BAD: The Michael Jackson Cell Phone
Manufactured by one of the many Chinese imitation goods businesses referred to collectively as shanzai, this bling-bedecked mobile is encrusted with faux diamonds and comes with a most probably pirated Michael Jackson live performance DVD.
Of course it’s extremely “limited edition” and difficult to obtain outside of China. But if you had one? You could totally call on me.

Boom! And just like that, the XDA-Developers have rooted the Motorola Charm. The handset was rooted via the Universal Androot method, but the NAND isn’t unlocked during the process, so reverting back to stock is quite simple. No custom ROMS yet, but I am betting they are already in the pipeline. If you want instructions [...]
