I love the Centro, honestly it's one of the best phone's I've ever owned. All my previously purchased PalmOS software works great on it, and even has some new phone-only features that didn't work on my TX. The only downside is, now that I'm comfortable with the features of a PalmOS phone, the p is looking better and better RE: Whew!

Yeah, the Centro really is nice execution by Palm. My son turned 16, and I got him the black one from ATT.
