With HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly. Print wirelessly.
The Palm Centro is an attractive option not just for Palm devotees but also for anyone seeking an inexpensive smart phone with a QWERTY keyboard. Previously, we tested a Centro available on the Sprint network; the version reviewed here is available from AT&T ($200 with a two-year contract).
The two phones look virtually identical on the outside, but they differ internally. While the EvDO-capable Sprint Centro supports wireless broadband, the AT&T Centro supports only the comparatively slow EDGE network for data transmissions. Another difference surfaced in our performance tests: The AT&T Centro's battery lasted 6 hours, 47 minutes, while the Sprint-based Centro's battery lasted 4 hours, 19 minutes.
Since the two versions share the same design, see our review of the Sprint handset for our full impression of the Centro's design and usability.
