I think its a great idea! I really like the size of my Centro, I just wish it had more memory and better features.

OH just shut the fuckkk Up backstreet! I agree with Steve.Anytime I read something about the Pre you are spewing some kind of shitt about Palm or Sprint in every comments page.I know many people that love their centros. I do not have one but I am not going to trash them over it or be a Bigot because it is not the BRAND I love. Apple fanboy? hmm I would swear that I have heard you sing praises to the almighty apple before. You truly are a coxsucker.

Looks kinda long… I wish Palm would make a keyboard with larger keys. I’ve used the Centro before and I had such a hard time trying to type a text on it. I don’t even want to imagine trying to send an email…

You said everything I wanted to say BlankReg! I love my centro, I get that it’s not for everybody, but it works perfect for me. I have no problems with the keys.

I don’t understand why many people seem to think that everybody has to hate it just because they do. I didn’t buy it because I had limited choices or it was the only thing I could get. I spent awhile making my decision, I really did want the centro, and I am very happy with my choice.

I am hanging on to it until I can get a new palm, the pre looks great to me, but who knows I may even like the new centro even better. Either way I’m sure I’ll still miss my centro.

oh, and I agree with most the comments here that this looks nothing like a new centro.

That is clearly just a Blackberry Bold or Curve 8900 whose screen has been stretched out via PhotoShop or something like that. Come on, BGR. You guys can do better than this, can’t you?!

I think that the form factor shown is the MOST obvious one that Palm will come up with next.

All touch wont work – the form factor will probably harm sales of the Pre more, and goes away from the basic Palm ideology.

A thinner, smaller, cheaper Centro-style phone is the best “other” form that’ll bring in the green for Palm.

So I think thats a very obvious photoshop job – even if it isn’t, thats the ONLY option for the future Palm phone. They can’t come up with anything much more different than that.

It must be true – Treocentral has created a discussion forum for it already.

So…anyone giving up on the Pre now that a GSM WebOS device has been “revealed”?

So WHO gets this in the fall? Id b excited but the drawback of the Centro was that painfully small keyboard. Slappin WebOs on it isnt gonna change that fact.

By: BlankReg

BlankReg — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:00:07 +0000

Geez…I can feel the love.

Whether or not this is true who knows. But hopefully there will be more then one WebOS device before year’s end. And for all the Centro-slammers, I have one and love it. No problems with the keyboard. Will keep it until the Pre/WebOS takes off. Never been an early-adopter, and truth be told, my Centro does everything I need a smartphone to do.

If you don’t like a phone, why diss everyone who has it? To each his/her own. I personally would never own an iPhone of a BlackBerry. But I wouldn’t say those phones suck. What ever works for you. For me, right now it’s a Centro. The only thing I really don’t like about it is AT&T, but that’s another story…

I remember back in the beginning of the year when BGR posted the end-of-life document, they had the end of the Centro in favor of the Centro 2. So the next device might very well be the sequel.

Boy Genius…what sayeth your ninja on screen resolution and capacitive vs. resistive touch? Will this “Centro” have a stylus? OLED?
