Palm unveils $200 smart-phone named Centro
Palm unveiled a new smart-phone today that will be available next month for about $100. That’s the lowest introductory price yet for a Palm handset and will make the phone, dubbed the Centro, the least expensive smart-phones on the market.
Despite having a different name from its Treo siblings, the Centro will share with them the Palm operating system, a color touch screen, a full keyboard and the ability to access e-mail and surf the Web. Initially, Palm will offer the phone exclusively through Sprint for about three months, and it will be able to tap into the carrier’s high-speed EVDO network. The phone can be bought for $100 after a $100 mail-in rebate and is available only to customers who sign up for a two-year service agreement that includes data access plan of more than $25 a month.
