Answer 1

I currently have a palm centro. I enjoy the phone (though i am having a problem with it right now, but it could be due to 3rd party software). The pros on the centro are that you can view/edit word/powerpoint/exel docs. It also has a full keyboard. You can expand the memory by adding a microSD card and there are great apps out there for the phone (both free and for purchase). The cons are the that keyboard is REALLY small...sometimes I press the wrong numbers.It is a small phone that can fit in your pocket, but that means that the screen is not that big either.

I have heard that people prefer the BB curve to the Pearl (just do a search of yahoo answers and you will see). As for upcoming phones....try going to cnet.com
