Palm Centro 690 (CDMA)
I have some questions - MP3 Pictures NAI etc..
Can I use MP3's as ringers and can they reside on the Mini SD card?
Does it support Picture caller ID ? can these reside on the SD card and is it large or tiny?
Are the pictures independent of the phone software? IE can I access the pictures from the file system unlike on a normal phone? such as uploading pics to flickr etc..
Does it support Independent Voice Dial? (Like Sanyo's)
Is the battery user replaceable?
This would be my first experience with a Smart Phone or PDA phone hence all the questions. I kind of want...

--No, stop being cheap.
Can I use MP3's as ringers and can they reside on the Mini SD card?
--Not as far as I can tell, and no.
Does it support Picture caller ID ? can these reside on the SD card and is it large or tiny?
--Yes. They will be saved as a field for the contact, so it will take up room on the device, and small, centered in the middle of the screen.
Are the pictures independent of the phone software? IE can I access the pictures from the file system unlike on a normal phone? such as uploading pics to flickr etc..
--Kinda, but dont expect sites like Flickr to work correctly.
Do...

The no mp3 ring and tiny pic id is a deal breaker for me I utilize those features heavily :-(
Or...
You could buy PDANet software by JuneFabrics, which allows you to use your phone as a modem without the monthly Sprint Plan.
One time $35 fee for PDANet
or pay Sprint $40 per month.
It's your choice.
Now I just have to see if someone has hacked a way to use mp3 from SD card ringers and if I can somehow hack full screen picture caller ID :-)
Thanks for the replies MUCH appreciated!

2. Not without a separate program, but you can download regular ringtones and call tones.
3. & 4. I don't know.
5. Yes
6. Yes.
Overall, it's awesome.
I just want to use a different PALM (same OS5 even) to access the internet from because my zodiac has better speakers screen and battery life :-)
AS for mp3 ringers there IS a separate program to use MP3's off the memory card as ringers? got ny URL's for these ?
Thanks!

I don't have any, at this time. You can find them through the "Sprint softrare store" icon on your phone. I'll keep ya posted.

You can use a 3rd party application such as Ringo Pro, which will use mp3s on your micro sd card as ringtones.
Download MiniTones 0.1b from http://mytreo.net/downloads/minitones,1053.ht ml It lets you put MP3s in you ringtone folder the only drawback to this is that it copies the file to main memory and can be a memory hog, it does not convert MP3s to MIDI.
