PALM Centro Quad-band Smartphone - Unlocked

I purchased this phone for two reasons. First, I needed a phone because I couldn't keep a good case on my Motorola Razor. And second, my wife needed a new phone badly. My razor was about a year old, so I would buy me what I was looking for (no flipper or slider; but had full key board). This is what I came up with. My Wife keeps the Razor in her pocket without a case anyways. She was happy. I was really, really happy. This phone performs so well and looks so professional, I want it's premium model when It's upgrade time, even if I have to pay some. It does have a bug here and there but MOST of those can be worked out seriously. I have AT&T, you HAVE to call and get your ring time extended from 20 to 30. Seriously, to have plenty of time, that has to be done. And the phone itself is awesome. All I can say is keep your upgrades up. Keep it updated.

i kept getting alerts every 3 or 4 minutes saying that there was some error with my mail system, and i did not have email on my plan .. it took many calls but the folks at [....] were patient ... i did a hard reset and they helped me do it without losing my info .. so all's well that ends well...

Buy PALM Centro Quad-band Smartphone - Unlocked Now

I just bought this Palm Centro a week ago. For now I am impressed with the versatility the phones gives me for making calls, handling contacts and appointments. And cause it's based on palm OS I installed a couple of apps I used to had in my TX. They work just fine.

I read a couple of reviews where the guys were complaining about locking a freezing. I experienced it a couple of times receiving calls, but cause of my expertise with palm devices, I decided to make a hard reset and voilá!! everything is working just fine for now. I installed callrec (wonderful app that records every call you make), Agendus Pre, BTToggle and a coulpe of games and everything is wonderful.

Pros:

Very versatile device

Sound is good

Good speaker

Handful of useful apps on the market

Basic apps very useful for starters (agenda, contacts, voice dial, Calc, Documents to Go, Pocket tunes, voice recorder)

Voice command that lets you make a lot of things like calling contacts (you say the name of the contact and it understands it very good), opening apps. Very cool feature.

Qwerty keyboard feels fine, but not for big hands, my hands are a little big and I can use it just fine.

Bluetooth

micro sd slot

Good stuff for your money

Cons:

Plastic pen, feels a little fragile (I already ordered a metal pen for 1$)

Back cover feels little loose when holding the phone. Makes a little noise when you press it too hard. This factor does not interfere with phone functions.

Battery life not so good, I can estimate a 4-5 day in standby mode. In constant use, two days top.

No wifi (should this be a con?)

That's what I can say. So far I am satisfied with this smartphone (really smart I think). I give it 4 stars.

When I bought this phone my main concern was the keyboard (I have experienced the 650 so knew about the good quality), but although the keyboard is "compressed" I can easily tap all the letters with minimum to cero problems.

Also, all of my friends could (it takes just a little practice, some times a little patience also).

The best thing is all the applications available that I can easily install in this phone.

It never resets, never gets frozen.

I can just give it a: two thumbs up!

Been using this phone for more than a year and so far works well! Calls are still clear, buttons are usable. Speakerphone is handy! However battery like got worse which made me had to purchase a new battery. And not that many apps anymore as companies focus more on making apps on the ever so popular iPhones and now, Android.
