago and always dreamed of having a phone that had the full touch screen with the physical key board. Well this is close except the specs are very very disappointing. 3 MP camera!!! 6ooMHZ cpu!!! 512 mb rom. WHAT THE HELL was moto thinking. Or should I say they weren't thinking. Give me this phone with 1 ghz cpu, minimum of 3.5" screen, 2 gb rom, 1 gb ram, 1800 mhz battery and I'm sold. Otherwise don't waste my time.

  • Moto is the only one use the trackpad on his smartphones and this so usefull. Charm looks like a perfect BB with powerful OS android 2.1, CPU 600 mhz, 512 ram, 512 rom, up 16 M colors, Multitouch and Pinch zoom, Flash. This phone is able to carry Flash 10.1 like milestone.

  • Nice phone. Especially i like those onscreen messages... all the girls are exhausted but only man is still ready to go :)

  • i do agree wid u

  • This is what the Peek should have just done.

  • Should have been a non touch screen :(

  • chances to see him in Europe?

  • At least Moto aren't afraid of going a bit outside of the norm with their handset designs. As much as the Desires, the Galaxies and the iPhones are doing, their designs are becoming rather linear and bland. That said, I don't see why this couldn't have had a 5MP camera, it seems to be becoming the standard for these kinds of handsets.

  • Why nobody mentioned about the track pad in the back of the phone? I'm using Motorola Backflip and I really like the track pad, which eases navigation while using the qwerty. For me, this phone could be a good replacement of my old Q9, which I sold 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I won't be in US til next week, and I already got the Backflip.... And overall, I like "Flipout" better than this, as Flipout is easier in the pocket.

  • This phone have a battery manager so it is not a problem.

  • WHY for T-Mobile?! I want it!

  • C'mon Moto, it could've been better..

  • stand by time not good enough

  • Motorola CHARM is expected to be available this summer exclusively in the U.S. for customers of T-Mobile USA, Inc. The Charm getting lumped into a back to school sale featuring free phones on two-year contracts. The Phone off-contract should go for $269.99.

  • Who in 2010 releases a dual band HSDPA phone?

  • HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Charm, This phone has all the charm of a Swamp monster.... Think they should of named in the Motorola SHREK!!!

  • Picture is while it will be like a little bigger than blackberry

  • Am waiting to prove it.

  • Is it CHARM? whats the charm on it huh??

  • man that's wide.. and ugly..

  • The only thing this lacks is CHARM :p

  • I very really want to have one of this if can get it in China.

  • Calling your bluff... take a picture of you using it and post.

  • 3

  • the screen is only 240 X 320 resolution and the camera is only 3 mega pixels and has no flash. all in all for a small device like this it's still an amazing phone and though it's being rumored i have one already and trust me it's awe"frikin" some when it comes to performing, maybe not as hot looking as the other editions of Motorola line of phones but this phone is really great.

  • Motorola Charm to go for $150 on T-Mobile

  • doec this phone is a dual sim (gsm+gsm) mobile.please reply

  • Where is the Charm? Would need higher resolution for this big screen, also hard to fit in pocket because so wide.

  • going to be for T-Mobile USA

  • nice phone i like it

  • Precisely what I like, just throw the menu keys to the sides and make the screen 3inch.

  • What a hell is this?

  • f-u-g-l-y!

  • Are those keys real or is that one screen keyboard. The quality of this picture is quite misleading.

  • Phone is good and screen 2.8 inch is sufficient for business users but resolution is too less at least it should be 480x360.

  • It is excellent how much is the mega pixel

  • nice phone nice design and a little like blackberry phone's well done moto

  • really loved the design.. waiting for its launch in INDIA...

  • cool

  • it does not hav a seperate numpad...

  • this phone is coming with same spec like flipout

  • Does it have Wi-Fi, or is that unknown for the momment?

  • it is a pan or phone?

  • that`s the limit of how ugly motorola phones can be..

  • if comes with cheaper price than flipout...... will seriously considered bcos really need a wider qwerty smart phone.. let said more than 73.7mm but less than 80mm

  • Oh my god, what is that........

  • I love phone like this one! Not slider like it was in FlipOut just normal phone:)

  • Breakthrough design. Screen appears much bigger than for instance a BB. Like it, love it.

  • nice new design

  • Toy for kids...not lukin strong..

  • Whoa! 2.8 inch screen, horizontal, can't imagine how large this phone will be

  • another toy from MOTO

  • Lol toy smartphone for kids.
