@4myer Yes it does, for now. The only custom backround you can have is in the phone application. You can choose between a dial pad or a custom backround.
Hello, thank you very much for this reveiw. I do have a question regarding the phone. Is it compatibile with a T-mobile SIM card? Also, this may be a silly question, but do you have to pay for browser service with your provider in order to access the internet functions such as google? Can you connect to wifi networks? If so, are you able to access all the sites on the internet, or only specific ones? Thanks again, as you can tell, I do not have any experience with smart phones :)
@nosmohTnasuS No problem! In order for it to work on T-Mobile, you would need to buy the unlocked GSM version of the Centro. I do not believe you have to pay a fee for accessing Google other than the Data plan on your plan. The Centro does not have WiFi. If you have anymore questions, please reply!
@weiha1129 I would agree with you on that. The browser is outdated and is not as good as modern day smartphones but it is certainly better than regular simple phone browsers on basic phones.
Yes, the Palm Centro is still a great phone and is still superior average phone. There is only one application where you can customzie wall paper and that is in the phone application. See my video on how to change backround on Palm Centro. Yes this phone is easy to use and works great! Be careful with FREE 3rd party applications, some can be unstable and will cause the device to work slow and crash.
You would need to contact Palm because they have the right tools and parts to fix it. Probably something wrong with the keyboard, On my friends phone, she also has the same problem but its with the directional pad.
Both devices are great. It really depends on what you want. The reason I like the Centro is because it is smaller than the droid and feels more natural in my hands unlike with the Droid's boxy shape. But the Droid has its advantages also. It has more applications than the Centro, better web browser, bigger keyboard etc.
Nice review. Just ordered mine today. The lady said from sprint that gps is built in, but you said it wasnt? Also, cause you use this phone as a modem for your laptop? thanks man
Yes you would be able to view a YouTube video. However the type of player the Centro uses is completely different from the one on a computer. The Centro must connect to the internet and buffer before you can rewind or fast foward unlike on a computer where its instant. Also you cannot play YouTube videos while surfing the web, you can only do one at a time. Anymore questions please reply!
I was going to get this phone. But when I was going to get it they said it locks up alot and they have lots of complants so is that true???????????????????
Not necessarily. A lot of those people that have crashing Centro's/Treo's install unstable free applications and most of the time, that is what is causing the phone to crash. The free application is sometimes a prototype of the final version or the version that you must buy. A simple hard reset will probably fix the problem but the Palm software for the computer syncs the applications and drivers back into the phone so you have to check it not to do that in the settings. Anymore questions reply!
I really want to get this phone, but I have been looking at reviews because I do not want to make the mistake of getting it if it is bad. I have a few questions. Im a girl with pretty small hands, will texting be easy for me? All i really do is go online and text, with the occassional phone call, does the battery die quickly? Overall, are you happy with this phone? Thanks! love the video
No, this phone is a really great phone and just very advanced compared to regular phones. Since I do not know how big your fingers are then I would recommend going to like a Verizion Store and try out the phone for yourself. Yes this phone is great for texting and internet and the nice thing about the texting is it displays it like an instant messanger! Also for battery, it depends on how you use the device. For what your doing, I would not worry! I am very happy with the Palm Centro!
Yes you can set your own wallpaper just on the phone application. However I have heard that there are third party applications you can download to make it appear on other parts of the device. Could you be more specific about the second question please!
Overall, yes. It really depends on what features you want and what you plan on using your phone for (internet, text messaging, email etc). Like I would recommend this phone for anyone looking to get a PDA and/or upgrading from a regular flip phone and looking for a not too advanced but simple and easy to use phone!Please reply if you have anymore questions!
When you receive a new text message, it will bring up a screen that says new text message and it will show you the text message in that screen. At the bottom of that screen you have the option to reply or ok. Also if you have the ringer set and the ringer off swtich is not turned off at the top, it will ring.
Hello, im getting an upgrade soon and I was interested in this phone. Do you HAVE to pay for the data plan? Because I want it for texting, [i have unlimited] and media. Thanks!
Yes I do have unlimited data on my plan! I think with AIM you need either a data or texting plan or both! I don't know! Anymore quesitons be sure to contact me again!!
I have a question, I am getting an upgrade from sprint soon and I was thinking about getting this phone. Do you HAVE to get the data plan? Because I have unlimited text, and I just wanted to use it for text, video, music etc. Couldnt I just boot that on an sd card? Thank you! =) 5/5 btw.
You can transfer your music, video and pictures VIA the USB cable and Palm Desktop Software, supplied with the Palm Centro. If you have anymore quesitons be sure to reply!
You would need to check with your service provider becuase I do not have AT&T and would not know. I only cover features and/or problems with the device, not service cost.
I have been saying this to everyone who asks about the keyboard. If you don't know, then go to a store that has the Centro on display and see how well your fingers are on the keyboard becuase I do not know your finger size. It may be hard at first but I have no problem typing on it! I just use the very tip of my finger
hey just watched your vid and i definently want to buy this phone now. question though. first, can you get apps for it, is there navigation on it, and last can it vibrate with the ringer???? thanks
Yes, this is a great phone and do recommend it! Yes Palm has an Application store where you can purchase and download applications. Its called Palm Software connection. What do you mean by navigation? Do you mean navigation cluser? Yes there is a five way navigation control so you dont have to be using the touchscreen all the time. Yes you can set the phone to vibrate and ring. Anymore questions please reply!
I mean does it have a navigation thing that tells you where to go. I might get rid of the instinct and i just hate it. texting way too hard and just one more question. You said you can get apps, are some of them free or do you have to pay for them and is there a movie app that tells you movie times. thanks
