Motorola Charm launches without UMA

T-Mobile officially launched their bargain chicklet texter, the Motorola Charm, today for just $74.99 on contract. Many of us were expecting “UMALite” support after seeing what appeared to be a pretty solid leak on the matter, but it looks as though Charm will not be T-Mobile’s first UMA-equipped Android. Nevertheless, the form factor alone assures this gadget a warm welcome among it’s target demographic, whether or not it can make those WiFi calls.

The Charm ships with Android 2.1 under MotoBlur and a 3MP camera. Motorola’s product page specifies an 1170mAh Li-ion battery, while T-Mobile’s indicates 1420mAh.
