Yeah, people should never type product reviews when drunk . . . 

The designers of Sprint's catalog front cover disagree with these
folks...

Cheers,

never
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.

600
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.
