Bluetooth

Bluetooth worked okay on the Motorola Charm. I had no trouble pairing with my Bluetooth headset, but reception suffered during calls, and the sound frequently dropped in and out. Sound quality was much better paired with a set of stereo Bluetooth speakers for music playback. I was also able to send picture files from the image gallery over Bluetooth without trouble, and I could upload files from my laptop to the phone over the Bluetooth connection.

Clock

The Motorola Charm has plenty of clocks. There is a clock on the lock screen, though it is somewhat small for my taste. An even smaller clock persists in the notification bar up top through most apps. You can add clock widgets to the homescreen panels, including a custom sized Motorola clock widget. Unfortunately, making that widget larger does not produce a larger clock, but rather creates a lot of open space, and adds a calendar, if you go really big. There is also an app with an alarm clock and a countdown timer.

 

GPS

The Motorola Charm uses the free Google Maps app for turn-by-turn navigation. GPS worked very well on this phone. It found my location quickly, both in Google Maps and while geotagging my photos. Navigation followed me on my journey with no trouble, guiding me back to my route when I got lost.
