...You sure about that "all four" bit there? Sprint, AT&T, Verizon: yes.

I can't belive how popular this thing has been, and now onto Verizon. Verizon's 755P didn't sell very well, I wonder hwo the centro will do. looks like the palm OS is gonna try to make a comeback on the big red.]]>Apr 21st 2008 10:05AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 21st 2008 10:49AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Jun 6th 2008 4:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/
I've going to replace my Treo 600 soon. I've also got an AT&T Tilt, which is one of the most sophisticated WM devices out there, but the old Treo just works better for the things I really do with my PDA/smartphone.]]>Jul 24th 2008 6:51PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 21st 2008 10:10AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 21st 2008 11:04AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 26th 2008 7:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 21st 2008 2:11PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/
You are aware that Palm doesn't do the OS anymore, aren't you? For at least 5 years. That's why there are Treos running Windows Mobile. That's why the company changed the name for a while to PalmOne and the OS now boots with a splash screen that says "provided by Access.

That said, it's a strong OS, I just was hoping to see Cobalt by now. That the Centro runs Garnet is a bit disappointing. Perhaps we'll see Cobalt in the aformentioned Centro 2?]]>Apr 26th 2008 7:52PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 21st 2008 11:49AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 21st 2008 12:25PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 23rd 2008 12:06AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 23rd 2008 12:28AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Apr 21st 2008 12:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/

My only gripe is that it can be a bit of a pain to re-affix the battery cover.

And the glossy paint job on the Sprint models can make it a bit slippery, though it looks like it may be less of an issue on the Verizon models...]]>May 3rd 2008 12:37PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/May 2nd 2008 2:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/

I have a 700p and wouldn't trade it for anything. Crashes you say? only if you put on programs which are not compatible. Sometime, trial and error on the programs.

Really dont want to go to a 755p. Seems too similar. Thoughts??]]>May 16th 2008 5:26AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/May 16th 2008 10:21AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/May 21st 2008 11:53AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/May 29th 2008 1:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/

most stores have been trained on the phone already..

it shouldn't be more than 2 weeks away.. but there's a chance for it to happen in the next few days.

somehow seems unlikely considering they appear to be gearing up for launch and how did they mysteriously come up with a date when you call but nothing for any of us?

idk...]]>Jun 5th 2008 10:01PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/I'm not the poster who was told "September," but a few months back *I* called Verizon's main customer service number, and they told me, re the Centro, that they "should have it by the end of the summer." Perhaps that's the canned answer the call center folks are told to give (seeing as they don't work at a physical store where the dummy units are already in-house.)

Re: "The LG Decoy is being released by Verizon on June 16th, so I'm thinking that maybe they'll group the Centro in there with the Decoy on the 16th."
When I saw VZW having a big "up to 50% off" sale on their smartphones, I thought maybe they'd release the Centro after that promotion was over. Kind of like Apple slashing the cost of the iPod to clear out the older stock right before releasing the brand new model.

As you can tell, I spend too much time trying to figure out/predict when the Verizon Centro is coming out. I swear, if it isn't out by 7/1, I'm switching to AT&T. I can't stand this waiting!]]>Jun 5th 2008 11:56PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/Thought y'all would like to know.

The phone will be $269.99, less my NE2 credit, the phone would be $169.99.

Does any know, or can they confirm whether there will be any rebates (mail in or instant), and whether the phone will qualify for the Advanced Device Credit?]]>Jun 11th 2008 6:17PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/04/21/verizons-palm-centro-in-the-flesh/
The amazing thing is that I got it for $7, and I think that's just the tax. (Well, it was $107). I had a $100 NE2 instant credit, a $70 instant rebate, and I have the paperwork for a $100 mail-in rebate for the advanced device credit. I swear he gave me too many credits (I was expecting to spend $169) but when he said, "that's going to work out to $7" I wasn't going to correct him.]]>Jun 13th 2008 10:06AM
