I’ve had the same problem, it wasn’t bootleg because I got it directly from sprint. I once tried to send a picture, and it froze up and turned off, when I turned it back on, the light on the keyboard or the phone, home, mail, etc. wouldn’t light up anymore. I continued to use it thinking that one day it would work, well it did a few times. It would flash lights after pushing a few random buttons, but never permanently lit up. So then I had enough, and I took it back to sprint and they immediately ordered me a new phone for free, of course I have insurance.

Well all you have to do is hold the white button or the arrow up, the click on the p button with the * then brighten it and it will come on.

Try turning the “location” off. Go to the phone screen and hit the menu buton on the qwerty. It’s in “phone preferences” under “options” tab. Have a great Christmas everybody!

The Centro is all I need for my needs at work and home. I’m happy with it’s design, features, etc. Sprint TV is not bad but not great. The keyboard is somewhat small but I managed to get used to it after a week. I agree that the only thing is the battery life is short and need to re-charge at the end of each day. No biggie but, if I leave for an overnight trip and forget the charger…that will be a problem the next day.

I have been using the Centro for approximately one week. I have used the Treo 700wx for over a year and am very happy with the Centro. Although the qwerty is small, I havent really had any issues. The only problem is the batter life.. it dies quickly.
