Great

This is my first PDA. I wanted to get a Motorola Q but I heard awful reviews about it. I was a bit sceptical about this phone being that it was so small and the QWERTY would be impossible to use, but after using this phone and having it for the past couple of days, the QWERTY is very easy to used, I have very FAT fingers, but it is fine, although I wish teh keys were a bit larger, they do the job just fine. As for the memory, its not the best. If you want to store your mp3 music, you have to by a larger memory, preferably a 2GB simply because the phone will only be able to store about 12-13 songs considering the songs are an average size of 2-3mb. Other than that, no problems.

Awesome!! Go for it if you use a Mac

I am switching from a T-Mobile MDA. I just got this phone from amazon with a new 2 year plan from sprint. I got the phone for free as long as I pay my bills on time. I am a big fan of the palm OS. It is a bit old fashioned but very rugged and crisp. The display is small but sharp. I got the vision unlimited data plan, it is nice. It even works in my office building which is a giant old brick building. The palm desktop works on Mac OS X seamlessly. I do not use it for mp3 simply 'cause my iPod beats it in that arena. It fits right in my jeans' front pocket.

The flimsy battery door, short battery life, no bundled stereo headphones are the only cons I can think of. And no stereo bluetooth. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

If you do not want to use windows powered devices, go for this handy, stylish, and practical PDA/ Phone.

OK. I am back with an updated review of the phone after about 6 months or so. It has been so far very lightly used. I recently started to use the phone's bluetooth tethering for internet service. I just love it. It gives me roughly the speed of a 768K DSL line. During thunderstorms and power outage or in the park, I can use the EVDO internet. So far the only complain I have is the battery life. With the bluetooth on, it last a very short time.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this phone!!!

I have never enjoyed a phone so much. I can do anything with this. It is my first smartphone so maybe I am oblivious to what's out there, but I doubt it. I can do everything from this phone. I bought a clear hard case to protect it though. The only thing is sometimes it vibrates for no reason but for half a second. It doesn't light up when it does that so maybe it's searching for a signal but I have never had a problem with reception, never dropped a call even in the places I did with previous phones. I seriously could not be happier with this phone, it's wonderful!

My Little Red Companion

Coming from a T-Mobile Sidekick III to a red palm centro, I had fairly reasonable expectations from a higher-end phone and a higher-end service (sprint). Providing a little background into my service change, my friend who works at sprint hooked me up with the Sprint SERO plan, which you can google and will find multiple ways to take advantage of the plan. I pay thirty dollars a month, and I get 500 minutes, unlimited data and unlimited texting... you simply can't beat it.

Anyway, back to the phone. I ended up getting the red version; my best friend has the pink one, so I figured I should switch it up a little, and black was so normal. I was stunned when I opened the packaging and saw how small it was. This phone is truly the tiniest smartphone I have ever seen that has a QWERTY keyboard, hands down. Being a young man with rather large hands, I was afraid that the keyboard would be too small for me to tap out even the simplest text message without making multiple errors; however, after a few days of getting used to the phone, I now make no mistakes when writing even a large email.

This phone is also one of the sturdiest phones I have ever owned. Compared to my previous sidekicks,razrs, and the like of flimsy phones, I have had this phone for over two weeks, used it constantly, dropped it multiple times, and it has not one scratch on it. The casing, a shiny metallic-like plastic, is surprisingly sturdy, and none of the paint has come of at all.

Diving into the software interface of this phone, Palm's age-old operating system is on it, but I had no problems with it. Sprint included pTunes, which is a great mp3 player with an internet radio receiver, Sprint TV, which is a system of some free and some one-time cost shows and videos that you can download to your phone at lightening speed, google maps, documents to go, and text messaging that is displayed in conversations much like the iPhone.

Syncing this phone to the computer is an absolute breeze, and finding third-party apps for it is an easy task. Opera mini, an iPhone-like web browser, can be installed onto it if you find the Java Microenvironment. Another plus in having this Microenvironment is the fact that...drumroll please... it allows you to STREAM YOUTUBE VIDEOS! After downloading the Java Microenvironment, just go to [...] and off you go! This browser AND the Java Microenvironment made the phone 100% better, and it's only one of the many third party apps that I use every day.

One of the huge features of this sprint smartphone is that it has picturemail. Windows mobile phones do NOT have picture mail, making this and the Palm Treo the only smartphones that sprint offers which have this capability; a MAJOR selling point for many, including myself.

In terms of service, I get service absolutely EVERYWHERE, including in my school which has cell blockers. I often get service where people who have verizon don't get service, and when I've roamed it's been on the verizon network, so I have never had a time where service hasn't been available.

There are two things about this phone that I dislike, but not enough to dislike it any bit. One of these is the battery life. With the screen's brightness turned to the lowest it can go without shutting the baklight completely off, the most it could last without a charge is 2 days, and this is without use of the mp3 player and data. I find myself charging it every night, which isn't a big deal, but for some people I'm sure this would be a hassle. The other negative feature about this phone is the fact that the batter cover has to be removed in order for you to be able to remove your microSD card. For those who swap memory cards, this could get old very quickly, but I've gotten used to it.

All in all, this is basically a smaller version of the popular, and much more expensive, palm treo. I would recommend this phone and the sprint SERO plan to everyone, hands down.
