Absolutely nothing. It's too big to be a small PDA phone, to small to be practical, the keyboard is so cramped it's essentially useless, and it feels like the cheap POS that it actually is. Other than that it's a great phone.

Too big? It's one of the smallest PDA's out there. The keyboard looks cramped but even guys with sausage fingers have no issue using it once you get used to using the top/tip of your thumbs. For the price, this is a great choice for those looking to for a cheaper alternative to other touch screen PDA's.

I assume you were replying to my post. I'll try to respond to you, though without punctuation, it's kind of hard to tell what you were saying. Smartphones in the last few years have gotten either smarter or smaller or both. Palm has done neither and thus failed to innovate and lead the industry anymore. If you want a cheap toy, get a Centro. If you want quality and innovation, Blackberry, iphone, or any non-Palm windows mobile is the way to go.

Agreed. Although I'm not an iPhone fan, I'd get one before I got a Palm product hands down. Blackberry is what I prefer.

Cant say I dont agree with you about CDMA being more reliable than GSM. I can say GSM phones are better than CDMA phones due the fact that you can switch your sim to any phone you want and the fact that GSM is available Internationally make the palm eve more appealing to business people that need a phone to work overseas. I like the palm and I DO in fact have one, it is a great phone with the exception of the outdated OS. Otherwise it is a good phone.

I agree with you about the SIM cards...they are WAY easier to deal with. People complain about losing them, btu heres an idea: DON'T LOSE IT! The cards can't persuade me enough to go to GSM, though. GSM= more convenient CDMA= better coverage and reliability I think CDAM wins

Who's C DAM? .. sorry bad joke. When it comes to the Centro, the processor is a lot slower due to the fact that it is a smaller phone. Other than that, the phone's is waaay to small for typing and the OS is the same as the Treo 755p. This is info from my Palm rep. Overall, go Blackberry

Odd. Sprint has sold a million of them. I imagine that they will sell even better on a real network.

I just confirmed with a VZW operator that the Centro will be released on Friday, June 13th. But she wasn't sure about what rebates if any will be available for the phone. The phone will be $269.99, less my NE2 credit, the phone would be $169.99. Does any know, or can they confirm whether there will be any rebates (mail in or instant), and whether the phone will qualify for the Advanced Device Credit?