I do apologize but I still don't know what you mean. Could you give me an example? Ok here is a little preview on how the OS works, you go into an application and to get out of it, you press the home button and go to another application. There is some that are free and cost money but the ones that do cost money, they are more stable than the free ones. I do not know if there is a movie application. You could go type it up on Google. You can use Googlemaps to find movie theathers if you have data
how much space does the microSD card have that comes with the phone (my carrier is Sprint, if that matters) and what size microSD card will this phone support? thanks
If you buy it straight from Palm or from a carrier then yes, it will come with a sync caable. If you get it used or thourgh other places then it is not guranteed to come with a sync cable. Anymore questions please be sure to reply!
Go to your phone application by pressing the phone button on the front of the phone and you press the number keys on the keyboard to dial a number, Please refer to the manual which can better explain it to you. You can answer a phone call by pressing the green button on the middle left side of the phone.
Yes you can, just go to the voice memo, then tap the upper left-hand corner of the screen, then you should see copy to ringtones. You can record as much as your internal memory will hold. Anymore quesitons please reply!
I have this phone for verizon, but I dont have data but am considering getting it. Can google maps tell you where you are or even just a lat long reading? thanks
Yes, Google maps will try to determine your location based on cell tower activity. I would say that its 93% accurate most of the time. Anymore questions please reply!
I don't mean to offend you but your question seems unusual and I have been getting so many quesitons like does this phone have a phone, is it ok to eat this phone, does the phone have a battery door and battery, does this phone have a cover so the parts arent exposed etc. AGAIN I DON'T MEAN TO OFFEND YOU IN ANYWAY!! Yes the browser comes with the Centro but you must have a data plan in order to use it WITHOUT extra charges! Anymore questions be sure to reply!
It depends on what you mean by "silent". If you don't want the phone to ring or make noise, then you can turn off all sounds using the ringer off switch at the top of the phone which will set it into vibrate mode. To silence all calls or text messages, you can just simply turn off the phone.
im bout to get one and idk if i want it know or not but not because of your video i was wondering if you can set a background?? thanks i will subscribe!
Yes you do need service in order to use the browser and other internet services but you cant use WIFI because the Centro DOES NOT come with WiFi. Anymore quesitons please reply!
You don't need to keep saying help becuase I am here and I will help you when you leave a comment or message. I would suggest that you go to a store that has the Centro on display and try it out for yourself.
I think it comes with facebook and I dont know about aim. I know for sure it doesent come with MySpace but however, you can access MySpace mobile using the browser if you have a data on your plan or other carrier fees may apply! Anymore questions please reply!
Thank you! We are very aware of this problem and have been aware of it since we uploaded it. We beleive there was an error while we were importing it and did not know until we actually uploaded it to YouTube. We are going to upload more Palm Centro reviews in the future that break it down into categories like tools, phone, etc in different videos. We are going to upload a Palm Centro tools review in a couple of months! Anymore questions be sure to reply or send us a message!
Is there a limit to the size of the ms word document that i can edit? Also how do you get the documents on the phone, through the micro sd? Can i sync my ms outlook calenders and mail to the phone so i dont have to use the internet to view them?
Yes there is and I think its how much the memory can store. Are you trying to get a document from your PC to the MicroSD card? If this is right, then you will need to download the documents to go for the desktop. You can download it from the CD that came with your phone or from Palm. On Google search, type in Palm Centro bonus software. Now with the outlook, I think you can, but I have not tried it so I cannot gurantee anything. Sorry! Anymore questions be sure to reply!
That little light is your indicator for when your charging and can serve as your signal indicator like it will blink green when you have reception. Anymore quesitons be sure to reply!
The downside with the Centro is that the browser won't have that much more detail. If you want to use the Centro for multimedia, then I would keep the Instinct becuase instinct is better for multimedia(pictures, videos, music etc) but if you want a PDA, then I would get the Centro. May I ask what you use your instinct for mainly? If you reply, I can help you better! Anymore questions please reply!
May I ask what CV is? I looked it up and I could not find it! Sorry! If you reply with an answer, I will do my best to help you! Anymore questions? PLease reply!
i no on verizon it dont need a data plan i no that they said if you get that you dont get the e-mail and internet but if you get data you get all the web browser stuff but i hope to get it on my up gade dose the keybord get easy 2 use can you use real mp3 ringtones?
get the palm so let me no if over all its easy to use and if the kebord is hard to text i tryed it at the store it felt small but do you get use to it fast get back to me soon my up grade is on the 5th of next month and the web browser looked cool thanks. some say its hard to use and hard to make phone calls is thats true? by write back
the four main buttons on the centro, i wanna put the envelope icon one as my text messageing, i do not have internet and everytime i press the envelope the email thing comes up, how do i change it to text messages?
I have tons of questions because I've narrowed my search down to 2 phones: the Palm Centro and the Samsung Instinct. Do you have an email address for us to chat, or can you answer my questions in this review?
Does the Centro have a feature where I can "share" a calendar event w/someone via text message (so my Husband can be aware of our kids' schedules)? Let's start with that question first.
This was a very informative video/tutorial. I'm trying to make an informed decision regarding the Palm Centro and this, so far, is the best I've seen. I feel like I won't need the manual! Great job. I look forward to reading more reviews from you.
Thank you! If you need any help on deciding which phone, or want to know specific features on the Palm Centro, please feel free to contact us again and I will be glad to help you!
Yes it does but I DO NOT KNOW again I DO NOT KNOW how much it is to go on the internet. And it will cost more if you dont have unlimited or a huge amount, so check your carrier for details.
very good review.. 5 stars :)

