Woah. $49.99 on 2-year contract might just make me lay my battery-dead old Moto Q to rest since a new batt for that would go $30 or so.
And I DO hope this VZW version HAS Wi-Fi, as I am hearing that Wi-Fi on the Sprint version is either disabled or absent.
Can Palm data from the Centro be synchronized with the XV6175?
Thanks,
Dan
