My cell phone contract is up for renewal in August. I'm thinking of going with a Palm Centro for my new phone (I loved my Palm Pilot back in the day).

The keyboard looks fucking tiny. Anyone know if the phone has a touch screen keyboard?

Do you have fat fingers. That's the real question we should be asking. I do and it's harsh. I can't press any small buttons accurately. :mellow:

Yeah, there's no on-screen keyboard. However, I think you might be able to get used to the small keyboard; I thought I'd never be able to but now I don't really have a problem. The key is to use only the nails on your thumbs to push the keys.

Check this one out, Bd - I got one, and it works a treat; full qwerty slider, 3G, and even I can make it work.

I have it in a hard cover (mainly for grippiness; it's a bit slippery/smooth for my hands) that clips to a quick-release on my belt.

You should definitely get the same phone as Kev. Then you can be phone brothers and you'll be the coolest kid on the block.

My carrier is Verizon and they don't carry that particular model, Kev.
Nice phone, btw.

I was referring to Kev. He can do with the cred. :lol:

I'm surprised that I like you, Kevin. You're a fan of wolverines and elephants, and I still like you.

Weird world, eh?

Ugh dont get one. yes, it is a touch screen, but no screen keyboard. The keys are very small, and the browser doesnt a majority of websites. That was the phone I had, and I hated it after the first day lol.. which is why I went for a blackberry this time round. No touch screen but a vast improvement for everything else.

Fuck. Thanks for that, dear. I have big hands; specifically my fingers. I'm a bit bummed out. The Centro was the only smartphone in Verizon's line-up that does not require a
data plan, ffs.



Peace, doobs
