I'm curious--have you heard whether or not Palm will release the Centro to other mobile companies? I have t-mobile and would -love- this phone! Great review.

But as a hearing aid wearer -- the non hearing compatibility is a non starter. Plus I'm pretty locked in at Sprint. And despite problems they seem to have holding on to customers -- I've been quite pleased. I've read really good things about the Centro. Even from such interaction designers and bloggers that praise the iPhone. That's a real testament to Palm's expertise here. I just bought a new phone from Sprint (and didn't go the way of the smartphone -- I'm still not ready to admit I'm that much of a geek). But the Centro is compelling. And although I like the looks of my Samsung m300 --- the UI is such a mishmash of competing ideas that I cringe when I have to do anything other than send a text message. Or make a call. I may just have think about upgrading again. Thanks for this review. The UI is what makes the iPhone for me. But as a hearing aid wearer — the non hearing compatibility is a non starter.
