Can't seem to find a clear answer to this and I haven't gotten my phone yet to go to the store and check and figured this would be the best place to ask so...is the Centro and the 800w the same size? This would mean that the cases for the Centro fit the 800w perfectly. Anyone know?

Really the whole reason for this question is because I went to the palmOne main site and looked for accessories for the 800w and saw none...though there are a few of them for the Centro.

From what I have read the 800w is a little bigger than the Centro but I have never done a side by side comparison.

I have both, and they are not the same size or shape.

The only case I have that the 800 fits is an old 700p holster style Prima case.

That's good to know then. Thanks.

What's the status of free tethering on this phone? Is it as easy to do as on the 700wx, either thru the phone reset trick (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=1489), USBModem, or PDANet?
