motorola has officially announced the charm, their latest android powered mobile phone. the new device
separates itself from the crowd with of full portrait qwerty keyboard that sits right below a 2.8 inch touch
screen. this unique format isn’t often seen on mobiles and provides plenty of space for typing. the phone
has another unique feature called backtrack which is a touch sensitive interface on the rear of the camera
which enables the user to take control while comfortably holding the phone in their hands. the phone also
has a few of the features expected of a smart phone including a 3 megapixel camera, wifi and a noise
canceling second microphone. the phone will be released soon in select markets.

i don't understand how it is an iphone knock-off . . . it doesn't have the same format, functionality, appearance of an iphone

Soon to be featured in a landfill nearest you. Will the obsession with the cellphone never end?

p.s. I am NOT a Luddite.

I think hair_piece was probably referring to the metal band that goes around it, coupled with the black front.

It seems like, with a dedicated hardware keyboard, it would be best targeted towards business users—probably could've chosen a better screenshot to display on it, in that case. "Still recovering… too many parties!"
