If you are a windows lover, stop the reading "here". Otherwise keep going if you are interested on another option of O.S. level. I don't know why people like to complain about a phone with out find out his level on a specific brand.
I'm palm lover. But I can't say much about Centro, my new mobile. Is not a top end smart phone. I could say it's a low end, but you may say what about 500v. I already told you stop reading windows guy, that is a windows mobile phone.
Cons:
- Lack of mayor upgrades such as processor speed, capacity, camera, Wireless(is not the Centro, is Palm itself)
- Blazer internet browser: Where the connect/disconnect option gone?
- Back cover(This is a really pain in the A**)
Pros:
- Voice recognition
- A better internet experience
- File browser application(bonus software)
- Capacity
- Compact
I compare this phone with my old Treo650.

I love my Palm Centro. The functionality is great. I was occasionally experiencing the freezing up but ever since I did a hard re-set (that is sort of like a system restore which returns the phone back to it's original state when first purchased), everything has been fine. Of course, I first made sure I hot sync the phone contents to my desktop beforehand. Once I reset the phone, I hotsync from desktop to phone. No more freezes since that time.
But back to the centro features. I find I use it less for the telephone and more for the internet, text messaging, tv watching, etc. The On Demand program that came with the phone is great. I also watch Sprint TV. The internet browsing is fast. I am always on youtube.com viewing videos.
The ringtones I download sound fantastic. I even created voice ringtones on the phone.
Loving my centro!

You have obviously installed some incompatible third party software that is causing the problem.

to set a mp3 as ringtone you'd need to install an app on the phone: minitones . using minitones you are able to trim songs OR use already customed clips for ringtones.

You can actually use mp3 music as Centro's ringtone. It involves using Blazer web browser to open the mp3 file then save it as ringtone. I found the detail instruction while searching the internet. It works.

Hi!
It seems that your speaker volume is set to low.
Try the following:
During the call, press the up button or the upper side button until the volume is high enough.
Hope this Helps :)

to who may be concerned.
I have just purchased your palm central on Monday, 11th May 2008 in Singapore.
However I have come across a problem, everytime I answer a telephone call or I
make a call, the speaker to too soft and so I cannot hear the person on the other
end of the line. Do you have a solution for this problem?

Practically the only thing that causes freezes with palm are rouge 3rd party programs. In case anyone here experiences this, you could check out some forums for their suggested applications and see if yours is part of the list, if not remove it. Another way is to do a hard reset and reinstall everything one by one, checking stability along the way.
