Palm Centro Web Browser review

[owenc76]

how can i access the .mp3 files i have saved in my /AUDIO file on my phone & open it in "Web"

[Hazardteamck]

You would need to use pocket tunes.

[droxhard]

Is there a way to set up the internet with my wireless network so it wont charge my phone bill when i get on the internet.

[Hazardteamck]

Most likely you will have to pay for it depending on your carrier.

[Msrobsessed]

how much does internet cost in sprint?

[Hazardteamck]

Since plans do vary in pricing and depending on if you want limited or unlimited, I would not know the answer.

I have a palm centro, i am trying to have my appointments on my home page or page where my wallpaper is i cant figure it out any help would be great...thank you

[Hazardteamck]

I will try to help you. On your page where you have your wallpaper, press the down key several times until it brings up the entire page, click the right button on your directional pad and tap on a box that is blank. There you go!

[bubblegumb0y55]

i cant make it work, i am new to the palm centro, you dont have a video on calendar, or showing appointments, or maybe you know another way of doing it...thanks

[Hazardteamck]

Could you be more specific on the problem?

[wixerd5]

Hi, do you know how can i DISCONECT the web? i just don't know how and i turn off the phone to get disconnected ...

[Hazardteamck]

Just press any of the shortcut keys on the phone.

[gjoshyt]

Hi, does the palm centro internet browser is good, please answer me this question as fast a you can, please answer it by telling me if it is:

1 awful 

2 bad

3 medium

4 GREAT

5 THE BEST

[Hazardteamck]

It really depends on what you mean by "good". Overall I would rate it between 3 and 4. Anymore questions please reply!

[gjoshyt]

why do you rate it like that way???

[Hazardteamck]

Acutally I change my rating to 4.

The reason I rated it 4 is becuase I think it could use a few more features, plus the way it displays the page is nothing compared to a desktop browser or laptop browser. Its not like an Iphone or an instinct browser where you get more features on the browser. On YOUR rating you said 5 was the best. I don't think that this browser is the best thats out there. I think that browsers on the Instinct, iphone and LG Dare are better than the Centro.

[gjoshyt]

well i want this phone to use messenger(chat) and go to myspace, facebook and youtube, do you think this phone is apropiate for me???, and i want a simple and small smartphone....

[Hazardteamck]

Yes I would recommend it to you.

[gjoshyt]

well man thanks a lot.. =)

[Hazardteamck]

no problem!

[gjoshyt]

ohh & one more question, is it easy to type on the Centro???, i want this phone but im afraid that i cnt tipe on it...

[Hazardteamck]

I can't be for sure, as I do not know the exact size of your fingers. My suggestion to you is to go to like a Sprint store or Verizon store where they have the Centro on display and you can try it out for yourself and see if its comfortable to type on!

[glowman567]

internet do you have to pay for

[Hazardteamck]

If you don't have internet on your plan then yes, it could cost you extra.

[chivas3192]

my friend has a palm phone and he uses his phone as a modem to get internet on his computer does anyone know how to do that??

[Hazardteamck]

I am sorry but I have never done this at all! I believe you must install some software on your computer and you need a cable to connect it! Sorry!

[kckcfg]

if you have a router for your computer would the centro be able to connect to th internet using wifi

[Hazardteamck]

You cannot use WiFi on the Centro. But on Palm Treos that have Windows Mobile, you can use WiFi. Anymore questions please reply!

[kckcfg]

if you have a router would the centro be able to connect with wifi

[GreggAspite1223]

i have a mac computer. if i sinc ithe phone to it what is going to happen. it was like microsoft word and stuff which my mac does not. what about my text edit documents and stuff, do they go on the phone. thanks and please comment me back.

[Hazardteamck]

I would not know becuase I don't have a Macintosh computer. I think you would install the microsoft word on your Mac. Sorry!

[bakupalmstudios]

well, my dad's TX email is having a problem. he can't send messages to other people. whenever he tries to send an email, the whole thing just...freezes and crashes. so yeah i DO need your help.

[Hazardteamck]

Try a hard reset. A hard reset will erase everything on the device so be sure to hotsync it to your computer before proceding as this will backup all your data on your device. Please see our How To Reset A Palm Centro video in our video section, this will also work the the Palm TX handheld! Anymore questions please reply!

[bakupalmstudios]

My dad has a palm TX handheld and my mom has a palm centro smartphone!!!! NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hazardteamck]

If you or they need ANY help on their Centro or TX, please reply!!!

[moopmoop490]

should i get this phone over the blackberry pearl? which one should i get please tell me what u think

[Hazardteamck]

If I were you, I would get the Centro because Blackberry's can be a little bit confusing to use. Centro is easy and cheaper than the Pearl and the CENTRO is touchscreen as well, thats something you wont get with a blackberry! Anymore questions please reply!