If your not sure, then go to a store that has it on display and try it out and see if the keys are too small for you!
Hazardteamck 2 years ago
You don't need to keep saying help becuase I am here and I will help you when you leave a comment or message. I would suggest that you go to a store that has the Centro on display and try it out for yourself.

Thank you! We are very aware of this problem and have been aware of it since we uploaded it. We beleive there was an error while we were importing it and did not know until we actually uploaded it to YouTube. We are going to upload more Palm Centro reviews in the future that break it down into categories like tools, phone, etc in different videos. We are going to upload a Palm Centro tools review in a couple of months! Anymore questions be sure to reply or send us a message!

Is there a limit to the size of the ms word document that i can edit? Also how do you get the documents on the phone, through the micro sd? Can i sync my ms outlook calenders and mail to the phone so i dont have to use the internet to view them?
TheLostElement 2 years ago
Yes there is and I think its how much the memory can store. Are you trying to get a document from your PC to the MicroSD card? If this is right, then you will need to download the documents to go for the desktop. You can download it from the CD that came with your phone or from Palm. On Google search, type in Palm Centro bonus software. Now with the outlook, I think you can, but I have not tried it so I cannot gurantee anything. Sorry! Anymore questions be sure to reply!

vvillarreal19 3 years ago
You would need to sync them to device and make sure they are in the correct format which I THINK is midi.

im selling my Instinct and getting this, is that a good move, i guess i should of asked first, lol
otis81388 3 years ago
The downside with the Centro is that the browser won't have that much more detail. If you want to use the Centro for multimedia, then I would keep the Instinct becuase instinct is better for multimedia(pictures, videos, music etc) but if you want a PDA, then I would get the Centro. May I ask what you use your instinct for mainly? If you reply, I can help you better! Anymore questions please reply!

No, that is a false rumor. PDA/Smartphones are the same as regular cell phones at messing up.

Please spcify a carier. The only one that I know of is sprint. You can go to your carriers website and find out.
Hazardteamck 3 years ago
so did you mean i can use youtube videos for a little bit. does that mean that i can watch like 5 youtube videos for free?
aj1ness 3 years ago
No, I have a LIMITED INTERNET. That is what I mean by that. If you have unlimited internet on your plan, then it will be just fine!
Hazardteamck 3 years ago
how much is limited internet
bigdustindizzel 3 years ago
I have tons of questions because I've narrowed my search down to 2 phones: the Palm Centro and the Samsung Instinct. Do you have an email address for us to chat, or can you answer my questions in this review?
Does the Centro have a feature where I can "share" a calendar event w/someone via text message (so my Husband can be aware of our kids' schedules)? Let's start with that question first.
mskita007 3 years ago
Let me answer you question via youtubes messaging system!
Hazardteamck 3 years ago
Sure. I'm ready. I have 3 questions:
(1). Listed in my earlier post (regarding "calendar invitations").
(2). What's "Sprint Get Email"? Is this different from the other Email folder?
(3). Does the Centro have a copy/paste function?
mskita007 3 years ago
This was a very informative video/tutorial. I'm trying to make an informed decision regarding the Palm Centro and this, so far, is the best I've seen. I feel like I won't need the manual! Great job. I look forward to reading more reviews from you.
mskita007 3 years ago
Thank you! If you need any help on deciding which phone, or want to know specific features on the Palm Centro, please feel free to contact us again and I will be glad to help you!
Hazardteamck 3 years ago
Do you have a review on the Samsung Instinct? I didnt see one (unless I overlooked it). I love your reviews. They're so thorough.

hi; thanks for the review;
but does it cost more to get on the internet and check ur email??
derrica12 3 years ago
Yes it does but I DO NOT KNOW again I DO NOT KNOW how much it is to go on the internet. And it will cost more if you dont have unlimited or a huge amount, so check your carrier for details.
