Palm Centro Review
I’ve had a Verizon Palm Treo 700W for the last 2 years and when my contract expired I switched back over to ATT as fast as I could. I’m not sure how good or bad the Verizon network is, but the Treo ruined the entire experience. At first I thought it was Palm, but then after reading countless reviews, it seems to be the Palmo/Windows combination.
As I was looking at new phones on ATT, a few phones were in the race. Iphone, blackberry curve, and Palmo Centro. After learning that I couldn’t get insurance on the curve or iphone (I have small kids), it was quickly narrowed down to the Centro. It’s not as jazzy as the other two, but it does all I need. Basic Internet, email, scheduling, and text. In addition, they gave it to me for free. Whoohoo!!
I’ve had the phone for about 3 weeks now so I know it well enough to write the pros and cons of the phone.
Pros:
1.) Great size
2.) Nice finish
3.) Easy to navigate from section to section (email, phone, etc.)
Cons:
1.) It seems I always have to place a phone call twice. The first call is always disconnected.
2.) The ringer stopped working until I dropped it one day and it worked again.
3.) Buttons are pretty small
4.) It’s really annoying how it shows alerts in the top right hand corned and you need the stylus to access them
All in All, it’s a good phone, but I still have two weeks to decide if I’m going to keep it.
