RE: Outrageously expensive!
Remember, the Centro is a TINY-SCREENED, TINY KEYBOARD device. It would definitely be in one's best interest to fondle it prior to plunking down $ and signing the line on a contract.
P.S. Letstalk.com seems to have had their site's design heavily influenced by Amazon. A mere coincidence?

My apologies for not responding to this earlier - this article and comment thread was sorta a "Make a remark and promptly forget the whole thing" to me since I really couldn't care less how much the Centro costs where...
However...
Before using Letstalk to buy those two phones I actually HAD fondled the same phone from a (now former) collegue - and he was the one who suggested Letstalk to me.
Centro
Listening the Press Reports about Palm's demise, I (Stupidly) switched to a Sprint Mogul & Windows Mobile. Journalists are idi*ts! The Mogul was the worst phone I've ever owned in every respect. The Phone was terrible, Windows Mobile is a joke. I've never had a worse experience... Windows 95 was better.
Enough about that, I ordered my "replacement" phone after 3 long, painful months. I was going to go back to the Treo (which looked tons better after the Mogul), but read the reviews and played with the Centro in the store.
I don't look at it as cheap replacement for a Treo. I look at it as an upgrade. I love the smaller size.... and believe it or not, it's Faster!
With internet service, I now sync my Avantgo (w/PalmInfoCenter) over the air now. I only need to manually sync my contact list once or twice a month now.
My advice if you on the fence.... GO FOR IT! .... YOU CAN DO IT! (I'm not the RA RA kind of guy, but after the Mogul, it's like a get out jail free card!)

Great Deal!
Thats one hell of a deal!!! Was starting to wonder when the centro was going to show up at Best Buy.
RE: Great Deal!
Seriously - even though it's nice to see Palm expanding their product presence at retail locations, spend your money anywhere but BB even if you need to pay the entire $99.

**Another vote for a >100MB RAM Treo**
Details?
- Will it require in-store activation? (ie. can you buy it for a gift and activate it after x-mas?)
- Black only? Or will they get red?

RE: Details?
Why?
[ob-disclosure - I am a quite satisfied customer of Letstalk, if you can call someone who got two phones free from there a customer...]
RE: Details?
> I am a quite satisfied customer of Letstalk
I had never heard of Letstalk until you mentioned them, but resellerratings.com says their average satisfaction rating is very low.
Now-OT: RE: Details?
That is to say, =my= experience with Letstalk.com has been exactly as I would want with any online website.
[BTW - note that Best Buy, the store mentioned in this PIC article, was rated much worse than Letstalk...and, as noted in my comment above, sells the Centro for a full hundred bucks more than Letstalk]
