T-Mobile USA looks like they're just about ready to release the Motorola Charm. This Android-based smartphone will clearly be hitting the carrier for $269.99 contract-free and for $74.99 on a 2-year contract - as expected. Keep in mind that the unit pictured above is just a dummy unit, but you can expect it to actually be released in a few days / weeks.

There's really not much to tell you here. The Motorola Charm has just been spotted in the wild. It should be hitting T-Mobile USA in the near future. Apparently, on the back of the handset you'll find a touchpad - like you'll find on the Backflip - and the display is about 3-inches. Look out for it towards the end of this month.

The leaked ad you see above fully tells us that T-Mobile will be cutting the prices on a bunch of handsets right before school starts. This includes the Samsung :), the Gravity T, the Gravity 3, and the Motorola Charm (or Basil). The first three handsets are actually available on the carrier right now but they're not free on a 2-year contract. The last handset is Android-based and it hasn't even been made official yet, so look out for it soon. It should be launching for $74.99 on a 2-year contract though.

It looks like some possible T-Mobile USA prices have just leaked out. In the image above it says that the Motorola Charm (which may turn out to be the Basil) will be available for $74.99 on a 2-year contract and for $269.99 contract-free. Judging by the high price of the Samsung Supersonic, it's probably T-Mobile's Galaxy S variant - the Vibrant. Apparently, it'll be going for $499.99 contract-free. It's just starting to get exciting.

As you can see from the picture above a new handset should be headed to T-Mobile USA. The document clearly shows a smartphone and it looks a whole lot like the Motorola Charm. Apparently, the smartphone will hit T-Mobile with just about the worst name possible, the Motorola Basil. Oh well, it is just a name...
