The Palm Centro sheds some of the weight and bulk of Palm Treo to make for a more compact smartphone. It also carries an attractive price tag and offers a lot for the money

Great camera and multimedia capabilities

But its still fast

Connected
And entertained.
Great size
Low price point
Fullfeatured Palm OS device
Good phone performance
Improved calling interface. Unlocked Centro means T-Mobile users might have a shot. Same small design we liked.
Tiny size. Full Palm OS for complete smartphone experience. Fast networking.
Cuter

Excellent call quality and battery life
The editors didn't like
The case is likely to become scuffed up easily. The device must be held awkardly to hear clearly. The rubbery keyboard won’t hold up well to fingernail typing. Keyboard is really too small for moderate to larger hands/fingers. ...
There are a few to mention
Battery life could be better for this Smartphone
Those with big hands and fingers might find the Palm Centro too small for their liking
There is no 3G support
So data transfer is not as fast it could have been
No Wi-Fi or G...
Lacks 3G data
Cramped keyboard
Memory card slot behind battery cover
No stereo Bluetooth
No Wi-Fi
No 3G and a poor camera. In many ways this is a four-star device
But the features let it down.Look and Feel
Palm OS is outdated. No 3G
Wi-Fi
GPS
Or stereo Bluetooth. Battery life is on the low side for GSM.
The counterpart to the cameras ease of use is that you cant adjust any settings such as picture quality or resolution. There is just no option to do so. This is not necessarily a downside since the Palm Centro surprised me with quite decent picture qualit...
Annoying memory card slot
Poor Sprint TV streaming video quality
Buggy. Tiny
Cramped keyboard. Poor headset support.
No stereo headset as standard
Limited Bluetooth device support (headset
File share and sync only)
No Java support in broswer
No 3G
Or WiFi
GPS. Bluetooth. No IM client. Palm OS is on life support.
PalmOS is getting awfully stale
Nearly the same as the Treo 680
No 3G data
Poor Browser
Cramped QWERTY keyboard
No flash
Limited amount of included software
Screen goes to sleep too quickly
Can't actually turn the thing off completely.
QWERTY keys are small and cramped
Display is smallish (if still easy to read)
Hardware and software design feels a bit dated
Noticeably thicker than comparable devices
No Music Store access (yet)
Battery life
Battery door tough to open
No WiFi or integrated GPS (a Bluetooth GPS receiver is optional). Short threehour battery life. The 1.3megapixel camera captured crapquality photos. Plastic housing feels like it could be busted by a strong wind.
The Centro for AT&T lacks 3G and doesnt support stereo Bluetooth headsets. Also
The QWERTY keyboard is tiny.
The Centros QWERTY keyboard is extremely cramped and the hardware feels a bit toylike. The phones speaker is on the weaker side
And it lacks Wi-Fi.
No Wi-Fi or stereo Bluetooth
Voice dialing costs extra
Poorly designed battery door
Palm OS definitely showing its age
Baby keys
Weird control stick
Useless stylus
Zero innovation
Its really just a smaller
More affordable Treo. Battery life sucks
Just 3.5 hours of talk time. Cramped keyboard not for the fat of finger. Stereo Bluetooth not supported out of the boxit requires thirdparty software.
Palm OS is stable
But boring
Lack of 3G data
Same small keyboard
Same old interface. Apps like the Blazer browser and Pocket Tunes music player starting to show their age.
Interface and apps are getting very
Very old. E-mail is behind the times. No IM clients pre-loaded. Lacks many multimedia features. No GPS or Wi-Fi.
Slow EDGE networking. Interface looking dated
Except where recently improved. Tiny keys tough for typing.
Tiny keys. Small screen. Aging Palm OS in dire need of cosmetic update. Scheduling app could use an update. Lacks features and apps of a multimedia smartphone.
Abstract: Wer den nagelneuen Palm Centro haben will, muss keinen Kredit aufnehmen: Im Media Markt schiebt der Verkäufer das PDA-Phone bereits für einen Euro über die Theke. Dazu muss man zwar einen Debitel Talk&Surf-S-Vertrag buchen, der 29,95 Euro im Monat kos...
1. Finde ich auch 215.- Euro nicht billig. 2. Finde ich, der CENTRO ist ein knarzendes, schlecht gebautes Teil, welches nur schneller ist, als der TREO650, aber sonst keinerlei Vorteile hat. Ergo: Ich werde auf keinen Fall einen CENTRO kaufen, und fin...
Abstract: Palm Centro är en smartphone med fyrbands gsm, edge, fullt qwerty-tangentbord och tryckkänslig skärm. Testarna menar att operativsystemet är enkelt, responsivt och erbjuder hög funktionalitet, men de saknar wlan och 3g.
Abstract: Det skal siges med det samme: Jeg er vild med Palm. Jeg har en Palm-lommecomputer, som jeg stadig bruger dagligt. Den burde være erstattet med en smartphone, men jeg har endnu ikke fundet et smartphone-system, som føles lige så hurtigt, lige så godt og...
