Palm Centro Mobile Phone
July 16, 2008
The first impression about the Palm Centro Bluetooth Mobile Phone is all about refinement. The machine simply looks the embodiment of refinement. A fine piece of innovation, tailor-made for the connoisseur, starts life as late as at 5 o' clock, as it starts for the dynamic executive or so claims the company. The thing is pretty small with a full QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen.
The World at your Doors
All thanks to a fast, Blazer mobile web browser that comes built in the phone and the synergy provided by the GSM, GPRS and EDGE, combined. The firing of a text as Instant Message and launching an E-mail along with handsfree talking is materialised by the Centro by means of MSN, Yahoo or AIM. The Palm also has nowhere to go for an operating system while they proudly furnish the model with their own best.
The Second Mate
When on the go, there is very few machines that pars the features offered by the Centro. Keeping in touch with the needed lot is a no-worries matter here and the Web support more than proves handy. Apart from all these, an explicit Google map strengthens this part further by highlighting locations, freeways, parking lots etc. A good number of Points of Interest like hotels, restaurants and picnic spots are also available on the map and what more than the display of red, yellow and green routes in real time.
And a Good Entertainer
The Palm Centro Multimedia Mobile Phone comes with a 1.3 MP camera that realises still as well as motion images and an audio player that can play various files as the MP3, AAC, WMA etc. The pictures can well be stored in digital albums or synchronised with a computer. In addition to these, the phone promptly offers multiple aspects of convenience as the organiser, Calendar, Tasks list and Memos.

Palm TREO 680 Mobile Phone
June 14, 2008
The Palm TREO 680 Quad Band Mobile Phone comes from the backyard of a ‘once upon a time, PDA king'- the Palm. They had their previous model buttressed with a Windows OS but has contented to their own Palm OS for their neonate. One problem of this operating system, to be frank, is the inability to run multiple applications at a time. Still, it facilitates call response by preset text messages, easy addition to contacts list numbers and conference calling of the three-way. There is also a large touchscreen with QWERTY keyboard and a stylus for easier manipulation. The absence of a stubby aerial that was the hallmark of the previous model is also worth mentioning. The QWERTY buttons are on the difficult side in terms of ease of use, considering some other models sporting larger, flatter keypads for better manoeuvring.
Connectivity Aspects
The model is not exactly a 3G phone. Nor is it an HSDPA powered one. This one is a GPRS device glorified by a Quad Band GSM network with EDGE advantage. That says primarily, the story of the lack of speed. The phone can obviously tout of a fair Bluetooth 1.2 version back up for data transferring, though it senses the grave absence of WiFi, somewhere. An Infrared port is an added feature in the unit. However, the 64 Mb, internal memory of the phone that is very much subject to expansion of up to 2 GB by means of SD, SDIO or MMC, is its fortified facet. The best part of a business phone is certainly the cheaper mode of communication, through text and multimedia messages. Here, the phone definitely shows justice by the envisioned inclusion of the Versamail messaging aspect that emerges a powerful email client supporting many popular desktop E-mail clients other than IPOP and IMAP accounts. It further capacitates the wireless downloading of mails. Other relative versions like the conventional SMS and the multimedia files-sending MMS are also supported here in the Palm TREO 680 Bluetooth Mobile Phone .
Ordinary Amusement aspects
The stature of a business phone perhaps might be the reason for the manufacturer's carelessness in this sector. It is sad that a high profile phone like this model seldom could adorn its photography orientation with at least a 2 MP camera with relevant supportive features. Here the phone employs a 640 x 480 resolutions camera for still image realisation with a 2 x digital zoom that only deteriorates the image quality. The soul relief here is an automatic White-Balancing feature. There is an MP3 player too though there is no much to shroud it with.
