Palm Centro Smartphone Review Summary

Those who want a cell phone with many different features at a low price should consider the Palm- Centro Cell Phone. This communication device has much to offer the cell phone user, including its ease of use, Bluetooth and multimedia capabilities, and great sound qualities. The Palm- Centro Cell Phone offers “Amazing Features for a Bargain Price- Couldn’t be Happier” according to one reviewer, but others are not so thrilled with the Palm- Centro Cell Phone, pointing out that it has caused them “Nothing But Trouble”. The price is low, but the small buttons and overly sensitive touch screen make this a Cell Phone that may not be suitable for all users.

I just recently switched my cell phone service provider from Tmobile to Sprint.  I have always had a Motorolla or Samsung phone and was a little apprehensive about upgrading to such a fancy phone.  I HAVE BEEN THRILLED with my new Pink Palm Centro.  It is awesome.  Not only is it a phone but it is... read full review »

I have had nothing but problems with this phone, I haven't had it even a year and am on my third battery, the phone constantly will shut off and I have to take the battery out to get it back on. It goes to the internet with out touching buttons, the screen it terrible and the keys to small

This is the best cell phone I've ever had (better than the Treo), wouldn't trade it for anything.  Easy to use, good display, full keyboard - has everything.

I received the Palm Centro smartphone for free because I extended my contract with Verizon Wireless.  I have to say that I am very impressed!  I love how I can add all of my contact information, photos, apps etc. on my PC and then just plug in my smartphone and sync everything!

I love the variety of applications for this phone.  I download them on my PC and just synch them, and they they are on my smartphone!  It takes decent pictures as well, a great thing to use in a pinch when I don't have my digital camera on me.

I love the touch screen and QWERTY board the best.  That was the number...

My husband purchased the palm centro and I must say it is a great deal for the price.

It has all the features of the palm in a cheaper package great for someone that wants a decent phone with out the price. My husband is thrilled with it cause all he wants is a phone with multimedia features, texting, internet, and calendar sync.

If you're looking for a workhorse pda, I'd recommend another phone.

The biggest reason that I didn't purchase this phone myself is because it didn't have wifi and I feel the software is outdated. Windows Mobile is more organized and I like the today screen. The palm doesn't...

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... read full review »

I got my new pink Centro a little over a week ago.  I absolutely love this phone!  I love the instant messenging type text messages so there is no more scrolling back and forth to figure out who was saying what.  I would change the ringers but then I can download them to get better ones.

I love my Palm Centro.  Not quite a replacement for my computer, but it's portable and I can do work from anywhere--look up internet sites, create word and excel programs, and check/send e-mail.  Oh, and it's my cell phone, too, so no more carrying a cell phone and a palm pilot.

One of the main draw backs is the fact that mobile internet is still new enough that not all pages are viewable, and my mobile browser does not do adobe flash, which is a big component of many, many video intensive sites and there are also some buttons that just are not functional on my mobile browser as well (such as...

I am very big on text messaging.  I text more than talk. I bought the Centro Treo because I'm a busy mom and loved the scheduler of the Palm, and how compact and pink;) it was, but honestly It takes me 10 times longer to text someone. The keys are so tiny, there is no T9 option, and no voice dialing. I miss my old phone. The battery life also is a con. It always dies by the end of my day. My old phone would last for days.

 

Other than that it is perfect for internet surfers, and people who need to take their computer with them. I just wish it had bigger keys. It's a little to much for me technology...

I LOVE my pink Palm Centro!!!  I have never used a "gadget" more.  I use it to take quick snapshots, play music, and organize my life (as well as make phone calls).  It's cute, slim, and I have gotten SO many complimens on it...I couldn't be happier.

The centro caught my attention because it was so much smaller than my Treo.  However, I have given up some great battery life and screen size for the smaller sized centro.  Overall the Centro performs the same as the treo.  I just preferred the treo.

I like this phone, but dont love it.  The buttons are tiny and it is a weird formatted phone to get use to if you arent familiar with Palm's.  I enjoy the touch screen and my favorite app is the express.  I can check daily news alerts, horoscopes, and etc without browsing through the web to find them.  An annoying part to the phone is that is use to run daily updates and somehow it would error and I would always have to clear the error in the a.m. Somehow that just stopped a few months ago for no reason.  Also, I cant have my emails sent directly to the phone. I physically have to go through...

I picked out my Palm Centro as a free upgrade from Cingular.  I had a Blackberry beforehand.  I was excited because I finally had a camera on my phone again!  I was also excited because I wanted a touchscreen.  It took me a while to get get used to the smaller buttons but I love the QWERTY keyboard.  Once I got used to the buttons it became a piece of cake!  I love everything about this phone except 2 things:

1.  You have to have an upgraded data plan to send and/or receive pictures because it is considered a "PDA" phone.  Grrr...thats and additional $30 a month just to send and receive...

I have had Sprint service for my entire family (Myself, Mom, Dad, Sister, and Grandma) for several years and was pretty pleased until I had the unfortunate encounter with the RAZR V3m, which was a good phone on paper but awful phone out in the real world. After my 4th replacement because of bad software used by Sprint, I called retentions and spoke to a wonderful rep who offered this phone to me at 1/2 what NEW CUSTOMERS w/contract were paying (at the time new customer 2 yr contract price was $99.99, and I was to be charged $50.00 for the phone) as long as i agreed to extend the contract on my... read full review »
