State of the art. 😉 And yeah, if you look at more of the pics (from the CES/Phonescoop website, the the ancient one the smartass OP linked) you’ll see that the one at CES had a Sprint logo already. ---

I the the phone itself is pretty ugly but the OS looks great. From the little bit that I have seen in the demos, I like it better than the iPhone OS. ---

I suspect that Verizon will hop on that boat shortly there-after Agreed, I have a palm centro and its the best phone i’ve ever had, all the navigation is really well thought out and easy, though yeah, its definitely ugly… I am fucking sick of this touchscreen business, I really really wanna see something new…that has buttons! Touchscreen is fun and somewhat useful but so very impractical without buttons, so far this centro is the best I have come across, all navigation can be done either by touch, or buttons. This all touch trend is gonna come back and bite the phone industry in the ass… ---

Besides issuing new hardware, the company also demoed a completely original... What a shame. It’s only coming to CDMA via Sprint. Up until that point it honestly was sounding like Palm had come up with a device that could go head to head with the iPhone. Well, as long as you haven’t drinking too much Apple Kool Aid. ---

The Centro is the best because all navigation can be done by touch or buttons? What, you don’t like the jedi mind control phones? :wtf: ---

Inductive. Set the thing down on a charging plate and it starts charging, pick it up as needed. ---

Well the phone looks very attractive… I cant speak for the OS but they just killed off half of their buyers by going with those baby keys (the same ones they use on the Centro). Most men wont be able to type well at all on those things. ---
