Palm Centro
Frazier Barretto, Apr 01, 2008 1132 hrs IST
Touchscreen -- yes, QWERTY -- yes, but
Large touchscreen, sleek, Bluetooth v1.2 (A2DP)
Poor build, only trial software, poor bundle
The Camera
The 1.3 MP camera is decent; you get good-quality images in day shots. The night shots (or snaps taken when the lighting is bad) are poor. The camera allows for 2x digital zoom. There's video recording as well, which is just about average.
Multimedia
This is a decent multimedia phone; according to the folks at Palm, they've concentrated on making it a really good multimedia handset. The 8300 Curve is a similar attempt from BlackBerry, which turned out really well. The Centro on the other hand is not the best that one can get for this price.
All it has is Pocket Tunes, a very basic music player, and Palm's own player for video. The phone has wireless stereo audio capabilities (A2DP) through Bluetooth v1.2. The phone doesn't offer an FM tuner, and coming bundled with a mono-headset and no memory (not in the sample handset), I don't really see this as a multimedia phone.
USER COMMENTS
You can sell it for anything between 10k & 12 K.Anything below would be a big loss.

I am using the e 62 which I think is much better than this thing, with better battery, bigger screen (although lower on resolution than this ) and lots of free and crk software available, no camera (better than good-for-nothin 1.3 Mp),plus I get the symbian os which is the best os out there for mobile, all this for 9300 only(no I am not sellin , I am just tellin that I bought it for rs9300)

i think u r nokia dealer coz nobody in the world will say what you said. you are comparing pda device with your normal nokia device. mr. just use your device for e-mails. just connect your device with the microsoft exchange server or ibm lotus notes then you will realise how bad your device is. i don't think you have ever used any pda device. anywayz
