Palm Centro Smartphone —
I have been searching for a cell phone for years. The last two phones I purchased I did so reluctantly, out of need of a working phone and not because I liked them. This phone is great! I drive a lot for my job and this phone has everything for me. First: the signal and sound quality are excellent. Texts are logged in an IM format...easy to see texts at a glance. I can check my email and look up info on line without a wireless signal (a plus in rural areas!) all you need is a signal. Also, although there is no GPS device included, a Google Maps application allows you to look up maps, directions, and local attractions. I have had mine for a few weeks now and have no complaints so far.
