Palm actually never made their own hardware, AFAIK. They design it but always use outsourcing for manufacturing. I believe HTC is now out of the picture, if not they are being used on a limited basis. Inventec is their OEM and Chi Mei Communication Systems (CMCS) their ODM. The Centro was made by Inventec and CMCS is handling their 2008 CDMA lineup, which I would imagine includes the upcoming 800w. Related, I wrote what the Centro's hardware may mean for future Treos--it looks positive.

I actually was referring to their WM devices, which integrate much better with the hardware, have more tweaks, and is better optimized than HTC. They churn out much fewer devices than HTC, but forgetting the 700w fiasco, they seem to get quality over quantity right.

Though your point about PalmOS is quite valid, no argument there. Having said that, I'm actually quite fond of the Centro and I'm surprised at well it works and can do all that my WM devices can do (relatively). If this is the last Garnet device (hopefully), than it is the pinnacle of that OS and hardware, imo.

MMS is indeed the last thing Sprint is lacking on WM devices--I really hope it gets resolved sooner than later.
