I really like my Centro too, but I've just about given up on its sync abilities. If I spring for Missing Sync, will it work on a Pre someday too?

Maybe that's why I love it so much. I "did" spring for Missing Sync right away. But then I would have done the same thing for the iPhone. I can't begin to tell you how "worth it" Missing Sync is. It even saves every single text message to a file that you can access. The Centro is the joint. The only issue I have is the fairly weak web browser (and weak camera) which looks to be resolved with the Pre.

Of course it won't be able to play DRM'ed tracks. That's the whole point of DRM, after all - to prevent media playback by unauthorized devices!

Thats interesting, I thought the whole point of DRM was to prevent copyright theft. Is this a new thing?

I'm definitely considering the Pre as well. A friend told me it doesn't have video recording capabilities which I find rather odd. Can anybody else verify this?

From what I understand, it won't record video out of the box but Palm will add that feature via an update. I've not used the video with the Centro though I know it's there.

I bought it over the weekend. You're right. It's da bomb for Palm devices. Should have bought it years ago...maybe my Z22 wasn't as hapless as I thought it was.
