do you realize that sprint has just as many phones coming out.

what i've read is that the Centro will have all the same capabilies/specs of the 700p/755 just in a thinner form...
...
probably a slower processer and vga camera. to bring it to a cheaper price point.
...
hmm... those are actually the two things that were cited, if i'm remembering correctly, that were on par with the 700 series. there hasn't been a whole lot of info on it yet(that i've seen), so i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
