I am getting a black Palm Centro yay! ?

Question

What are some pros and cons about the phone? What would you rate the Palm Centro?

thanks!

Answer 1

If I were you, and you were able, I'd wait for the Blackberry Thunder due out in a couple of months.  It's supposed to have all the features of an Iphone, Palm Treo/Centro, LG Dare.  It'll be Blackberry's first touchphone with a 3.2 mpxl camera, 3G, bluetooth, wi-fi, tons of 3rd part software, etc.  But, this phone will be exclusive only for Verizon and Vodaphone.  However, if they don't meet the sales quota, they'll open it up for other carriers.  I suggest you look into it.

I have the Palm Treo 700p.  Keeps freezing and locking up. Might be because I have tons of 3rd party software though.  Still, very frustrating.

Answer 2

That's what I have.

I like it okay.  It's a lot better than my last phone, at least.  The only thing that bugs me is that the sound quality of the speaker phone is horrible.  The sound quality when you're not on speaker is about average.

My wife's Centro, on the other hand...her screen is scratched up from using the stylus (I just use my fingernail).  We've only had them since April or May.  And hers likes to reboot randomly for some reason, maybe every other day.

Update after reading "Go Navy"'s response - yeah, ours didn't come with the protective films on the screen.  I guess we should go get some of those.

Answer 3

I haven't really had any serious issues with the phone and I LOVE it actually.  It is my first PDA and I am definitely now a lifelong customer.  I am not sure about how the guy above's wife was about to scratch her screen up with the stylus.  My Palm's screen came with a a protective film on it-I have Sprint.  The "con" to the phone would be that it gets knicked up easily.  The material used to make it is not the best.  So BUY A CASE and/or a Face plate.

Answer 4

Racist!!! you should say "African American Palm Centro" I can’t believe how intolerant some people are.
