That's quite a bit of a sweeping generalization, imo.

I've been using the Centro since October and it's one of the best smartphones out there.

• Beautiful high res screen
• Stable, consistent and worthy BT
• Loud ringers and speakerphone
• Excellent build quality

FYI, Palm doesn't actually "make" phones, it's the OEMs. Palm just designs them.

Hint: Past Palm devices (650, 700) were made by...wait for it...HTC. (Inventec makes the Centro).

So you are basically saying HTC makes devices with "numerous hardware defects", which is an interesting argument.

HA...that actually explains ALOT.

Hopefully the 800w has nothing to do with HTC.

I'm pretty much in agreement. HTC isn't bad but I'm more iimpressed with Inventec's designs/implementations e.g. Velocity 103/111 are quite nice.

Don't mean to butt in here, but given the issues with the Mogul, i think that'd be a fair statement to make. I'm on my 2nd mogul after the vibrator went out on my first one.. now i've got white spots on the screen of not only this one, but every mogul i've had come through the door here at work... not to mention the USB plug issues and i know a few people have had issues with the IR port being super weak, etc etc etc..

Not trying to start an arguement, but i know when i had my treo 755, i had 2 or 3 of them before i got a decent one. As the phones get more complex, they're gonna have more issues, regardless of whose name is on the building they're put together in.

just my 2 cents..
