A great value in an unlocked phone. Syncs with outlook. Does google maps, web, decent camera, good all around phone. Always loved the threaded sms messages. My only complaint is battery life could be better, but if you constantly use a phone with lots of features, it eats up battery. I upgraded from previous model and although this is similar, the camera is better and this is a better form factor. Fits in my pocket or a holster.
Disappointment

I have had a Palm V and a Palm Treo 600. The move to the Centro seemed logical as I use a lot of professional software.
The software continues to work very well but the phone has been problematic.
I have returned it three times. First time as the charging system was defective with the red light staying on all the time with resultant short battery life.
Second return the phone would not answer at times and froze at other times. Help said my software was corrupting my phone. How would they know that? The replacement phone would not hotsync. The next replacement, the bluetooth does not work (absolutely necessary with the Ontario handheld law) and I'm going to send that back and keep my last unit as it works
