Centro vs Tungsten W in few sentences
=====================================
Just first few impressions. The T|W keyboard is bigger and MUCH easier
to use. But keyboard support in GUI is much better on the Centro, of
course. On the T|W I have had to use stylus again and again because
there are many features which are not reachable from the keyboard.
The Centro feels to be faster but not as much as I expected. At the
moment the main T|W's disadvantage is its antenna. It is better to know
where it is but I feel that it is too fragile (and it is unprotected
all time - no available case or pouch covers it) and it makes me too
cautious. The Centro is completely protected by the Palm leather case
which is better. It is also much smaller
The T|W has no build-in microphone so the wired headset has to be used
all time. The Centro can usea headset (it uses the same strange 2.5mm
connector as the T|W) but it can also use a wireless (Bluetooth) one. I
still have not tried any (I have a wired one). My only try so faw was
an attempt to connect it and press the button on the headset when the
Centro was off-line. The phone reacted - it restarted its GUI... (I
didn't noticed this problem when the GSM mode was active).
The Centrpo's build-in camera produces better images than the snap-on
KODAK PalmPix of the T|W. But not that much. Of course their resolution
is better (1280x1024 vs 800x600).
Thus the result is:
- the T|W wins as a PDA (bigger screen, bigger keyboard)
- the Centro wins as a phone because of size and better keyboard support
