Default Ugh - debating whether to replace 755p or go Centro

For some reason the Centro is appealing but can't seem to let go to f the 755p. I have discounts on both through Sprint ($30 for Centro and $100 for 755p). I've read all of the comparisons, but still cant make a decision. Anyone else going through that? I wish I had my Treo 300 back...what was so wrong with a flip phone?

I can tell you that the Centro is a solid device. It has been the best device I've own. I can't make the comparison of the 755 but I did move up from the 700p to the Centro and I've never regretted that.

Good Luck

I went through 4 Centros before I switched to the 755p & I personally think the 755 is tons better than the Centro, physically. The Keyboard and screen size are a world of difference. It all depends on your personal needs though, the Centro [i]does[\i] have access to internet radio via pTunes and My Location within Google Maps; both of which are not available on the 755. (well, the internet radio is, but you have to pay for the upgrade). Other than that I don't believe there's any other software differences..? Oh, a minor one- PocketDoan's vibration feature works on the 755 but not on the Centro haha.

i went from a 680 to a centro and it is the best move ive made (with mobile devices). I highly recommend the centro.

fstop,

I agree on the keyboard issue. It's too small for my liking but the rest is solid for me.

However, in the past several days i've have a series of resets. I seldom had a reset before that.

Good Luck
