That price gets you a much better ETEN X800.

Damn.. my luck wouldn't have it that they would release a CDMA version of this on Sprint in the next week... Dang.

although it is a purely personal opinion, but this device looks really ugly...
Steve Litchfield @ Jan 26th 2008 12:14PM
Hmm.... this shows a standard WM today screen rather than the Treo 500v's carousel. Is this a mockup, or is it a genuine change for the unlocked version?

God I would give my left nut to have a CDMA version of this running Windows Mobile on Sprint.
The Centro is great but the Palm OS is garbage.

I've now had it confirmed that the 500 has the same wierd interface as the 500v - i.e. these PR shots are mockups - there's no standard Windows Mobile home screen!

I actually like the look of the Treo, but I still love my Dash more. ;-)
