Keyboard is usable. You have to take the battery cover off to access the MicroSD slot that is on the SIDE of the phone. Bad design.

This phone isn't anything new ... they literally just threw a treo in the dryer on high for 4 hours and shrank it. The stylis was cheap and didn't slide in and out very well. Call button layout is good and the directional pad is quite usable.

But like i said it's the same round LAME Treo form factor. Lame tiny square screen. It has a very sharp resolution though.

But for $200 minus $100 mail-in in rebate it's probably worth it. ]]>Oct 10th 2007 3:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxing/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxing/

I went to the Sprint store to replace my beloved Treo 650 with the Centro, only to discover that the phone doesn't drop until the 14th. A Sprint rep coaxed me into trying a Moto Q as an interim phone until the Centro arrived. The Q is a poorly designed, flimsy piece of junk with zero battery life. Motorola couldn't even center the screen on the device. Additionally, the Windows Mobile OS is complex, slow, and freezes frequently; the "aging" Palm OS is simple, snappy, and can be easily navigated with one hand.

I'm counting the minutes until my Centro arrives...]]>Oct 10th 2007 4:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxing/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxing/Oct 10th 2007 4:52PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxing/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/10/palm-centro-unboxing/
