"If you like Palm you'll love the Centro"
Pros: A complete package! Everything you expect from Palm in a concise package
Cons: I had difficulty with the p-tune radio streaming. The stylus is flimsy. Not unlocked for travel outside of Verizon's coverage area for use overseas.
Summary: I thought the small keyboard would be a problem, but with the rubber coated keys, there has not been a problem. I am male with average size hands. Perhaps with larger hands it might be a problem. Try it out in the store before you buy. The e-mail, has been seamless and excellent. I downloaded PDAtuner to supplement the p-tune to get my worldwide radio stations and although the manufacturer was surprised that it worked on the Centro, again I was immensely impressed. I did notice after loading the palm desktop and syncing with the centro, that I started getting error messages when I synced subsequently with my Palm Tungsten. But seeing that I am now have everything on my Centro I found no reason to use the Tungsten. I added MobileWrite to help in the use of the touch screen writing. The only program I wanted to have on my Centro, but didn't work was Golfwits. Their program did not work on the Treo so whatever difficulty they had with the Treo has not been corrected on the Centro.
