@Natasha: “should i get the palm centro or palm pre?”

WebOS is the most promising thing coming out of Palm in years, its going to change everything for the better regarding Palm products. If you can wait a little longer (considering your post is from April) I’d wait until the Centro 2 comes out later this year (fingers crossed), other wise get the Pre. In any case you could do worse than a Centro.

@backbeat: “Let’s hear it for Palm’s _Fisher_Price_Kiddie_Toy…”

Ok, aside from the fact that the Centro is a VERY good phone, probably best smart phone I’ve ever owned, what’s wrong with a little color?

OR: “An iPhone fan boy says what?”

Sprint’s high prices?

Although this may sound alarming, I think you might be retarded.

When you return the phone, you’ll be referring to it as the Centro2 (VS Centro).

Idiot.

If you are in that wait and see bunch why don’t you wait and STFU. Your stance is no secret so let those that like Palm and Sprint in peace w/o you ragging and insulting. You are not changing anybody’s mind. A perfect example is the new Palm/Best Buy article, we’ll be alright though

Reason has no residence within you, clearly. “Wait-and-See” is only for the gullible, naive, or fanbois. Somehow, I believe you qualify for “All of the above”.

Idiot.

You’re making my point for me, “analyst ” predict and you agree, nothing says they are right. You also alluded to right for the user, you can never judge that

A “bitchperson”? _STILL_ LMGDAO @ U, idiot.

Some of us aren’t kids and have seen this movie before. Business can only operate in so many directions and companies like Sprint and Palm have placed themselves into very narrowly defined pigeonholes. Don’t blame me because I agree with the analysts who see both companies for what and where they are.

You’re married to your carrier and that’s the difference between us. I’m not married to the several carriers we use because I and my companies have differing needs and different carriers provide have strengths and weaknesses. Sprint for the nationwide voice and data needs we have is out of the question. Having a generic 10% speed differential between Sprint and any other carrier means nothing where you cannot get a signal.

There is no universal Jesus-carrier as you always describe, bitchboy. That’s the fact, Jack-off.

Thanks again for telling us the future because we all know you especially and every other prognosticator are never wrong and what you say is law. Let me tell everyone out there now that there is no need to buy any Palm device or subscribe to Sprint because backdoor says so, anybody doing differently is a bitchperson or a shill.

Unless Palm believes Elevation will poor in another $100M to support a micro-niche between the Professional-grade and Consumer-entertainment segments, Palm loses both. Palm’s fanbois, such as yourself, bitchboy, are not enough to sustain that micro-niche. You have to _CONVERT_ current users of iPhone, WinMo, and Blackberry for Elevation’s second $100M round of funding to have a payday.

Good luck with that.

By trying to straddle the position between Professional-grade and Consumer-entertainment from the absolute weakest of market positions and with the absolute weakest carrier-position, Rosey Palm will lose both positions in the onslaught of current and forthcoming competition.

That would be confusing, the Centro 2 has a built in fan base to keep it going

A “smartphone” was once officially defined as a telecommunications device with advanced PIM (personal information management) functionality, however as this technically covers virtually all cellphones there days (and even many other devices), the definition is largely up for speculation…

Personally, I consider a “smartphone” to be a telecommunications device with computer-like and corporate functionality – whilst such a definition would technically include Apple’s iPhone range, I believe they deserve their own category as a portable multimedia device (along with the Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable) and certain other cellphones) because multimedia is their primary focus, not “computer-like” and “corporate” functionality…

Anyway, getting back on-topic, are you all forgetting that Palm have officially stated more than once that the Centro range will continue to run Palm OS for the moment?

Palm have stated that they will have the Palm OS-powered Centro range for the lower-end of the market, the Microsoft Windows Mobile-powered devices for the corporate segment and the webOS-powered devices for in-between…

I disagree with this because I think it’s just too confusing for the average consumer, but it’s what Palm have announced, so don’t hold you breath.

Trying to have it both ways [Sprintster Trolling Shill _and_ 'disagree'] is further insult to anyone reading. Fuck you, idiot.

I’m a shill that knows how to disagree amicably w/o insults. You still haven’t disproved me

Your point still hasn’t been made, a cheap phone ruins the world along with Sprint’s high prices.

You’re _still_ confused, aren’t you, Princess? After you get out of school and enter the real world, I’d be more than glad to educate you on how all this silliness _really_ works. Not until you pull your grades up, however.

Don’t like the taste of your own words ["(Centro) may even be the most profitable thing for Palm"]? Tough shit. Such a world-class coward.

Thanks for the invite to help you cheerlead for easily mislead companies, but no thanks.

Bitchboy.

What difference does it make how much of a hit is taken on the phone, as a consumer the lower the price is the. Those who stand for nothing fall for anything, your stance is nobody should stand up for Sprint or Palm even if they have a product we believe in. I don’t think you really believe all the crap you posted and is just looking for a reaction, look at all the times a valid argument came behind her’s or post to bring it back on topic an insult followed

We’re talking about profoitability here. Sprint [and other carriers] have the Centro at bottom-of-the-barrel pricing since immediately after its launch. More units sold by carriers only helps carriers sell more data, but Palm is left with nothing to show for its production costs. Puuuure Genius!
