As a owner of the Centro as well, I can also tell you that most Engadget readers and gadget fans won't be too impressed.  I just used it solely for a week and posted my review.  <a href="http://morningpaper.typepad.com/morning_paper/2007/12/my-week-with-th.html" rel="nofollow">http://morningpaper.typepad.com/morning_paper/2007/12/my-week-with-th.html</a><br><br>Verizon customers, if you can't wait for the Centro and Verizon does in fact release the 755p, unless Verizon completely destroys it, you won't be upset.  I myself will be moving on from Palm at some point next year, but will continue to support them.  That is unless they say something else as dumb as "we don't feel the need to join the OHA". ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MPaper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2007 8:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Palm's unnamed device: the Treo 755p for Verizon?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/palms-unnamed-device-the-treo-755p-for-verizon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/palms-unnamed-device-the-treo-755p-for-verizon/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was waiting for this on VZW back when it came out on Sprint in May.  It was already yawn-worthy then, but compared to my Treo 650 it was a big improvement.  Eventually I had to replace my Treo and the 755p failed testing, so I went for the 700p, much to my dismay, as despite its age they never got that firmware right.  Buggy as hell.  Then I decided if the 755p wasn't coming out, I'd switch to Windows and get the XV-6800, also already obsolete before its release.  Then that failed testing.  So I left Verizon.  So yes, Palm and Verizon did lose revenue over it, and I doubt I'm the only one.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PSM]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2007 6:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Palm's unnamed device: the Treo 755p for Verizon?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/palms-unnamed-device-the-treo-755p-for-verizon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/palms-unnamed-device-the-treo-755p-for-verizon/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why don't you just do all that for me and I'll give you a P.O.

I mean, I am definitely a newbie to the smartphone world, having only carried a 700p with Verizon for 6 months, and now a 755p with Sprint for a few weeks, but I must say I am very impressed.  Yes, Palm as a company is less than stellar.  They make promises they don't keep, tend to sweep stuff under the rug, etc etc.  Yes, my phone is not razor thin like an iPhone and it doesn't have some fancy interface like a HTC Touch, but you know what...it's a powerhouse.  I can run my entire life from this thing, watch TV from my Slingbox, surf the web, and do countless other things for the $149 I paid for the 755p after rebates.  And I didn't buy the phone because I "love" the company or their management style - I bought it because I liked it.  That simple.<br><br>I don't want to say that I'm offended or hurt or anything like that, it's just that I think people can get a little annoying when all they do is bash Palm devices because they aren't the "cool" thing to have anymore, or because they are "yawnable."  Forget the hype - it's all about what works for you.<br><br>Ok, that's my two cents.  I don't mean to offend anyone - just reminding you that we Palm users are people too :-).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carmen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2007 3:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Palm's unnamed device: the Treo 755p for Verizon?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/palms-unnamed-device-the-treo-755p-for-verizon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/palms-unnamed-device-the-treo-755p-for-verizon/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's not a powerhouse Carmen. You are a newbie, so the Treo seems great. But for those of us that have owned Treo's for years, Palm's devices are letdowns. I purchased the Treo 600 back in 2004 and the Centro I have in my hand now is just slightly better. That is almost 4 years and Palm barely made an attempt in making a new Treo. Look at what BlackBerry has done in 4 years. BlackBerry, the most basic of PDA's, has made huge changes in both design and features. HTC, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, they have all been working hard. Now Apple comes out with a PDA I personally don't like, but it does pack a giant punch. Palm had 4 years to add GB's of RAM, but they kept offering less then 100MB's. They had the chance to change the display, but kept it at 16 Bit's. They had the chance to add WiFi, but didn't even bother. This on top of the 50 million other features they could have added. The 50 million other hardware/software issues they could have corrected. For newbies Treo's must seem great. Just keep in mind, in 4 years little has changed. That is why Palm is dying.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Russ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 11:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Palm's unnamed device: the Treo 755p for Verizon?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/palms-unnamed-device-the-treo-755p-for-verizon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/palms-unnamed-device-the-treo-755p-for-verizon/</guid><description><![CDATA[I own the Centro. I upgraded after using different models. The Centro, like all Treo's is the same-old deal. So a 755 for Verizon's network wouldn't be something so brand new that it would shock the world. It would just be yet another Treo device with lackluster features and spec's. So no, if I was still using Verizon, I couldn't care less about a new Treo coming out. I won't even bother with Palm if their next phone has these same generic features.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Russ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 9:11AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
