Palm Centro

I am a long-time former Treo user--and I most recently owned the blue 755p. Despite some people complaining about the size of the Treos, I like having a larger phone--I have big hands and I'd break any flip phone that was not ruggedized. I was also initially put off by the Centro's keyboard--but I tried it for about 20 minutes at a Sprint store, and I was really impressed how accurate I was...the learning curve really isn't that bad if you give it a chance. Also, I was attracted to the fact that in Jan, Palm released a VersaMail update for the Centro only, that allows Gmail to work properly--I'm big on email and texting, and I never got Gmail to work right on the 755p. Also it includes pTunes Deluxe, which would cost money to get Deluxe on the Treo. I'm also spoiled by a touch screen, so it's a must for me now. When I use my g/f's BlackJack I find myself tapping the non-touchscreen...oops. Habit. I like the form factor a bunch. The phone is nice and loud, like I've come to expect from Palm's products. A huge plus. Finally, the form factor is okay...which it had a grippy back, rather than the slippery plastic...it's only a matter of time before it takes a tumble...but I'm buying a screen protector just in case.

This one does it all--and has some amazing features...so I'm happy going from a Treo to a Centro.

This is a great phone for the price. It is small but very user friendly. You would think the qwerty keyboard would be to tiny to type but it works great. All the software extras that are included are a big bonus. I bought a hard rubberized case to give the phone some weight and grip because it is a little slippery. The only negative I have is the battery drains if you use the web alot or are a heavy email user. Other than that you are not going to get a better bang for the buck!!!

I absolutely love this phone!! I got in on Christmas Eve, and didn't even look at my gifts! I was floored at the amount of software that comes on this phone and it only costs $99! This was a great investment. They just came out with the pink on Jan. 14 and I called Sprint to see if I can exchange, and I can! So now I'm excited to have the phone I want in the color I want!!!

I bought a palm centro after 2 years of using a regular cell phone and I am impressed. I like the fact that it has lots of software and features including music and tv.

Things I liked:The sound/image quality is good and the internet is very fast. Some say the centro looks plasticy. I disagree, it looks rather professional. The keyboard is small but very convenient. Compared to other phones with these features, the centro is very cheap.

Some things I didn't like: The stylus is very thin and flimsy, and phone calls are soft. Also, the battery doesn't last very long.

Overall, I say the centro was a great decision for my first smart phone.
