Hi,
I called Palm with the same concern, and here is what they told me: they are
still making some models that don't have the smart phone, but they're making
very few and don't know when they'll get them (ie they're phasing them all out).
He recommended we buy the unlocked centro, with the academic discount (which
makes it $160). We are holding off though. That's a tad pricey for us, and it's
clear that the technology is changing and moving towards internet on phones,
etc. We're trying to see what our other options are. It's all pretty
discouraging--I like ESP!
Sorry, I know that's not much help.
