Palm Centro Rated 4 out of 5 by Wireless and Mobile News Review of Reviews

“The touch screen is just one of several features that make this a first class phone with a coach class price,” writes Larry Magid for CBS about the Palm Centro.

Larry Magid’s Palm Lowers The Bar On Smart Phone Prices Review for CBS, says the Palm Centro “has all the basics you would expect from a typical combination telephone personal digital assistant with only one potentially annoying drawback: its keyboard is quite diminutive.”

Engadget is not so thrilled and reports “there are too many minor hang-ups that contribute to an overwhelming sense of letdown.” They don’t like the poor Mac syncing abilities or the poor speakers.

CNET gave the phone 7 out of 10 for price, compact size, poor keyboard, no Wi-Fi and weak speakers.

Brighthand’s Palm Centro Review is a positive review due to the price, but the small size of the keyboard and the screen are disliked.

IT Business Canda calls the Centro: satisfyingly cheap and points out that the Centro has Bluetooth but no Wi-Fi.
