Motorola Charm and T-Mobile Basil are the same thing

Just yesterday we saw some leaked shots of the Motorola Charm and there was speculation that the Charm was in fact the same as the Motorola Basil that we've seen leaked in the past.  Today TmoNews came to the rescue, ending all of the speculation with one photo.  The picture, received from a "reliable source," shows a device labeled the "T-Mobile Motorola Basil" that looks exactly the same as the photos of the Charm that we saw yesterday.  It's unclear whether the final device will be called Charm or Basil, but at least we know they're both one and the same.  We also don't know any sort of release date or price, but I'm sure that info will be along shortly.

If I were to guess, I think that T-Mobile and Motorola will end up calling the device Charm.  It's small and looks like something that could fit on a charm bracelet.  I think it's interesting how Moto can keep cranking out handsets with, ahem, "interesting" form factors like the Flipout and Charm while coming out with stuff like the DROID X at the same time.  So, are any of you T-Mobile users planning on picking up the Charm/Basil whenever it's released?
