This is a superb replacement for Palm’s built-in phone software with a regular price of $19.95.

PalmInfocenter - TakePhone on Sale for $4.95

Bottom line: It’s a smaller, cheaper Treo and it is ‘perkier’. A few mm shaved here and there in a lighter package might not sound like much, but it actually does make a difference when you hold it in your hand.

I think this paragraph pretty much sums up the Centro (and Treo) regarding its features:

This phone is loaded, loaded, loaded.

This is not to say that more features are always better; it’s not. But if
you’re a feature counter, well, you may have just found your phone.

Touch screen? Check; there’s a flimsy plastic stylus tucked in the back, and
your finger works well, too. Camera? Check; the Centro takes very good
1.3 megapixel stills and videos. Memory-card expansion? Check; up to
four gigabytes. Removable battery? Check: 3.5 hours of talk time.
Ringer on/off switch? Affirmative; no frantically hunting through menus
as the concert hall lights dim.

And all for RM 1299. Granted its not as cheap as a US subsidized unit (which would just cost RM 315), but comparing to other phones in that price range, the Centro would pretty much be unrivaled. You probably be able to get just a feature phone at that price (remember, were talking non-subsidized phones here). The Centro is a full-blown Palm OS smartphone. If you close one eye to the lack of WiFi (hey, DiGi’s data unlimited plan is just RM 66 a month), the Centro will do everything you want it to.
