I've used many phones till now and Centro is one among them. The Centro's OS is better implemented and the phone is a lot snappier and lively in switching applications and operating. It's got a simple interface which is very easy to use. However the battery is very bad and I found keypad very small and uncomfortable to use.
The phone is fast and easy to use and it comes with good set of features like high speed Internet, email, IM, messaging, blue tooth, a good mp3 player. The screen is big and there are thousands of free add on programs available and also lots of personalization.
Am very pleased with the new Centro which has improved a lot than it's previous versions and pre-installed IM and Google Maps come in very handy at times. It looks very refreshing and the screen is more vibrant. Once again Palm's battery life disappointed me and keyboard is definitely smaller.
Palm Centro is a great phone to buy. Well I've seen most of them complaining about the keyboard but I type just fine and have average guys hands. Google maps is great and even the mp3 player is awesome. Speaker phone is loud and even the sound quality is good on both sides.
