Your phone

The Phone application is your home base for making and receiving calls and for storing info about the people you need to stay in touch with.

You can effectively manage multiple calls, such as swapping between calls, sending text messages to ignored calls, and creating conference calls with up to five callers. Your Palm® Centro™ smart device helps you perform all these tasks with ease.

You can do more than manage your phone calls in the phone application. You can send text messages, open applications, go to your favorite web pages, see your upcoming appointments, and even find out how many unread email messages you have.

Benefits

•Stay in touch—you choose how

•Save time with shortcuts to your favorite info

•Have fun: add wallpaper and ringtones

•Make or receive calls without taking your hands off the steering wheel
