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.

FINALLY! A one-hand smartphone for email, IM, and calendar. |
I have been waiting a long time for a "lite" version of a Palm phone, since Sprint discontinued the Samsung i500. I had one and loved the Palm OS and clamshell design (didn't love the lack of SMS and few bugs). When it died, I couldn't quite pony up the big bucks for a Treo, so settled for a Razor. Well, with no sync capability to my calendar and contacts, it was pretty much useless in that regard.
The Centro does what it does well - phone, contacts, calendar, email (from Yahoo, GMail, and comcast POP accounts), IM, web access for sports scores, movies, maps.
This is not a phone for folks who need to email and send docs all day long (get a Treo or Blackberry), but for the rest of us, who may need to check/send a quick email during a lunch appointment, check scores during long meetings, etc.
Screen is a little small and yes, it doesn't have the WOW factor of the iPhone, but for those of us who are handcuffed to Sprint, it's a great choice.

Fantastic Update to a 650 |
I love my new Palm Centro. Smaller, lighter, cuter than my 650. A nice update that includes EVDO for faster downloads. The smaller keyboard is taking some getting used to, but I'm adapting quickly. For anyone with a 650 looking for an update, this one's a no-brainer.
