			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Monthly is narrow expensive for me. I&#8217;m happy with Sprint Relay plan with my (ick) Centro) which is only $30 per month. Acknowledge that there is TAP plan for deaf but it&#8217;s still bit expensive than the normally which is $50 on 3G and $40 on original (EDGE).</p>
<p>2. There is no copy and paste feature. Imagine that its advance operator system for mobile and yet, it has no copy/paste!</p>
<p>3. Typing would slow me down. Of course, it would take time me to learn. Unfortunately, I couldn&#8217;t typing with one hand.</p>
<p>4. I fear that iPhone is like a glasses. Accessories are annoying. I prefer mobile phone in naked and be proud.</p>
<p>5. There is no tethering allow, at&#038;t demand us to pay extra. Whatever I&#8217;m on road, I need an Internet on computer unlike seen on mobile phone. Yeah, I know there is Netshare but it keep removed from iTunes store.</p>
<p>6. 3G coverage isn&#8217;t great enough compare to EVDO. its better to await until it grow more. The more I will be satisfactory.</p>
<p>7. There is no video recorder mode. Have to buy an application to running iPhone as camcorder.</p>
<p>8. Lack battery, I may eat up battery when use <del datetime="2008-08-26T20:48:10+00:00">pushy</del> IMAP e-mail system. I&#8217;m medium user on surf web, e-mail and text-message.</p>
<p>Hello <a href='http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/' />iPod Touch</a>, here I come!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://iballoon.crazytech.com/images/centro.png" align="right">Since you everybody know that I have Treo&#8217;s display cracked. I manage my spare time by go to Sprint Repair Center. They told that they cannot repair the display and offer two option that I could get <a href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/centro/" target="blank">Centro</a> without any charge and no affect on my current contract. Or I could go to other city, like 30 minutes and get my display repair for 2 days as I couldn&#8217;t have in my pocket for a while.</p>
<p>Ehh&#8230; my action is to take Centro. Red or pink, customer service asked me. I take red one, frankly, I wish there is black one but they don&#8217;t have one.<br />
<span id="more-110"></span><br />
My first hand on Centro and I test it for couple hours after I sync to my laptop. Yes, I did backup what I have on Treo, since it running Palm OS. How fortunately for me, include all software and important information I have. For few minutes I have play around.</p>
<p>My reply&#8230;. <b><font size="+2">I HATE IT!</font></b></p>
<p>Why? Glad you askâ€¦</p>
<blockquote><p><b>Instant Message</b><br />
Centro&#8217;s IM already in there and it sucks because of limited buddy listing. I switch to my favorite <a href="http://www.mundu.com/" target="blank">Mundu</a> and it didn&#8217;t work. So, I found new update Mundu 4.1 which function well on Centro. It allow me to send picture through AIM or Yahoo which is awesome.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><b>E-Mail</b><br />
I use <a href="http://www.palm.com/us/software/chatteremail/" target="blank">ChatterEmail</a> which I can get push e-mail like blackberry which is cool. Althought, I&#8217;m sad to know I couldn&#8217;t see LED flashing to let me know if I have new incoming message. I tried to set as pop-up to show i have new message. No, it show un-function as I couldn&#8217;t get in message or either turn it off. Text size doesn&#8217;t allow me to custom the way I like to read. The header where e-mail and subject go in the box, it appear none as it make me feel awkward to read like if something is wrong with my eye and brain.<br />
<font color="#666666"><u>UPDATE:</u> Someone poke my shoulder, there is new ChatterEmail update that fix correct for Centro. I downloaded and it works so well, except the LED signaler that doesn&#8217;t flash but instead still LED on until I check it. It will turn off. That little weird but it&#8217;s okay for now.</font></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><b>Vibrating</b><br />
The vibrating signaler is kinda weak when I put Centro in my pocket. Sure, it&#8217;s nice to have small device to feel more comfortable among to my hip. Unfortunately, I am miss some incoming message on time. For sake, I&#8217;m deaf!</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><b>QWERTY</b><br />
The keyboard are so tiny, and it&#8217;s kind difficult for me to typing. The more I typing, it becomes little sore on my tip of thumb between nail and fresh. I guess I probably have to take time to get usually with tiny keyboard.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><b>Memory</b><br />
Centro have built-in 64 MB storage unlike Treo, which it have 128 MB, that&#8217;s double different. Of course, it have slot for memory card to add more. Unfortunately, Centro accept only micro-SD instead regular SD. That mean, I couldn&#8217;t use my digital camera&#8217;s SD to put in Centro and send some picture to friend or family. That&#8217;s really sucks.</p></blockquote>
<p>Gawd! I want my Treo back! I think I&#8217;ll come back on Thursday to Sprint Repair Center to see if they have Treo 755p available. I recall one customer SVC staff said they won&#8217;t have Treo until 2 days later. So, hopefully, I can get new Treo. Or I could learn to love Centro. *gagging*</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know what happen to my Treo&#8217;s display. It cracked. No worry, everything is function but the touch screen isn&#8217;t, I check. It&#8217;s my sad day, I couldn&#8217;t touch as short-cute. Some area from the display, I have hard time to read.</p>
