8525? IPhone? Centro? Pick Your Poison
Link: 8525 iPhone centro | Kansas Business Attorney. 
All computing gadget choices have trade offs. All gadgets have advantages and disadvantages. I like the Centro by Palm for my walking around computing needs. Dan Covington is a Windows Mobile guy, whose current favorite is the Tilt (formerly the 8525). He likes it because it has built-in WiFi, a large beautiful tilt screen for browsing and video, and the fast 3G network. Of course, if you want to carry a big, honking Windows Mobile machine he is right. However, I like my tiny, pocketable Centro with the much easier and faster Palm interface. No clicking through several menus to do the job. Of course, neither one of us has any love lost for the IPhone, with its brain dead slow Internet connection, lack of a removable battery, and proprietary closed system. This post by Dan is a mostly even-handed review of all three systems. By the way, Dan, with our beautiful 3G fast Internet everywhere, why do you need built-in WiFi? Why Wi Fi?
I'm a Windows Mobile person as well, and the T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur) is thinner than the Centro and has all the bells and whistles I need.
As for the WiFi, it's still faster than the 3G data network.

Why wi-fi? When you find yourself at the ends of the earth (as I sometimes do) they may have wi-fi, but 3G just doesn't reach everywhere.
And, yesterday Mrs. KsBusinessAtty was in the market for a new phone; I tried to pitch her the centro, but (are you sitting down) she does not want email to her pocket, nor even a data plan. You've heard the one about "women from Mars, men from Venus" no?
