Motorola Charm Review - Android Phone Reviews by MobileTechReview
just take a look at the Motorola Charm...Its greater than average width affords more room for the very good hardware keyboard, and the wide sides are easy to grip...The Charm is a low to mid-range Android smartphone that runs Android OS 2.1 Eclair...Those MOTOBLUR widgets are sized down to suit the Charm and thus they display very abbreviated (err, useless) social network...

Motorola Charm Review - Watch CNET's Video Review
The Motorola Charm is a slim and portable handheld with a roomy keyboard and decent call quality...It comes with Android 2.1, a full HTML browser with Flash...The display on the Charm is not as vibrant as most other Android phones, and the small screen real estate...Though the Backtrack works as advertised, we didn't think it was necessary, and though we like that Motorola...

Motorola Charm (T-Mobile) - A Review of the Motorola Charm (T-Mobile)
Good physical keyboard; Runs Android 2.1; Includes two batteries in the box...Low 320 x 240-pixel resolution ; Motoblur runs a bit slow ; Some popular apps don't run or look weird;...When you name a phone "Charm," it sure as heck better work like one...However, the Charm's low-resolution screen and sluggish performance make this handset less compelling than T-Mobile's...

First Looks: Motorola CHARM - HardwareZone.com
The new Motorola Charm chooses the former as its selling point...At just 110g and 30mm shy of being a perfect square, the Charm fits snugly in our palms...Occupying slightly more than one-third of the Charm's length, the keys are closely spaced for maximum effect...However, that doesn't resolve the visibly slow screen transition and apps switching we experienced...
