Palm Centro 685 / Reviews

The nice thing about running a little community blog wirelessnorth.ca is that every so often companies, or rather their PR reps, send you some pretty neat new stuff. Unfortunately, this is not so much one of those times. At long last (and sorry Palm), here is our review of the Palm Centro.

The Centro still has a small keyboard, but AT&T customers looking for an easy-to-use smart phone should be satisfied.

The Palm Centro is like the friend you call when you need to be bailed out of jail: Reliable, smart and capable of getting the job done. But its dependable nature also means it's not exactly the handset you want to party with.

Now offered by AT&T in a GSM flavor, the pocket-size, easy-to-use Centro... More

For starters, the AT&T version runs on GSM/EDGE networks - all four of the major GSM frequency bands, that is. What is lacking, though, is 3G support of any kind, something that the Sprint Centro had thanks to EV-DO compatibility. So while AT&T Centro users can roam the globe and get a signal... More

With pricing set at $99 with a 2 year contract on Sprint's high-speed network, the Palm Centro is a pretty good deal. For less than half the price of most other smartphones, you get a full touchscreen device with multimedia capabilities and streaming media. The QWERTY keyboard is nice, but not entirely... More

I am female with average size fingers and find that I hit the wrong buttons frequently when texting due to the small buttons. Not a big deal to me. I like the white color because it is very easy to find. The... More

I got this phone when they first started to get "big" (a little over a year or so ago)... This was my first smart phone... unfortunately it's not so smart after all. I paid out the yin yang for these phones (my husband and I both got one his in black)... The first day naturally it was... More

When having this product ordered, I had high hopes for it. And to be honest, I was so excited when I received it that I was happy to show my cat.. well, kitten. As I used it more, I began to see the flaws, and now I'm hating it, after wanting more.

One of the biggest flaws is the keyboard. You... More

As of March 2009, I think Palm Centro is one of the best smartphones available. The style is simple, unadorned and functional a.k.a. Google style but not stylish, fun & glamorous like iPhone & Mac. Having used 3 Windows Mobile phones, iPhone, Balckberry Storm, Palm Treo 755p & Nokia E51,... More
