Considering switch from 700wx to Centro - Treo Forum

dreddy · 03-20-2008, 11:11 AM

Help! I am considering moving from my 700wx to a Palm Centro--- the primary reason for this decision is because of the size of the device, I am tired of this, admittedly useful, BRICK. Also, I am getting very impatient waiting for the rumored 800w (I know it is coming, but I am getting tired of waiting for it) Anyway, what I really want to know is how have others fared moving from a Windows Mobile OS to the Palm OS -- especially those of you that have jumped to a Centro. Also, i do jot notes on my Treo (using the draw function in notepad), can you do that via the stylus on a Centro? I appreciate any comments you may have as it will definitely factor in my decision. Thanks!

I've switched a couple of times from wm to palm and it really isn't hard at all. As far as contacts, both can sync to outlook. Also, Palm has a way more user friendly interface, and a much wider variety of software. I'm actually very glad that I switched. O, and if notetaking is what you want to do, there's a really good program called 'pennovate notes' here that works great.

Hope I helped

ps...800w is supposed to be available by the end of the summer
