I have this phone, and in most cases I love it, because it is a very well designed and executed device. I mainly use the texting and music playing features, both of which work in beautiful ways. The music player is customizable to nearly no end, and it works surprisingly well, despite what one...

First off, let me say that I really like Palm. Even though it's hopelessly out-of-date, I've always had a place in my heart for the Palm OS. The Centro is for the most part a good device. The keyboard is comfortable, the speakers are loud and clear, and the interface, although basic and...

I bought the first Centro unlocked for my girlfriend. It was crashing a lot and muting the microphone randomly for a couple of seconds on every call. After a decent bug tracking in the forums and as much cross testing I could do... I bought a second one dirt cheap at €100. The second phone...

I bought my centro about 2 years ago. At the time it was to replace a Treo. The phone is small and sleek. At the time, Palm was still supporting the OS, and it had been around for so long, that there were apps available that handled most of my needs. The web browser suffers, as it is unable...

The Palm Centro was my first smartphone even though I did not use at as such, in that I didn't have a data plan. My assignment of 7 for the rating is based mostly upon the solid PDA features when combined with its less-than-stellar cellphone operations. Were I assigning a value based upon...

I was looking for a phone that was simple to use for maintaining contacts and a calendar, and the Centro is perfect. I was not looking for a data plan, and Verizon provided the ability to own the Centro without a data plan. The phone works great, and the phone easily syncs with my computer. I...

I love this phone... I seamlessly migrated from an older Palm Tungsten. The only bad thing is using it with Verizon.. the data plan is way overpriced and pay-as-you-go is impractical. Bluetooth syncing is very simple to set up. The chat-style sms is awesome because you can see everything in the...

The Palm Centro is an incredible smartphone for its price. It has the full power of the (albeit old, but still well-supported) Palm OS, packed inside a very compact smartphone body. Just like the other Palm OS-based phones, it has no problem with syncing data via Microsoft Outlook (which, I might...

Was using mine for almost two years. I got mine at launch and this is the first phone I actually love. Now defunct PalmOS is not going to win any prizes in the looks department but what it lacks in flashiness, it makes up in snappiness. And, with a few hacks, the looks and even functionality can...

I have had this phone a little over a year. I would like to start off by saying that if I was giving this review about 5 to 6 months ago this phone would easily score at least a 9 with the only complaint being some gripes about the OS itself. Software: The OS is decent, nothing spectacular, but...

I should mention that i have been a loyal palm customer starting with the palm pilot, palm III, sony clie, treo 650 and now the centro. but i dont think my next phone will be a palm even though the pre looks tempting. this mainly because my employer does not really offer good email and PIM...

Not going to stand up against the onslaught of modern smart phones, but back in the day, this was a GREAT smartphone. It was light weight, easy to use and it had a huge selectiion of Palm OS 5 and older apps at its disposal.

Returned it. Uses the old Palm OS (not WebOS)
