While experimenting with a Palm Centro phone tonight, I discovered a couple things:

1. Sprint’s EVDO is about what we’ll call, “trillions” of times faster than T-Mobile’s 0.001kpbs Make-Believe GPRS. When you have good reception. Which is to say never. Did I mention I work across the freeway from a T-Mobile corporate headquarters? They probably all use Nextel.
2. The web browser is even more of an important feature for me than I suspected.
3. The Centro’s web browser is considerably lacking when compared to my current phone’s browser which an extremely stripped down version of one the worst desktop browsers to ever have been made.
4. Price is more of an important factor than I had previously guessed at. Fortunately, I can get a really good deal on any Sprint phone I like. I know a guy.

This guy also suggested the Sprint MOGUL by HTC. My current phone is an HTC with WM 5 on it. I’d feel right at home, except with a better OS and better network. Toying with the web browser I created more work for myself this coming month as I saw how horrible our site looked on regular phones.
