1SRC Podcast 158 Special guests Jeff Kirvin and Tyler Faux help me celebrate the third anniversary of the 1SRC Podcast! [via 1src] by alex_mathews, 9th December 2007 - 11:13 PM Treonauts Review: Palm Centro Air Case Treonauts has published a review of the Palm Centro Air Case. This week Palm released its first official Centro case with the launch of the excellent Palm Centro Air Case (pictured below) which I have quickly selected as my favourite Centro hard case

A report from Strategy Analytics Wireless Device Lab suggests that the Samsung i760, one of this guy’s top ten ugliest smartphones, is one of the most appealing innovative design in the cellphone industry. The report titled “Design Labs USA: Palm Centro & Samsung i760 Most Appealing Innovative Designs” puts the Palm Centro on top of the list based on consumer reaction. Among the top five are two Windows Mobile phones, the Samsung i760 and the Pantech C810.

It was the new Palm Centro, however, which got the most oohs and ahhs. The phones tested are all pre-launched or newly launched handsets. The market was divided into groups: “Style Seeker”, “High Data”, “Multifunction”, “Voice + Music”, “Voice + PIM”, etc. The LG Rumor scored well on “Multifuntion” and “Voice + PIM” and got positive scores as well wth “Style Seekers and :High data” markets. Meanwhile, the Nokia Prism, the fifth device, is voted most “feminine.”

Cnet reviews the Sprint Palm Centro: “The Sprint Palm Centro costs $99 with a two-year contract, which is a bargain for a smartphone, especially when you consider that you get all the features of a Treo and more. The Sprint Palm Centro offers ease of use, so first-time smartphone buyers shouldn’t be intimidated, and it also provides a nice middle ground between the really basic and youth-oriented T-Mobile Sidekick 3 and more business-featured devices like the Sprint Mogul. The Sprint Palm Centro certainly isn’t without problems. There are some major design issues; it’s not the best choice for serious business users, and it certainly wasn’t the type of innovation we were hoping for from the company.

The good: The Sprint Palm Centro sheds some of the weight and bulk of Palm Treo to make for a more compact smartphone. It also carries an attractive price tag and offers a lot for the money, including Bluetooth, EV-DO support, push e-mail, and a suite of productivity apps.

The bad: The Centro’s QWERTY keyboard is extremely cramped and the hardware feels a bit toylike. The phone’s speaker is on the weaker side, and it lacks Wi-Fi.

The bottom line: The Sprint Palm Centro isn’t ...

Palm Treo 750 is now sold unlocked and with Windows Mobile 6. The new unlocked version of the Palm Treo 750 will give consumers the opportunity to take their phone with them around the world, and not have any attachment to a specific carrier. 

EngadgetMobile has more: “Palm’s now selling its co-flagship Palm Treo 750 with Windows Mobile 6 direct and unlocked for $549. The GSM world phone can of course do the 3G thing in the US and Europe, so it’s ideal the jet set type willing to deal with the Treo bulk, but other than the unlock it’s the same old Treo, so we’re sure you’ve already decided whether this one’s right for you. The phone is available at Palm’s online and retail stores.”

The new Palm treo 755p can be placed right between the 680 and 750 regarding what it is and what it can do. It combines the software and features of treo 700p and the antenna less aesthetics of 680/750. To the hand, it feels much like the 750, thanks to its rubberized paint. But the [...]

Smart phones have been a bit of a cost factor to many with price tags at $500 and up, but the new Palm Centro is changing all that with its low cost at around $100 is a lot more tempting than an Iphone or other multi functional cell phone.
