Now that I’ve had my new Centro a couple weeks… I find I’m back to using my “pda” as a pda more again. A couple of things that originally drew me to the LifeDrive (the storage, and the size) started becoming prohibitive for daily use.. or something. I stopped using it as a pda. Yea, I used it for shopping lists, occasional memos and such… but more and more the last few months it was just an eBook reader.
I think part of it was the lack of keyboard. With the Centro I’m realizing how much I missed being able to enter stuff with one hand. And while I’m still reading a lot (yes, even with the much smaller screen), I’m making use of the original planner features more again, keeping the address book up to date (my old phone was more current in many ways than my LifeDrive was), as well as memos and calendar and I’m making good use of some of the great new features.
I took the plunge (thanks to work) and picked up a new Palm Centro yesterday. Ever since my Treo90 died, I’ve missed having the keyboard and the one-handed entry ability. I had a cheapy palm that replaced the Treo that didn’t survive a trip through the washer, and replaced that about two years ago with the LifeDrive.
