My BlackBerry is most likely dead. I am looking for a data capable phone and can't afford 5 large for a new one. I have seen a lot of good deals on Palm Centros. Are these good phones? I need email, web browsing, and would prefer music capabilities. I have zero experience with Palm but cannot stand my emergency backup Razr dino-phone much longer.

The Treo Centro has been around for 3 or 4 years now, so it's a bit of a dino-phone in its own right. In my experience, they aren't terribly well-supported since Palm and Apple got into it over some aspect of its operating system (lawsuits and such). If you're used to a Blackberry, the Centro really IS going to seem like a dinosaur (although not as much as the Razr!). If you can find a way to get another BlackBerry, I'd definitely say that's the way to go, even if it means a new contract. It's not an ideal solution, but I think you're going to be disappointed by a Centro.
Either way, good luck!!

I GUESS....FOR WHAT THEY ARE...... PALM WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PHONES THAT INCLUDED A PHONE WITH A PDA, AND THREW SOME DATA IN THERE ON TOP OF IT. HONESTLY, KNOWING AND BEING USED TO THE BLACKBERRY AS YOU ARE, I WOULD SUGGEST SPENDING THE MONEY ON A USED BLACKBERRY.
PALMS ARE A LITTLE HARD TO GET USED TO THEIR OS. AND A BIT HARD TO SET UP, AND A BIT DIFFICULT TO TROUBLE SHOOT..........
I WOULD GO BLACKBERRY.
