  FIRST LOOK: Palm Centro, want to ditch Windows Mobile
  By Adam Turner
  
  Review summary: It's not for meetings, it's for meeting up. If you don't like the bulk of a Treo, here's your smartphone.
  
  Verdict: to run Palm OS (OS v5.4.9 Garnet) rather than Windows Mobile, and it features the 680's 312 MHz Intel processor. It offers consumer-friendly features such as threaded SMS, PocketTunes, a 1.3 megapixel camera, video capture and Google Maps integration ...

  Palm Centro
  By Ross Catanzariti
  
  Review summary: THE Centro is the first smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard to be sold in Australia on pre-paid.
  
  Pros: Size, QWERTY keyboard, touch screen, intuitive and user-friendly interface, price
  
  Cons: No 3G, no back button, plastic build feels a little tacky, keyboard may be a little small for some
  
  Verdict: The Centro is definitely an interesting concept, and it represents a new target market for Palm. It's not perfect, but on the whole this is a nifty device that is tailored well to its demographic.

  Palm Centro
  
  Review summary: The Centro could provide a better looking and more lightweight alternative to Palm Treo users
  
  Verdict: Battery power has been an occasional problem on various Palms, but the Centro's seems decent enough, getting within spitting distance of the claimed four hours of talktime and 12-day standby

  Palm Centro AT&T Review
  By PhoneArena Team
  
  Review summary: For years the term 'Treo' has been synonymous with smartphones; the line had become iconic, and the rumors and speculation surround new releases were once ......
  
  Pros: Great size, Low price point, Full-featured Palm OS device, Easy to use, Good phone performance
  
  Cons: Palm OS is stable, but boring, Lack of 3G data
  
  Verdict: We still really like the Palm Centro, but prefer the CDMA version for its 3G data. The device feels great in your hand, call performance was admirable and as a smartphone there isn't anything it can't do. This phone is aimed at the “tweener” crowd- ...
