It's official: the T-Mobile Charm has been confirmed by Motorola in a press release. The device first leaked about a week and a half ago, but we also knew it would be free in an upcoming back-to-school promotion.

The Charm, which is squarish with a QWERTY keyboard (non-slide-out!), reminds folks of a BlackBerry (somewhat). Not much in the way of hardware specs has been revealed, but it seems to be a low-to-mid-range device, with Android 2.1, MotoBlur, a 2.8" screen, and a 3 megapixel camera. It definitely falls into what some might call the "cute" range, as well.

The form factor provides the first Android device with a built-in (non-slider) keyboard and a QVGA display (320 x 240 resolution). It will be interesting to see how Android apps, which have been focused on the tall, portrait displays of Android devices until now, run on this device. Click the above image to see a larger one.

Neither date nor pricing was announced, but it will be exclusive to T-Mobile, and will launch sometime this summer.
