 Love it! June 5, 2008

I have never ever fallen in love with a phone, I hate to say it but this is the first time ever that I am!
I was a skeptic (and a novice) on smartphones. Hmmmppph...how can a phone be smart? You need a cell phone to keep in touch with your contacts, maybe text a little and thats it right? That was me before I bought this phone.
Eversince I bought this phone and one other smartphone (not this brand) for my husband, my whole family is going to town with texting and IMs (we have unlimited texting for the entire family).
The color of this phone is funky. Some says its kiddy but I love the green accent on the keyboard. Its not white but pearly white which makes it unique. At least I will not see scratches on this phone should it has any in future.
The QWERTY keyboard is awesome. At first I thought it was ridiculously too small for my fingers but it works like a charm. Maybe thats why God created fingernails. Texting has nvr been fast and effortless.
The calendar had saved my very very forgetful memory. Instead of putting reminders on my Outlook calendar at work, I just put them in my phone. In fact, I tend to add more and more dates, appointments and reminders when I get home to remind me on what I need to do and which client to contact the next day. (I am a mother of 2 teenagers and a toddler and am a busy insurance agent).
Shopping has nvr been easier. Just use the memo, or voice memo, no need pen and paper.
Lastly, the 'off ringer' slide on the top part of the phone makes it so much easy to turn the ringer off when I have clients at my desk. Less than a second and the ringer is off unlike some phones where you have to push some buttons in order to do that.
Like I said, I was a smartphone skeptic. I do not use the Media stuff or the web with this phone (cant afford the plan) but the texting, IMing, calendaring and all the good stuff is enough to make this phone work for me. I can use the laptop and my home PC if I need to check my corporate email and surf the net. I have not gotten the chance to use the other functions on this phone yet but my teenager has used the 'Documents' software a few times to edit pictures and other stuff.
I do not miss my old best friend, the Motorola Razr...I am too in love with this one.
 Great phone with small issues June 14, 2008

First off...I really love this phone. The features are great and I am not planning on returning it. But there are 2 issues that people should be aware of before they buy:
1.) You cannot voice dial with your blue tooth. You must use the phone for voice dial.
2.) Downloaded ring tones only ring once and do not repeat. This can be a problem if you do not hear the ring the first time. You have to download a particularly long ring tone if you plan on using music tones.
 DO NOT BUY!! Buy an Iphone instead. March 6, 2008

I have owned this phone for five hours . After attempting to put in the memory card 5 tims and not being able to get the SIM card in I get the demon phone synced up to my MAC. After it was synced up it vibrated . when I was following the prompts on the screen for the setup I was using the stylis to tap the screen , I recieved no response from the device. So as i had done many times before with my Palm 750 I used my finger nail . Oh no . The screen decided to look like a pack of skittles and not work . I am now out $280 . After go back to the ATT store and calling both Palm & ATT about this i recieved the basic SOL response. After being told by an ATT store manager that Palm's have a screen DEFECT. Iphone have an optical screen like an TV screen so you cant get that speider web thing happeneing. Dont beleive the hype. Unless you treat this thing with white golves dont buy it or you will be left with a expensive white paperweight.
great for what it is March 20, 2008

if you're looking for a smartphone that's cheap, with no bells and whistles, this is it. its easy to use, and can chat happily with my macbook. aesthetically, the palm centro is the perfect fit for small adult hands (like mine). if you're going from a numeric keypad to a QWERTY pad expect minor adjustment issues (nothing like driving a stick shift after cruising around in an automatic) but these should sort themselves out after a while.
i wouldn't give a phone this pricey to a tweenie (having paid for an unlocked quadband GSM model), but its perfect as a starter smartphone for teens or adults who aren't willing to shell out large amounts of money for an iPhone-- yet.
Nice Phone But Takes Some Time Getting Used To. July 24, 2008

I have this phone and was debating on whether to exchange it or not for something a little simpler. I decided to keep it because it's that "candy bar" style, no sliding or flipping up to use and am happy with it for the most part. It took some time getting used to. I don't like the fact that there is no "back" button. I love the touch screen. I find myself trying to use the touch screen on my husbands phone (Blackberry 8110) or my kids (LG Shine). Battery life is pretty good. I had a Samsung M300 and that thing needed charging every day. I charge this about every 4 days. One thing I discovered is the my ringer volume got softer/low after about a month. At first I thought it was my imagination. I could've sworn it was louder than what it was. Even on the highest level I could barely hear it. After researching from other users, I took out the battery and re-inserted. Now that's the ringer volume that I remember having. It saved me a trip to AT&T.
