"6.7? What a crock!"
Pros: Actual keyboard with tactile feedback AND high-res screen
Cons: EDGE only...fine for emails, not great for web
Summary: So the Centro, which actually does nearly everything the iPhone does at a fraction of the cost, yet has a real keyboard, expansion slot, and an operating system for which there is literally tens of thousands of programs, gets a mere 6.7? C'mon, CNET, you're showing your bias against the platform that invented handheld computing. The Centro can play movies, music, display ebooks, do Google maps, browse the web, interface with GPS units, organize your life, sync with Outlook (and most other PIM programs), share and sync via infrared, and all with a gorgeous 320x320 display (33% more screen than your typical Windows Mobile or Nokia smartphone) all for $99? Sorry...anyone who doesn't think that's a steal is somebody's fanboy.
