This is still too fat, too small a screen, and too poor a browser .... other than that it's great! What's the old expression ...

Come on Palm. What's up wit dat? Sad so so so so sad. "Palm. We use to love thee. Yet now you're forcing us to flee." :(]]>Oct 10th 2007 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/Oct 10th 2007 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/Oct 10th 2007 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/No, thin is in, and it makes the most sense. The RAZR is NOT way too thin, it's the right size. The problem is that when you put something in your packet you don't want it to make a big, uhm, bulge. It's not about "correct proportions". It was that type of thinking that almost killed the RAZR before they made it (focus group studies showed the "preferred" width of a phone was less than the RAZR).

The thinner the better.]]>Oct 10th 2007 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/I think not including earbuds is mistake on palms part. There are plenty of cheaper model phones out there that come with them. The centro is basically a smaller treo with treo features which includes mp3 and video playback. I don't know where you live but in many states it's against the law to drive while on the phone unless your using a hands free kit. I live in NY and in my eyes it's a must have cause of the asshole drivers out here.

To everyone else who thinks this phone is to thick you must not have a smartphone bigger than the touch. I played with the centro at the digital life show and that thing is tiny. What are you comparing it against to get that it's huge, a couple of close up shots by engadget. Don't be stupid. It's almost the same size as the N95, but the N95 has wifi and GPS]]>Oct 10th 2007 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/

Anyway, I think this is a great phone for the price. I will likely be getting one as long as it feels good when I get a chance to test it out. And at $99, Palm is going to sell a hell of a lot of them, no matter the OS.]]>Oct 10th 2007 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/

*After instant discount, mail-in rebate, and qualifying two-year Sprint service agreement.

now the question is to get this or that new blackberry w/ built in GPS. (it would have been nice if this had that)

p.s. you gotta love the glitter in that black case

More important: It's an inexpensive PDA for those that need simple functionality. For those that are advanced users this isn't the phone for you so why down it?

I'm hoping Sprint gets the touch slide, I would get it day one, I love my ppc-6700 wm6 but come on the mogul isn't that much better.

Apple addicts please stop posting your GSM comments on CDMA articles.

If I was on Sprint and I was looking for a cheap smartphone, I wouldn't rule this out.

But, I am a T-mobile kinda guy, so i'll be getting the new Curve :)]]>Oct 10th 2007 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/Oct 10th 2007 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/Oct 10th 2007 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/Oct 10th 2007 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxed-at-engadget-mobile/Oct 12th 2007 8:11PM
