Does anyone know if this will have a landscape full query keyboard??
it should. its still windows mobile undern the hood, so you can put amy keyboard you want. im using pcm keyboard on my mogul to write this.
I remember that on the touch you didnt have the full keyboard until they released 6.1
Does the SERO Plan qualify for the mail in rebate?
JJ,
I am on a SERO plan. To my knowledge rebates apply to all phones if you are no longer on a contract or if you can talk sweet talk the rep into selling you a new phone for the after rebate price while still in contact.:) When the Centro first came out I had a year until my contract was up. I was able to get 2 Centros for the after rebate price of 99.99 each if i extended my contract… so i did. March 2009 my contract is up and i will have a loyalty discount of $150.00 off plus any rebates… saweeet…..
Mike,
The answer is sorta. It works in landscape mode only if you are in a program that works in landscape mode. Unfortunately texting isn’t one of those applications.
