This is an excellent "beginner" smart phone. I have never been one to fully utilize the functionality of my mobile phones (I'm a basic "make calls and send text messages" kind of girl but my boyfriend convinced me to give this phone a try. I've been using it for about a month now and haven't ... Read review

Great First Step into the World of Smart Phones
Review of Palm Centro - Palm OS 5.4.9 - XScale 312 MHz 2.4" TFT ( 320 x 320 ) - camera - IrDA, Bluetooth - CDMA2000 1X 800/1900 - Sprint Nextel - onyx by lclabr

Advantages: sleek, threaded txt messages, straightforward to use
Disadvantages: small keys, short battery life

This is an excellent "beginner" smart phone. I have never been one to fully utilize the functionality of my mobile phones (I'm a basic "make calls and send text messages" kind of girl but my boyfriend convinced me to give this phone a try. I've been using it for about a month now and haven't had any problems with it. I'm used to using LG phones so it takes a little getting used to the different interface/controls. It's not as fancy as some of the ...
...smart phones this truly is a great first introduction to them. One thing I particularly love about the phone is that it threads text messages so that they read like an IM conversation when you're texting someone back and forth. There are a few things I don't like about the phone but they're definitely not deal-breakers for me and they don't impact my overall love for the phone. The battery life is extremely poor especially when you're browsing the ... Read review

Review of Palm Centro - Palm OS 5.4.9 - XScale 312 MHz 2.4" TFT ( 320 x 320 ) - camera - IrDA, Bluetooth - CDMA2000 1X 800/1900 - Sprint Nextel - onyx by nascarpweb

Advantages: verstility
Disadvantages: clarity

All the features are great but clarity lacks compared to other phones. Absolutely love the updates for sports scores, TV channels, weather, and especially Google Maps. I find it hard to hear due to the clarity but Sprint's poor reception may have a little to do with that. The battery life seems to be above average, as I can surf the web, send and receive e-mails, play games, and check traffic along Google Maps for three and a half hours (when I travel ... Read review

Quick review of Palm Centro
Review of Palm Centro - Palm OS 5.4.9 - XScale 312 MHz 2.4" TFT ( 320 x 320 ) - camera - IrDA, Bluetooth - CDMA2000 1X 800/1900 - Sprint Nextel - onyx by pmhva

I got the Palm Centro for Mother's Day! I absolutely Love it, It is user friendly, whether writing E-mail or syncing my info I find it easy to use, I am disabled due to Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Palm Centro has just absolutely simplified my Life. It's so convenient to put all my Dr Appts right in my Palm, Now I don't forget Dr Appts, I set Reminders for taking my meds. The greatest thing is I have a Ebay Store and now no matter were I am I can look at my Ebay Mobile and check on my business, making me more productive! I have Sprint PCS on my Centro. I Luv it!

Advantages: keyboard, touch screen, light weight
Disadvantages: styllus

...will be comfortable with the palm centro. Some of my favorite features are the XM satilite radio, camcorder, and internet capabilites. The daily alerts are easy to set up and the calender is very easy to acces and add to. The selection of programs are great and the selection of progams already on the phone are programs that would or could be used by just about anyone. I would definately recomend to anyone looking for a smart phone, it is very reasonably ... Read review
