Motorola Charm!

---

This is a seriously sweet little phone. There doesn't appear to be any other threads about it on XDA so I thought I'd start this one, and with some good news:

Universal Androot works.
/system is mountable as rw.



It's perfect for a bit of Pokémon

does anyone know if this will get at&t 3g?

AT&T have the Flipout which is basically the same phone with a weirder design.

Sad to say I might actually wind up returning the phone.

I LOVE the form factor and performance is good enough, but...
Theres 2 big issues
I can't keep an internet connection, it's constantly dropping and not getting picked up again unless I reboot or reactivate and deactivate airplane mode.
The colors on the screen are sooo washed out. It looks like 8 bit color, it look's like there's a bright version and dark version of each color.

This is a hard decision

You're right, the terrible screen is my main problem with the phone... not having any internet connection problems though, that's odd.

do any roms work on the charm? it's technically a motorola device so i'm tempted to just try one of those roms but don't wanna brick it only a couple hours after buying it.

I don't think so, it's QVGA after all.

Oh it's QVGA? I was never sure. I like the Charm as a device, I just don't like Motoblur or Motorola for that matter. Motorola doesn't give a **** about non Americans, here's hoping someone finds a way to make a custom ROM for this device.

ugh, I think the Charm is a seriously ugly little phone. Terrible screen and crippled with Motoblur which makes it seriously lagged. No thanks.

Yeah the T-Mobile Charm is butt ugly, the Telus Charm however is much better looking- no bright green text on the keyboard and it's all black instead of that bronze/brown bezel. It's not THAT laggy, it's less laggy than the LG Ally/Shine Plus.
