This small compact phone offers a lot for its sizes. You can Dial people right from your address book. or set up three-way calls with the touch of a button. Offers Instant messages on your buddy lists on AIM, Windows Live Messenger, or Yahoo! I like the Google map feature: On the My Location feature, you can quickly see your approximate location on the map—without needing to enter a ZIP code or street name. Which is pretty cool when you are in a hurry. Only thing I don't like is the key board. Wish it was a little bigger. It does have a STYLUS that you can use that helps a bit. ( I give it a 4.5 rating due to the small keyboard) It has a awesome built in MP3 player which is pretty neat..With 64MB of storage, there's plenty of room for your play lists. With the Pocket Tunes Deluxe 7 you can listen to songs you download from places like Rhapsody or Yahoo! Cool! huh? This is a nice Smartphone with touch screen and full, small keyboard. It has some cool functions and the camera is not bad either. Here are the Specifications * Display: 320x320 pixel Transferability color touchscreen, supports 16-bit color (up to 65K colors) * Radio: GSM/GPRS/EDGE class 10 radio, quad band world phone(850/900/1800/1900MHz) * Platform: Palm OS by ACCESS 5.4.9 * Bluetooth Wireless Technology: Version 1.2 * Memory: 64MB available user storage * Camera:1.3 megapixel with 2x digital zoom and video capture * Battery: Removable 1150mAh, lithium-ion Up to 4 hours talk time, or up to 300 hours standby time * Expansion:micro SD card (up to 4GB supported) * Connector:Multi-connector * Dimensions:Length: 4.22", Width: 2.11", Depth: 0.73", Weight: 4.4 oz * Colors:Electric Blue, Obsidian, Glacier * System Requirements:Windows XP, Windows Vista™, Mac OS X v10.2-10.4 * Software on device: Bluetooth, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Camcorder, Contacts, Documents to Go Professional Edition 10, VersaMail 4.0, Hot-sync, Instant Messaging, Memos, My Centro, Phone, Pics & Video, Pocket-tunes Deluxe, Quick Tour, Tasks, Web(Blazer 4.5), Voice Memo, World Clock Messaging, Push to Talk, Xpress Mail, Voice Dial.

When my Blackberry died I was in desperate need for a phone fast. Since the BB was only a few months old and babied, but died anyway, I decided not to go that route. Instead I tried a Palm. I couldn't be happier! Should have bought a Palm from the start. Very simple to use, and does more than my Blackberry would. Plus, no extra fees to use a seperate service! The only issue I have is it's easy to bump the touchscreen with my cheekbone while talking, accidently muting the phone or putting people on hold. But it's a small thing for an excellent phone. You can set up TONS of favorite buttons to any application, service or website on the main screen, making it easy to get to anything you need at the touch of a button. Qwerty buttons are small, but they are on all phones. Touchscreen works great. Didn't think I'd like having to pull out a stylus everytime I used it, but it's second nature after only a couple of weeks, and many things are accessable with a finger, or the directional keys. My wife tried it and now she wants one too. When it's time to upgrade I will stick with a Palm, they definately design their phones with the user in mind.Read full review
I really like this phone! It's compact, but still allows me to do all I need to do. I have heard complaints in the past about the keys being smaller and closer together than on the palm treo, which I had prior to this one, but I was able to adjust pretty quickly. The screen is smaller but it's easy to get used to. The ringtone selection is much better than treo and the speaker volume is great. I don't like the fact that I can't download music directly to it. I have to download to a computer and then download to the phone. Which is just like my treo. I had been hoping with a new and improved model that maybe the music downloads would be different. And I hate that it resets at times. Other than that, I really like it a lot. It's small but great for document storage, web surfing, email/text and talk. It really gets the job done in a much more compact and stylish package but has all the features plus some of the palm treo.Read full review
I will jump right in to it. The Centro has a small QWERTY keyboard(keypad) which is farely easy to type on for me. It has a good touchscreen, decent size and okay resolution. I however do not like the fact of how difficelt it is to get your email up and running, my device is for verizon and the wireless sync will simply not let me sync my email and i dont know if it is always like that or if i need to contact verizon to take care of the problem. The browser(blazer) is nice, it is fast and gets the job done. The operating system is just right, its fast, easy to utilize and is dynamic. The centro is lagging behind in the multimedia department though, it has only a 2.5mm headphone jack and i can not find a facebook app for it. Despite the shortcomings i will say it is a good device because it does what it says and it is a very straight forward easy device that is good for kids, adults, and buisness users.Read full review
I'm hooked on Palm PDAs. So I saw the Centro as a chance to get rid of the PDA and do both on the cell phone. The screen is very small, and the power port is a weak link. When I got my old Centro from Verizon, it wasn't necessary to have a data plan for texting. After about two years of pocket wear and knocking around, the charging port became fragile, meaning that I had to sit and hold the plug "just right" so it would charge for around 1.5 hr/day. That situation didn't last too long. First I went to Verizon (VZ); they wanted to renew my contract for two years and give me some other phone. No, I want my centro, but I want it to charge up. Then they wanted to sell me a battery $40+tax+shipping ($8 for two on eBay+0tax+0shipping). But the battery didn't solve the problem, so I decided to buy a used Centro. (I'm close to retirement and don't want a 2yr commitment! VZ wanted $149+tx+sh for a replacement without contract.) The new Centro ($63+0+0) worked just fine; was in good shape and it charged on its own! Verizon 611 service got the new phone up and running in five minutes with no complaining that I didn't buy it from them. A little duct tape can keep the pocket lint out of the charging port. The keyboard is "tactile" to your fingernails--'way too small for your fingers. The coating of the keys is so shiny that it's hard to find the special characters like + / * $ ! . So touch typing is definitely out. Pros: it's a Palm PDA!!!, it's light, it's loud enough, it works well with bluetooth. Can send&receive pictures and text while talking on the phone! Good touchscreen dialing pad. Good tech support from VZ & Palm. Cons: Verizon stores are the pits--keep away! Battery drain is significant; must charge daily, especially in weak signal areas. Shiny key coverings. Small screen. Poor design of charging port. Low-res camera. My Palm PDA isn't lost. When my cell phone days are over, my trusty T|X is standing by to keep me organized.Read full review
