"Forget the naysayers; this is a great phone"
Pros: small, light, better bluetooth, streaming radio, task list, fast web access (as tested in san francisco)
Cons: I am using it so much, I am worried about cell phone radiation. I don't see how palm can improve the product much more.
Summary: Many have said that the Centro is not supposed to replace the 700p or other models. I beg to differ, because the Centro just replaced my 700p. Even with the recent upgrades to Sprints Treo 700p, the Centro just feels faster when connecting to a pc or headset via bluetooth or even when surfing the web. Ptunes (an OEM music player) offers more features in the version that comes free with the Centro. Right now I am streaming audio over the Internet from my Centro. The music connects instantly. If I like a song, I can bookmark it. To play the song again, I can play the book mark. This is great.
I've heard complaints about a small keyboard, but thats what people said about the first treo keyboard. Now every smart phone has the same keyboard as a treo. The Centro is a workhorse and it runs all the applications I've been using on my Treo 700p.
I realize a 10 is extreme, and I think it is appropriate.
