It seems that the Centro is a great success for Palm as more than a million units (of all its variants) have been sold since the release. Although not as pretty as HTC’s Touch, this cheap smartphone offers a lot for its price: a touch display, a QWERTY, Palm’s OS and a neat design. The Palm Centro is a smartphone offering a full range of features. Transfer data or go hands-free with USB, Bluetooth® and infrared connectivity. Keep up with work and friends via email, Instant Messenger and Push-To-Talk. Enjoy the sounds of AT&T Music and XM Radio. Snap pictures and record video with the 1.3 MP camera, and store it all comfortably with up to 4 GB microSD(TM) expansion memory.
Of course, AT&T wants to sell as much as possible also and to increase the interest, released the Obsidian Black variant in addition to the Glacier White. The price remains the same, at $99.99 after mail-in rebate and signing a new contract. In contrast to Sprint’s version (which is also available in Pink), the AT&T phone is a GSM and trades the 3G for world-roaming.
