Microsoft tries to keep Motorola from importing phones it's no longer selling anyway

Look at the list of Motorola smartphones that Microsoft has dragged out before the International Trade Commission in hopes of blocking future imports, and you can't help but chuckle.

If you've got a Motorola Flipout or Motorola Charm and are staying up nights waiting for a Froyo update, time to pour yourself a glass of milk, fluff the pillows and head to bed. It ain't gonna happen. Motorola just updated its increasingly less popular update timeline chart and broke the bad news -- the Charm and Flipout "will remain on Android 2.1." It's not that big a surprise, we suppose,...

You can have it in golden bronze, or you can have it in cabernet -- but either way, you can have the Motorola Charm on T-Mobile today for a mere $74.99 after contract and rebate.

We also have pricing: $75 after the usual contract and rebate stuff.
