New Phone

New phone. I got myself a Palm Centro (on the deathstar - AT&T) after a coworker replaced his aging/ancient PalmIIIxe with a Centro (Sprint). While he didn’t get a data plan, I was able to get enough of a feel of the device’s interface & formfactor to know that this would have all of the smartphone features I’ve wanted since losing my old OmniSky sevice (to the passing of old telecom tech into the depths of history) - namely a qwerty keyboard that had a good physical feel while still being compact.

The Centro is a good middle ground between a sub-qwerty crackberry keyboard, the wider units like the treo and blackjack, and the thin keyboard sliders from HTC and Helio.
