COVER YOUR EYES! Motorola appears to be having a go at capturing itself a bit of the BlackBerry market with this – the Motorola CHARM. It’s a bit top-heavy, to say the least.
According to Engadget today, news of the CHARM comes courtesy of a few leaked images from a T-Mobile US training document, which reveals a comically wide Android handset complete with landscape-format, squared screen and all-out QWERTY beneath it.
Scroll down if you are brave:
That’s mad. Even for Motorola, that’s mad. But could it work? The usability of an always-out QWERTY keyboard would clearly beat a touchscreen for text entry, and the one puzzling hardware hole Android is yet to fill is a decent BlackBerry clone. Good on you for trying at least, Moto.

It reminds me of the nasty NEC QWERTY things that 3 were doing when they first started.