[vancougars]

Are programs like Youtube free on this phone? (meaning can you just go on Youtube without no internet plan).

[Hazardteamck]

You need a data plan in order to watch YouTube videos, sorry! Its just like with Googlemaps where you need data in order to view it. The streaming program, Kinoma player comes free but only appears when you play a youtube video and thats the only time you can use it! Anymore questions please reply!

[vancougars]

But the Kinoma player, will it work if i just want to watch like videos on YouTube?

[Hazardteamck]

Yeah it will still work! However, we recommend unlimited data plan because YouTube videos use a lot of data so if you don't have a data plan, it could end up costing you extra money on your bill! Anymore questions please reply!

[Jeeps3488]

how would you say it compares to the web browser of the blackberry curve?

[Hazardteamck]

I would say that they are about the same. However I think the centro is better because its touchscreen and I think its easier than a trackball. Anymore questions please reply!

[UBBERTUBB]

your video is helpful, but you dont show how to exit the web browser on the palm centro... i would like to know how to exit the browser

[Hazardteamck]

The reason why I didnt is because its very easy! Just hit one of the shortcut keys and that will exit the browser! Anymore questions please reply!

[drewg325]

my palm centro does not display pictures on browser help

[Hazardteamck]

Maybe your router does not support Wifi. Your device may be picking it up but maybe it can't do wifi. I Really dont know what do tell you. Sorry!

[treverpitts]

plzwrite me back i been wanting toget this on verizon i heard the keybord its hella small and the phone sucks over all plz hit me back i want to get it on my up great next month let me no whatsa good cell to get thats dont need data i no this one dont need that plan so over all people is this cell really easy and good to use

[Hazardteamck]

More specific on what?

[Hazardteamck]

Yes, The Centro has a built in web browser. IF you dont have data on your plan, it will cost you extra so make sure you have internet on your plan.

[ColSaulTigh]

How do I close the web browser

[Hazardteamck]

ARe you trying to go on the internet on your phone using your computer?

[mskita007]

As usual, VERY informative. My Palm Centro arrives tomorrow and I cant wait to apply what I've learned from your instructional videos. I took lots of notes!

[Hazardteamck]

Thanks!

[harobike123]

So it's got the flash player built in? Or is it just a "mobile" version of YouTube?

[Hazardteamck]

The Centro does not have flash built in, instead it has a player called the Kinoma player and it allows it to stream video on youtube. Anymore questions please reply!

[562920]

I already hav the palm and I hav unlimited internet do I pay extra for instant message and to watch youtube videos and other videos on the internet

[Hazardteamck]

I think you schould be fine for the Youtube videos! Now im not sure about instant messaging, please contact your service carrier! Anymore questions please reply!

[SoccaBoi04]

heres the deal really wanted a blackberry but than i saw this but i have some questions first is it on at&t and second of all (most important) how much is the internet cost monthly????????????

[Hazardteamck]

Yes the Centro is avaliable on AT&T. And to answer your question, I really dont know. I think it is under 30 dollars a month or lower. Im not sure because I dont have AT&T. SOrry. You can contact at&t by going to their website and see what they have! Anymore questions please reply!

[Harmfulsethy]

100% awesome video, very impressed 5/5. anyway i couldn't hear you did you say it COULD view youtube?

[Hazardteamck]

Thank you! The Centro can view youtube videos(youtube mobile) Anymore questions please reply!

[tturbo50]

is there a way to transfer your mp3 to your ring tone?

[Hazardteamck]

Not that I know of. But however, I beamed a voice memo over to my old treo 650 and it poped up as a ring tone. Also you can record ring tones from the sounds application just hit new when your at the sounds application! Anymore questions pleaase reply!

[islandboy2010]

does it have wifi

[Hazardteamck]

The Centro does NOT have wifi. Anymore questions pleaase reply.

[islandboy2010]

i am wondering if i should get the blackberry curve 8330 or the palm centro, i realy like the plam centro but is the texting hard.

[Hazardteamck]

you schould get the centro because blackberry curve is NOT touchscreen. Also the keys are not that much smaller than the blackberry its just that the centros is more packed. We highly recommend that you try out the phone before you get it. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN desision and if you blame me or sue me or try to hack into my account and find the IP address to my computer, I will block you and never help you again. AGAIN IM NOT RESPONSIBLE for your choice. Anymore questions please reply!

[islandboy2010]

wow, well thanks for your help, im going to try them both out to see how they are, thanks for the help.

[Hazardteamck]

anymore questions please contact us again!
