Palm Centro is constructed of plastic, but few parts are not of the highest quality, which makes it look like a toy. Came across something similar on Palm Centro at

As a Centro owner, great phone, tho many may bash the old OS. Works well, the only drawback is having to reset involves removal of the back of the phone....can be a puzzle getting it back together. Also, the mini-jack for the audio requires adapter. Other than that, it's been a great phone and ebook reader and music machine....at least to me...
