I am actually on my 2nd Palm Centro with Sprint. My husband bought my first one for me almost 2 years ago. At first I didn't want it becuase I thought it was way too much for me. I didn't think I needed all the features it has. WELL 2 years later and now on my second one (I broke the first one) and...

I am a former Palm Centro ower, had a problem which began in August of 2008 when I called SprintI was told to take it to the local repair office, and have them look at it, I could not get there, it is a 30 minute drive, and I don't drive.  When I spoke to someone in tech service 2 weeks later when...

I have had the Palm Centro for over a year and I found the phone to have everything I needed in a smartphone. Email, text messaging, Internet, and loads of programs written specifically for the Palm operating system. My first Palm experience was with the Handspring PDA, sort of the precursor to the Palm Treo. The Centro, although running on a much more updated version of the Palm operating system, feels familiar and has multitudes of applications available to run on it. The battery life is excellent;  durability is great (dropped multiple times); it feels good in the hand and is fun to use. The...

I love my pink Sprint Palm Centro.  It has everything! I find it very easy to use and I love the touch screen. We have 3 in my house. The keys are perfect for texting and being online.  The camera takes really good pictures and video. If you buy an extra memory card it will hold more pictures, video, and songs than you can ever put on there! Love this phone.

I absolutly LOVE my Centro!  It did take a while, however, to learn how to use it, but once I did, it's easy.  One of my favorite features is the Google Maps.  I also love how I can get the weather and radar, plus when I surf the net, I can keep pages as my favorites so that I can access them more quickly.  I love how it makes life so much easier.  For instance, if my family and I are out and about and decide that was want to go somewhere and purchase something, but we don't know who sells that something or we want to compare prices, all I have to do is get on Google Maps, search for what...

When I first saw the Palm Centro, I didn't think it would be as useful as it is. I thought it would be just something for me to play games on and surf the net, but it's so much more for me and I love that I have such a poweful phone and organizier in the palm (pun intended) of my hand.

First off, my carrier is Sprint, so I enjoy their 3G service and I'm never without a signal. On this phone it gets an excellent signal, no matter where I am.

I love the calendar feature, as I usually have a lot of appointments not only for myself, but for my husband as well. He likes the calendar feature so much...

I bought the Palm Centro phone from my wireless carrier. I was in need of a phone that had easy text messaging and also provide me with email, internet, and calendar. This phone has all of that and much more. It has so many features, that I still haven't figured out how to use all of them. It has a full keypad that is set-up just likea keyboard, which is great for me with all the typing I do. The texting feature, is set up more like a chat, so if it takes someone a day or two to respond, I'm not trying to figure out what we were talking about. The calendar function is easy to use and I am able...

I really do love my Palm Centro cell phone!  I chose the rose pink one, because I like pink.  It they had a purple one, I probably would have gotten it.  It fits in the palm of my hand and the keys are easy for me to use.  My husband doesn't like the phone because he says the keys are so close together that he can't hit the right one.  However, for a woman who has small hands like I do, they are just right.  I really love the touch screen.  I can use my nails and navigate the touch screen just as easy as using the keypad.  The texting is really nice on it, however, I do wish I could text...

I have had this phone for about 10 months and I must say I am not impressed.  My biggest complaint is the lack of display for incoming calls.  The screen just tells me that I missed calls.  It doesn't display who called, the number that was calling or when they called.  There is also no notification that there is a voicemail.  No light flashing to let you know someone left a message. Many times I don't even know someone tried to call me and left a voicemail because there is no display of it.  

The keyboard on this phone is tiny.  For older people this is a real problem.  I find myself...

The Palm phone has very small keypads which makes it impossible to use without hitting the buttons around the phone....definitely will have many typos if you text and drive! Other issues with the phone is that the battery life is very low, it lasts maybe 3 hours of talk time, maybe a day of stand by. The camera takes horrible pictures, it has no zoom or flash-even my last phone which was a much older phone had those features. The screen get dirty easily. The phone is also hard to navigate, there is no direct button to the text messages-the button that looks like it would be for messages takes... read full review »

I have two Palm Centro's on my Sprint plan. You have to be a very patient person to own one of these. I love being able to surf the net on it and do things like checking my email and using yahoo messenger. I also love that Sprint offers it's own little T.V. channels that you can watch on it. But the service plans needed to do these things can be a little pricey. So is the phone. I loved this phone when I first got it. But I soon learned that it starts to erase all important contacts and all pictures on it's own. Those pictures are something I can never get back. But you can upload your pictures...

ok so, i bought a palm centro in this really cool shade of pink. the phone has great reception, never loses a call,and has like the best mp3. the confusing part about it is i still cant figure out how to do a 3-way call,adjust camera settings,figure out how to disable some of the phone alerts.the touchscreen/qwerty keyboard thing has its advantages but i think the screen is too small and the keyboard is as well. it might be a better fit for someone who loves technology. i like simplicity...this is anything but.

I still believe that simple is better and overall a phone should be just a phone, but with The Palm Centro, I am adapting.  98% of the time I only use the phone feature, but as of late I find that looking for my palm pilot was a time waster.  Having the Palm features in my phone makes it easy to locate just by calling my cell.  I have been experimenting with the Video options on the phoneand have justbegunusing the texting features.  I still believe that the cell phone is becoming a real  issue because of the people that think they can invade privacy with Cameras and drive recklessly because...
