I have read this book several times and each time, I pick up a new tip on how to make the most out of the Palm Centro. It is nicely illustrated and written in layman terms which are easy to understand. It gives you tips and relevant ideas on how to use the Centro for both personal and business matters. I keep it on my desk and refer to it several times a week. You can truly realize the power of the Centro with this book to assist. If you own a Centro, you should buy this book!

Was expecting more. - 2008-10-13

Although this book goes into somewhat greater detail than the "Tips, etc" booklet that came with the phone from Verizon, it fell short of my expectations of learning some nifty tricks, or suggested cool software and accessories to enhance my enjoyment of the phones capabilities, such as the Iphone screen application. There are actually more useful tutorials for the Centro on YouTube.

A Welcome information booklet. Much better then the brief booklet that came with the phone.

Took a chance on this and it turned out to have enough tips and helpful hints that it was worth it. Nothing earth shaking but a good reference for a first time user of this phone.
