I just got my Centro and it is *amazing*. I'm upgrading from a Treo650, and no way am I going to install my old apps on it except carefully and one at a time from new installers. I don't want to mess this up.
I love streaming drum n'bass/dance music internet radio stations from shoutcast.com to inspire me when I'm washing the dishes. :) I experience no lag on phone digit keypresses -- that does sound to me like you might have a third-party app intercepting those keypresses before passing them along. My connectivity and reception is good here in Austin, TX. I did notice that my old headset adapter doesn't quite fit all the way in because the Centro's jack is slightly closer to the raised lip around the connector ports. I'm going to get a slimmer one for it.
