Palm Centro


(3.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $99


The keyboard is a bit tight, but this smart phone has all the features novices are looking for at a rock-bottom price.

Review date: Oct 12, 2007

The Palm Centro for Sprint is a slick-looking device targeted to first-time smart phone users. It features the same operating system, basic specs, and applications of the Treo 755p   This compact phone (4.2 x 2.1 x 0.7) fits easily in your pocket and is available in two colors: a hip Ruby Red and a more elegant Onyx Black. The touchscreen measures only 2.2 inches, but it has a nice 320 x 320-pixel resolution, which is perfectly fine for the light-on-graphics Palm OS. The phone has a microSD slot on the side but isn't bundled with a miniSD Card. Even though Palm claims the MicroSD slot is external, you still have to remove the phone cover from the back of the phone to get at it. That's annoying.

ProsCons
  • Easy to use
  • Compact form factor
  • Bargain priced
  • Can edit Office docs
  • Cramped keyboard
  • Annoying memory card slot
  • Poor Sprint TV streaming video quality
