The Palm Treo 700w does what it's suppose to do. If you want to get on the internet, go for it. Send a picture message, send it. You can even check your email from it. It takes a regular sd card that can fit into any camera. At this point I use the same sd card for my camera, my Wii, and my Palm. I love the layout of the Palm Treo. Its your basic bar phone with the qwerty keypad. It's a pocket PC and another reason I bought it is because it has windows 5 mobile so I can type a paper in Microsoft word on the go. It has the earlier touch screen and stylus pen and some pretty neat features. I bought a wireless headset so I can also listen to my music using Window media Player. I dislike the fact that I can't use the standard sized headphones to listen to my music (thats why I had to buy the wireless headphones). The headphone jack is smaller than the standard size. I also dislike how I haven't quite figured out how to shut the Palm completely off (even taking the battery out, once the battery is placed back in, it restarts). The camera is of a very low grade, but of course that isn't the purpose of the phone. All in the Palm Treo is good PPC, definitely if you don't want to spend the "smart phone" money to get the latest gadgets of today.Read full review
I'm hooked on Palm PDAs. So I saw the Centro as a chance to get rid of the PDA and do both on the cell phone. The screen is very small, and the power port is a weak link. When I got my old Centro from Verizon, it wasn't necessary to have a data plan for texting. After about two years of pocket wear and knocking around, the charging port became fragile, meaning that I had to sit and hold the plug "just right" so it would charge for around 1.5 hr/day. That situation didn't last too long. First I went to Verizon (VZ); they wanted to renew my contract for two years and give me some other phone. No, I want my centro, but I want it to charge up. Then they wanted to sell me a battery $40+tax+shipping ($8 for two on eBay+0tax+0shipping). But the battery didn't solve the problem, so I decided to buy a used Centro. (I'm close to retirement and don't want a 2yr commitment! VZ wanted $149+tx+sh for a replacement without contract.) The new Centro ($63+0+0) worked just fine; was in good shape and it charged on its own! Verizon 611 service got the new phone up and running in five minutes with no complaining that I didn't buy it from them. A little duct tape can keep the pocket lint out of the charging port. The keyboard is "tactile" to your fingernails--'way too small for your fingers. The coating of the keys is so shiny that it's hard to find the special characters like + / * $ ! . So touch typing is definitely out. Pros: it's a Palm PDA!!!, it's light, it's loud enough, it works well with bluetooth. Can send&receive pictures and text while talking on the phone! Good touchscreen dialing pad. Good tech support from VZ & Palm. Cons: Verizon stores are the pits--keep away! Battery drain is significant; must charge daily, especially in weak signal areas. Shiny key coverings. Small screen. Poor design of charging port. Low-res camera. My Palm PDA isn't lost. When my cell phone days are over, my trusty T|X is standing by to keep me organized.Read full review
I will jump right in to it. The Centro has a small QWERTY keyboard(keypad) which is farely easy to type on for me. It has a good touchscreen, decent size and okay resolution. I however do not like the fact of how difficelt it is to get your email up and running, my device is for verizon and the wireless sync will simply not let me sync my email and i dont know if it is always like that or if i need to contact verizon to take care of the problem. The browser(blazer) is nice, it is fast and gets the job done. The operating system is just right, its fast, easy to utilize and is dynamic. The centro is lagging behind in the multimedia department though, it has only a 2.5mm headphone jack and i can not find a facebook app for it. Despite the shortcomings i will say it is a good device because it does what it says and it is a very straight forward easy device that is good for kids, adults, and buisness users.Read full review
My wife was interested in getting a smartphone with Verizon for just syncing calendars, etc. Verizon requires an extra $30 per month data plan on any smartphone made after Nov 2008. This phone and a few others (see http://corusa.com/blog/2009/07/05/verizon-wireless-forced-data/) don't require data plans but sync with windows and OSX (my OS of choice) with 'The Missing Sync' app. The phone has a small keyboard, so not good if you are a heavy texter, but the apps on it work fine, either via a stylus or using your finger. If you have large fingers, I wouldn't recommend it. Before you buy a phone aftermarket like this, make sure the seller guarantees it will activate on the Verizon network, by asking the seller for the ESN and then calling Verizon about it before you buy it. I trusted the seller and didn't do that, and things worked out fine. But, it is better to be safe than sorry. Wish it had WIFI, but oh well. Another thing, if you never want to connect to the VZ data network with this, call Verizon and tell them to put a data block on your line to avoid unintended data connects. That will also block video/photo text messaging, but will still allow standard texting...Read full review
