14 DAY TRIAL // Telus Canada has just announced the availability of the Motorola CHARM Android-based smartphone starting this week. Motorola CHARM comes with the critically-acclaimed Android operating system, as well as an enhanced version of Motorola’s Android experience, MOTOBLUR
Motorola CHARM is a social-centric smartphone, that integrates social networking services such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, all empowered by the newly improved MOTOBLUR interface.
The device also comes with a unique BACKTRACK navigation pad, located on the back of the smartphone directly behind the home screen, which works like a laptop touch panel, enabling an unobstructed view of the screen as you scroll through the web, texts, e-mails and news feeds.
