Thanks for the help. Got the Centro here and will be switching over soon.

Newb with non-flip question: How do you prevent your keys from scratching the sh$t out of the screen? Putting it/them in the other pocket is not an option since I carry an mp3 player in that one.

It's under info:






I have the phone in my hand and playing with the menus I don't see how to get to that "App / Options" dropdown. The time is in the top-left corner of the home screen.

I figured this out. On the other hand, I just found out that this thing is NOT supported by Wireless Backup, which is very annoying and has put a damper in my evening plans since I have to run to a Sprint store to transfer my contacts.  >:(

I've never used bluetooth. I managed to get them transferred at the store, but they are not in the intended order since the Centro organizes by (what it thinks) is the last name, and the DLX had them by name as I entered it, usually the first name. Is there a way to have the Centro list them by first name? I looked and didn't see a way to do that.

Also, I tried downloading Opera Mini. First it said there wasn't enough room on the phone, and then the SD card from my phone somehow disappeared as I was transferring it to the Centro. That was very odd. grrrrr...

I have an old plan too and my wife is very happy with the lg remarq. One issue is that she needs a better camera. Any suggestions? I would rather not have to go buy a new digital camera.

Bluetooth is a very useful tool a lot if times.

If I'm right ( if not anyone please correct me ) you can't do anything about the contacts except fix it manually.

My sd would also sometimes get out of place and I have to click it out and back, well my phone isn't new..

    would that make it list them like the other phone?

also I downloaded opera mini to an sd card but I don't see anything on the card. the phone sees the card and gives the memory but doesn't show any files. it is a 64 gb card I formatted to fat 32 to use in the mp3 player. would that be a problem in reading the card? want to make sure before I buy a card for the phone.

Opera Mini requires IBM Java to be installed first.

Its more than that.... 1- a centro does not really support a 32 GB card and 2- you have to put it in the right folder.

thanks. is opera mini a big improvement with the centro? the native browser is much better than the dlx's.

also does the black version also show incoming text senders' name in lavender? weird that you can change your color but not theirs. that and the font are other indications that this pnone seems to be targeted at women but whatever.
