If you feel comfortable with the keyboard, the Centro is a viable upgrade. It's the familiar Palm OS, comes with the same software bundle found in the Treo 755p and the form factor is nice. The build quality isn't on par with high end Treos (ie. Treo 755p,Treo 750), but that's also reflected in the price. While a lot has been said about the keyboard, it's really not so bad. In many ways, it has a very nice feel to it. It all depends on your comfort level. I'd recommend visiting a local Sprint dealer and test driving the keyboard. AT&T is rumored to release next month -- but those of course are rumors.

Here are some leaked photos of the AT&T Centro.

Ok, I've been reading up on the Centro and at the end of the long day, I don't think I want to go that route. Isn't AT&T ever going to get a new Treo with a Palm OS??

The owner of my local AT&T store, who gives me unbelievable service for the last 4 years, told me a white Centro is coming out next Tuesday, Feb. 19. $99.00. They will have them ready for delivery until 5-7 days later. Rockin' good news eh?

So is the release date February 19th, or his shipment arrives February 19th. Either way, that's great news.

Release date according to him. I doubt it will make a diff, but I'm going to ask him to charge me for overnight delivery to get it asap. I'm living without my treo650 for more than a week now and can't believe how dependent I was (am) on it!
