    Great Phone
    I had a Samsung blackjack. It was a good phone but windows mobile is-windows! After awhile the phone would freeze. I would have to reboot it. I picked the centro because I was familiar with palm os and knew it was stable. It is also much faster than the samsung. I don't need push email and the like but i do text and msg and this phone makes it easy!

    I recently got the palm centro from Verizon and all I have to say is WOOOOW!!!!The Qwerty keyboard may be small,but so what!I enjoy the camera/camcorder,text messaging and everything else!My friend and I were going to purchase the new iphones,but since we were unable to upgrade our phonesuntil 2009,we both agreed to switch carriers and get a new phone-the palm centro.

    I have owned a Treo 650 for the 2 1/2 yrs prior. Have had my Centro since March. I love the apps. The storage it comes with is a huge plus but you can also get a micro SD card and have even more storage for all your pics and videos. I have no trouble with the smaller keyboard, just had to get use to how to hold it in my hand/hands while typing. It's too small for 2 hands but when you need to use the keyboard, 2 comes in handy. The battery life is ok. I just know to charge it every night and it has no problem lasting through the day. I love having my calendar and my memos with me at all times. I would give the Palm Centro a 5 out of 5.

    Great PHONE!!!!!!
    Been on the fence abt the Centro & finally picked one up & have not looked back. The Centro has replaced the Moto Q9C in my daily phone arsenal. I carry it alongside an IPhone & amazingly, the Centro MORE than holds its' own. I think Palm is on the right track with the Centro.

    Outstanding Phone and iSync Support Out of the Box
    This phone is an excellent upgrade both in size and performance from the 700p. No skipping on ptunes at all. THe size is fantastic. To the person who insists there is no iSync support, check with Apple. There is an iSync conduit that is part of Palm Desktop. You need to enable it for your Centro and then you can sync your Centro with your Apple Address Book and iCal. I wish the battery life were better but if I keep it plugged in when I am at work, it is not a big deal. All of my old Treo accessories work with it, so that has been a huge money saver. I highly recommend this phone to newbies and experienced smartphone people alike. You will not be disappointed.
