I'll definitely look into it, I did consider a Palm in general in lieu of that Treo I mentioned. If it's price competitive and it has some of the features I'm looking for, I'll strongly consider it. Thanks for the heads up.
Personally not concerned with the radiation levels though. Power output of a cellphone is a couple orders of magnitude below anything I see causing cancer or non-trival DNA damage.

What constitutes trivial DNA damage?

I just looked up prices for the Centro, no can do. That puts it in shooting distance of every single windows mobile phone I'd been considering and the iPhone as well. And the Nokia N95 if you tack on $100.

The Centro currently has a $100 rebate.
Say what you will about the operating system being old (not to mention the sad, backwards ways of Palm, the company), but my Centro is running brand new programs alongside 8 year old applications without a problem. Oh, and the Centro has real copy and paste.
The GSM version of the Centro also has the lowest SAR radiation levels of any phone I've seen (it's something like 0.74).
I share my Centro's data plan over Bluetooth with my Nokia N810 tablet all the time. Ironically, all my Palm software also runs on the N810 with the Garnet VM from Access.
