palmcentro Palm Your New Centro

There’s a new Palm(r) CentroTM in town! It’s parents: Palm, Inc. and Sprint came together to spawn a Palm/phone with voice, text, IM, email, web, contact and calendar features, a full-color touch screen and full keyboard.Do you need to watch some ridiculous video on YouTubeTM? Need to check a restaurant review on YelpTM before going out for an evening? Need to get directions to that nice restaurant with GoogleTM Maps? Need to call your friends for this cool get-together?

Use that sexy Centro! The Centro is available in a sexy onyx black or blazing ruby red.

Since Centro comes with the Palm OS(R), it offers all of the great organizer functionality that Palm is renowned for, such as a detailed and integrated Contacts list. Also, the simple and handy calendar makes it easier to manage increasingly busy lives, whether it’s juggling business meetings or keeping track of school activities.

‘Palm Centro has the power of a broadband smartphone at the price of a standard 12-key phone,’ said Ed Colligan, president and chief executive officer of Palm, Inc. ‘People looking to have all their contacts and calendar at the touch of a button, plus YouTube streaming videos and the Internet can now get it in a small, cool design with the trademark Palm ease of use. If you’re thinking about stepping up to a smartphone, the Palm Centro should be your choice.’
