Hi!
There are many third party instant messengers - MunduIM, Verichat, and others. :)
Yes, Centro should work anywhere in the world. :)

With the Centro, Palm has a big hit. On par in terms of weight, nice design (many women like it, especially in white or pink), and of course plenty of software available, most of which is freeware or cheap shareware.
I previously had a Treo 650. Loved it. I wanted to switch after more than 2 years of flawless use, and hesitated between the Centro and the iPhone.
Finally I bought a Centro, because it is easier to use and excels as a PDA combined to a phone.
I find Centro's keypad better than Treo's, because keys are soft, which is nice when you type with your nails.
Very good value.

If you are a windows lover, stop the reading "here". Otherwise keep going if you are interested on another option of O.S. level. I don't know why people like to complain about a phone with out find out his level on a specific brand.
I'm palm lover. But I can't say much about Centro, my new mobile. Is not a top end smart phone. I could say it's a low end, but you may say what about 500v. I already told you stop reading windows guy, that is a windows mobile phone.
Cons:
- Lack of mayor upgrades such as processor speed, capacity, camera, Wireless(is not the Centro, is Palm itself)
- Blazer internet browser: Where the connect/disconnect option gone?
- Back cover(This is a really pain in the A**)
Pros:
- Voice recognition
- A better internet experience
- File browser application(bonus software)
- Capacity
- Compact
I compare this phone with my old Treo650.

I love my Palm Centro. The functionality is great. I was occasionally experiencing the freezing up but ever since I did a hard re-set (that is sort of like a system restore which returns the phone back to it's original state when first purchased), everything has been fine. Of course, I first made sure I hot sync the phone contents to my desktop beforehand. Once I reset the phone, I hotsync from desktop to phone. No more freezes since that time.
But back to the centro features. I find I use it less for the telephone and more for the internet, text messaging, tv watching, etc. The On Demand program that came with the phone is great. I also watch Sprint TV. The internet browsing is fast. I am always on youtube.com viewing videos.
The ringtones I download sound fantastic. I even created voice ringtones on the phone.
Loving my centro!

You have obviously installed some incompatible third party software that is causing the problem.

to set a mp3 as ringtone you'd need to install an app on the phone: minitones . using minitones you are able to trim songs OR use already customed clips for ringtones.

You can actually use mp3 music as Centro's ringtone. It involves using Blazer web browser to open the mp3 file then save it as ringtone. I found the detail instruction while searching the internet. It works.
