Motorola debuts Charm phone

Motorola Inc. Wednesday announced the upcoming availability of Motorola Charm, a touch-screen smartphone that features social networking via Android 2.1, MotoBlur enhancements, a compact design and a Backtrack feature that makes screen navigation more intuitive.

Motorola Charm is expected to be available this summer exclusively in the United States from T-Mobile USA Inc.

The Backtrack navigation pad, on the back of the smartphone directly behind the home screen, is similar to a laptop touch panel and enables an unobstructed view of the Web, texts, e-mails and news feeds. With Android 2.1 and enhanced MotoBlur features, Charm offers new customization and filtering options.
