Palm Centro Review

 |
We were very pleased with the call quality of the Centro. On both our end as well as the caller’s, voices were clear and rich, and even in fringe areas we were able to hold a conversation. The speakerphone performance was equally satisfying, and while users could tell we were using it they didn’t have any complaints about the quality. On our end it was loud and clear without any distortion. Battery life was rated for 210 minutes and we were able to achieve 213 minutes. Standby time is a more than generous 300 hours.
Conclusion:
Plain and simple, we really like the Palm Centro. The device feels great in your hand, call performance was admirable and as a smartphone there isn’t anything it can’t do. This phone is aimed at the “tweener” crowd- the 16-29 crowd who has never owned a smartphone- but given the robust support for both multimedia and business applications and the fantastic form-factor we expect this phone to appeal to anyone interested in the Palm OS. Oh, and the $99 pricetag might draw in a few users as well.
Pros
- Great size
- Low price point
- Full-featured Palm OS device
- Easy to use
- Good phone performance
Cons
- Palm OS is stable, but boring

I love it, it's small, easy to manage, does everything the treo can and doesn't take up too much space. Put a 2gb memory card and see the picture and camcorder capabilities expand. It's awesome.

Great features, gets better reception than my last phone by far. I was about to leave sprint but now with this phone i have coverage where i didn't before. The biggest negative is the size of the keyboard. Small buttons difficult to use and I have had problems with the touch screen freezing up now and then. The selector switch on mine had to be replaced once so far. Great size and has all the bells and whistles. One feature it does not work with, is a voice dial with a bluetooth device. Sprint offers voice command service but that is not compatible with the bluetooth headsets. My daughter's much less expensive phone does have this feature, this phone should.
