This is going to sound a little like a total bummer for anyone who has a Motorola Charm, or Flipout, but here it goes… Motorola won’t be dishing out any Froyo goodness for those devices. There, I said it.

Motorola released an updated version of their update timeline chart, and it isn’t going to happen for the Flipout or Charm stating they “will remain on Android 2.1.”

We feel for you. But…it’s a great reason to sell that off to some teenager, and grab yourself a new fancy Gingerbread smartphone…oh wait…if you have one of these, you might be a teenager already. Jokes!

    Really a shame they don’t update to 2.2. I love my flipout device!!
    Is there any any any way to go around this? Can I cloak my flipout device into a thirteen in a dozen other model so they get it and update ;-) ?
    Or is there a way to keep installing apps in android market? And how? 
    Genuine cry for help……
