I use to work for Palm so let me sum this up for you: the company, the product roadmap, Ed Colligan and the Centro: A BIG FAT JOKE

they couldn’t make a smartphone if their life depended on it!

The Centro is what the treo should have turned into years ago. Thats sad since if you pay list for one (about $200) its still more functional and easier to use then any other phone at that price except for maybe the new Iphone. But then again list may be in the $200 range but through Sprint/Verizon/At&t you can get it for between 39 and 59 bucks. Almost forgot I am typing this on a Centro, pardon the typos I did not go back and fix.

you act like its a terrible device. the palm centro might have a crapping keyboard and an aging os, but it is a very reliable device and the os isn’t that bad. its easy to use and its pretty powerful. in fact its so easy that i gave one to my mother as a present and she got use to it in a week. it was her first smartphone. i think this is a very great deal.

It is not very appealing, is thin and not very wide, but keyboard is way to small and hard to type on

This thing looks like it should have a Fisher Price label on it instead of Palm. “Baby’s First Smart Phone”

Really? They dropped $100 off the Tilt? Shit, what idiot would buy an iPhone now?

Anyway, the thought of crying iPhone customers makes me smile…there goes me winning the iPhone 3G giveaway!!! (awwww, damn)

Yes, the Tilt is a better overall device and is on sale right now for $199 (no rebates in the business channel!) Obviously it is to coincide with the iphone…

And yes, Best Buy does offer these (and many others from time to time) for a lower price. it’s a buying deal from AT&T I imagine. Heck, for awhile – Walmart had the BlackBerry pearl for $18.88! and that was IN STORE. (not the online third party dealer that they contract with….)

I’d pick up the Tilt… if HTC didn’t screw the pooch on video.

Though it may still run the outdated Palm OS, and yes, the buttons are a bit small…

This is still a powerful device. The Palm OS is easier to sync and easier to operate than Windows Mobile.

The Centro is a perfect fit in your hands – not big and bulky.

The Centro really does make a nice device to enter into the realm of PDA phones if you’re looking to do that. Especially for those that don’t want too much of a learning curve! The icon format (just like the iPhone) makes operating this phone quick and easy to pick up.

I wouldn’t slam it too hard.

Though – yes, I am still wishing I had waited for the iphone!!! (3 months into a contract on a Moto Q.)

The article was posted more than a half hour ago and there are no comments (er…); that pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?
