Palm is cranking them out now, but I got to pass on this one for sure. The keyboard looks disproportional and lonely down there. Looks like a lot of open space wasted on this one. I haven’t seen or even heard any 1st account reaction of than Ryan Block of GDGT saying it felt sluggish via Twitter, but if that keyboard is more “Centro-like” than “Treo-like”, well… let’s just say that I think it will be back for Palm. I know the Centro sold millions, but damn, give the keyboard some bigger keys guys. Of course I am ranting without knowing, so if I am wrong Palm, sorry for jumping the gun. This is just my kneejerk reaction from the press photos I’ve seen.