<p>Good thing, I have insurance cover from my carrier service. Shall see what happen when I sent to the repair center. I&#8217;m think about get <a href="https://www.nokiausa.com/A4409015">Nokia E70</a>, if I can afford it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.palm.com/us/images/products/smartphones/treo700p/overview_t700p_photo.jpg" align="left">Okay, here is a brief that I got a raise from my work which is excellent news. So, I decide and get new mobile phone since my <a href="http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,,72267,00.html">Nokia 6822</a> seem have problem lately. So, I brought <a href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treo700p/">Treo 700p</a> under Sprint. Yes, that&#8217;s right, I have switch from Cingular (as former AT&#038;T Wireless) to Sprint. Oh, it satisfactory me at most of needs thru wireless and personal. Oh, don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s same mobile phone I still had since.</p>
<p><b>History I had PDA that running under Palm OS in order:</b><br />
• <a href="http://www.computerpoweruser.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/hardware/2001/h0411/27h11.asp&#038;guid=">Visor Neo</a> &#8211; It has no wireless, just like original PDA.<br />
• <a href="http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/review/palm_i705_review">i705</a> &#8211; my first wireless PDA, unfortunately Palm Network stop service<br />
• <a href="http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/handhelds/0,39023878,10003966,00.htm">Tungsten W</a> &#8211; my first smartphone, but I lost and probably stole</p>
<p>Web browser, I select data plan only with SMS (text-msg) package. That data is incredible that I ever experience. It&#8217;s like Wi-Fi in long-range, the speed is nearly faster as DSL, since it&#8217;s under Sprint&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EVDO">EvDO</a>, the new fastest baud for data unlike EDGE (which is under GSM such as Cingular and T-Mobile). The test accord from dslreports.com/mspeed, I get nearly 900 kbps download and 100 kbps upload. Browser is much nice, it allow me two optional view &#8211; auto-fit the wide on display or standard in WYSIWYG  (sort of). I able to check almost every website without flash and java. Heck, I can check for traffic, weather, web e-mail and more!</p>
<p>Palm&#8217;s VersaMail is fair, since it won&#8217;t vibrator with auto-sync to check by schedule to get new incoming message. Only wonderful that I can send with picture and open attachment like Tungsten, I had. So, I decide to use <a href="http://www.chatteremail.com/">ChatteMail</a>. I find is much better, unfortunately, it cost 40 bucks. I am still on 30-day trailer to see how well it can done for my need.</p>
<p>SMS is great, can&#8217;t argue, because it&#8217;s practice like conversation room and I can send picture (MMS), unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t select the package since I have e-mail to do for me.</p>
<p>Instant Messenger is very difficult to find good one. I am not comfortable with Sprint&#8217;s AIM that running on web like AIM Express. The receive message will be send like SMS that would charge that plan. So, I tried real AIM application for Palm. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not work on advanced mobile phone. But good news, thank to my friend, he found an application called <a href="http://www.atomiccog.com/products/toccer-for-treo/">Toccer</a>. It&#8217;s still beta. So far as I test, it does remind me of i705 how thing work. The only one bug, I found so far, it shaking forever like crazy when I turned away message mode and sleep mode. So, I cannot leave like that. I looking forward on complete version of Toccer. Currently, it&#8217;s .9v. I hear that <a href="http://www.pdaapps.com/verichat/">VeriChat</a> is far better, but it charge one time a year. It does much better like AIM on computer. It sound great!</p>
<p><b>Feature on Treo what I know so far&#8230;</b></p>
<p>• Bluetooth, it&#8217;s bit difficult, unlike Nokia&#8217;s, I manage to get it work with my laptop for exchange picture and modem network.<br />
• Digital Camera 1.3 megapixel look very good for mobile I ever seen. Oh, the video mode able to make auto-focus while taping em during light and dark. That&#8217;s impressive compare to what my digital camera (Canon SD300) can&#8217;t do.<br />
• QWERTY seem does improve much than previous Treo model. It take few hours of curve learner and I getting comfortable to typing.<br />
• Display is very brightness and allow me to control from low to high.<br />
• Battery is average 1 to 2 days, depend how often I use. Good thing, it&#8217;s replaceable battery and it include two different charger: USB power to laptop and outlet without two split unlike Tungsten which is awful.<br />
• The signaler under Sprint is always on, no dropping network so far. It&#8217;s easy to turn signaler off and use it during offline. Love it!<br />
• HotSync work great with Mac OS, it&#8217;s bitter faster than before.<br />
• Navigator is great.<br />
• Keyguard is easy!</p>
<p>Overall, I thought how great Treo 700p can handle that much I like. Several thing, i would need to get know more when I&#8217;m out of city and other way to get thing work. Oh yeah, the size is bitter fair when i put it in my pocket. It&#8217;s not too bad but I would need an <a href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/accessories/">accessories</a> that carry for me. If that fit well for my need.</p>
