The New Palm Centro - Can it Redeem the Company?
Unfortunately for the struggling handset maker, the reception so far towards its leaked Palm Centro (previously known as Gandolf) has been less than enthusiastic. The device looks small and slick, which is nice, but the keyboard is apparently so small that it's tough to use. Gearlog got a hands-on and described it as "impossible to type on with two thumbs."
But does anyone even care if this Palm device looks only so-so? Tthe Palm-faithful long ago started to abandon ship, and who can blame them? The long-awaited Linux-based replacement for the aging Palm OS has been delayed repeatedly, the basic designs of the Palm devices have remained for the most part the same over the last few years, and the unveiling of the confounding pseudo-laptop Foleo device certainly isn't winning them any fans.
Our pals over at Engadget posted an open letter to the folks at Palm that hits the nail on the head -- if Palm plans to retake its place at the top of the mobile computing heap, it's going to take a lot more than the Centro.
The device is set to drop in October for Sprint and probably Verizon a few months later. At launch, the price will be a very reasonable $99.

I have the Palm Tero 750 with the windows operating system. I must say it is the worst celluar telephone I have ever used. The one possible exception was the Tero 650 I had.
It is my own fault for purchasing another Palm product and I have learned my lesson. The phone is always cut off phone calls and simply hang up or the phone turns off. It does this without any assistance from me. Sometimes buttons work and then at other times they do not work. They work at random times and there is no common detail that I have observed about it. I will never buy another Palm product. To anyone thinking about this phone ...... BEWARE!!!!
