Motorola Charm coming to T-Mobile with 'enhanced' Android 2.1 Motoblur? Update promised for CLIQ and CLIQ XT?

Usual rules apply -- we can't independently confirm this at the moment -- but a tipster has sent us what appears to be T-Mobile training materials for an upcoming Motoblur-infused candybar smartphone, the Motorola Charm. Only this Motoblur is allegedly powered by Android 2.1 and boasts the same scalable widgets as we saw on Droid X, in addition to improved Facebook / Twitter integration (hello, Like and Retweet) and the usual Eclair refinements.As far as the hardware is concerned, there isn't much to glean from it at this point, aside from a textured QWERTY keyboard reminiscent of the CLIQ and a "camera" button denoting some form of memory-capturing capabilities. Speaking of which, the materials mention that the enhanced Motoblur is heading to CLIQ and CLIQ XT. Let us bookend this entire post with another reminder that none of this is confirmed, but we do know more than a few T-Mobile users who would love to get their mitts on a candybar Android.

I still hate how Google hasn't regulated the positioning 4 (or 3 in
this case). I need to adjust myself to the layout when ever I mess with my brothers Eris from my native Droid. They don't even look the same for crying out loud. I'm up for manufacturer freedom, but there need to be some guidelines

Nice form factor, actually nice for people who are right handed, it's really cool hope the hardware too is good material

All I ever hear from iphonebots is how the NDS and the PSP are in trouble because phones are eating into the gaming market.


Maybe this would be possibly remotely true if the damn things had any sort of halfway decent game control for something that isn't a glorified flash game.

How about an Android device with a fricking d-pad and a couple of buttons...you know, for gaming...instead of this update of the WMO 6.0 Motorola Q97 I have in my pocket right now...
