This is a discussion on The Centro within the Treo Smartphones forums; I know Sprint has it but, when is Verizon going to get it. I have a 700p and think that ...

|  How come the centro does not have its own forum? Is it not considered a treo? My question is does it have all the features of the 650 plus more speed... I do not think it has wifi either.

| No, it does not have WiFi. It has all of the features of the 650/700p/755 and is by far the most stable of the devices. My wife has one and has had no resets on it after the first day. Ben

| Ben is the keyboard about the same size? screen ?? I am looking but my home area still does not have power vision so why pay for no speed. Do the newer palms have a setting to increase font size for those of us that can't remember our glasses?

| The major differences other than physical size: #1) the screen is smaller by .2" - not much, but it is noticeable. The resolution is the same, 320 X 320, meaning that because the pixels are closer together, the resulting image is sharper and sharper it is. #2) It has 4mb more of available user memory. #3) It uses a micro card. I copied my 700P backup to it and found the card was erratic, so I formatted the card and installed one-by-one. Had problems with 1 application, the rest were fine. That application was updated and is running great - 1 reset on day 1, none after that. #4) the key pad is cramped and for me, it means a lot of effort getting use to it. I use my 700P for hours at a time throughout the day and I am sure I would adjust quickly, but again, it is smaller. #5) battery length - it is much less and that is because the device is so much narrower. Like the other Treos though, the battery can be fed throughout the day without any problems. #6) The device is VERY stable. If font size is a factor, an application such as FontSmoother may be worth looking at. I use it on both devices and no problems at all. Ben

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. -Chris |
