Motorola finally confirmed what we’ve been expecting for the last few weeks, a new MOTOBLUR handset is headed for T-Mobile.  Officially dubbed the CHARM, it is the first device in the United States to come with the new version of MOTOBLUR.  Features include a 2.8-inch touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, and a BACKTRACK navigation pad on the back of the handset.  Much like it does for the Backflip, the pad allows for an unobstructed view of the screen for a better browsing, texting, and gaming experience. Other features found in the phone include Adobe Flash Lite, a 3-megapixel camera, pinch zooming, multi-touch, and corporate email capability.

The Android 2.1-powered CHARM is officially due “this summer” which could mean any day now.  Unfortunately a price wasn’t announced for the device but we’re hearing both $75 after rebate as well as free for back-to-school promotions.

I’ll spare you guys a bunch of long-winded paragraphs and get right to the point.  The HTC EVO 4G is the best phone you can buy for your money right now.  Coupled with Sprint’s rate plans, there is really not much to even debate.  From the gorgeous, and massive screen to the speedy 1GHz processor, it easily bests my previous Android experiences.  I am not going to bore you with head-to-head match ups or specific test here.  There’s plenty of the detailed stuff to be found online already.  No, I will simply tell you about the things that stick out.  My gut tells me that you guys are a lot like me.  Your usage changes from day to day and you just want to know the big picture.
