made attractive smartphones, but its newest kid on the block took every bad
idea in Palm's arsenal and combined them into one shudder-inducing piece of
hardware. I've seen bars of soap that have more personality than the Centro.
And just because it is tiny, that doesn't mean it is hip. While small and
thin has been the design mandate of late, the Centro is what happens when
you let a 10-year-old design a smartphone.

may have really set the stage for what a smartphone should be with its
larger screen and full qwerty keyboard, but, holy heck, what were its
designers thinking? The ginormous stub antenna has to be the cause of
countless groin injuries to people who stuffed the Treo 600 into their front
pocket. Not only was the stub dangerous, the Treo 600 was so heavy that back
and wrist problems were common complaints from those who carried it about.
The one good thing about it was that mobile professionals on the road could
skip going to the gym and do curls with the Treo 600 in their hotel room
instead.
