$99 Palm Centro Hitting Sprint 10/14

$99 Palm Centro Hitting Sprint 10/14

The Palm Centro is coming, and it's going to be cheap. Palm today unveiled most of the details on the diminutive Palm device, including the official release of October 14 with Sprint PCS and an official price of $99 . Naturally, that price is after a $100 mail-in rebate and requires a two year commitment with a minimum $25 data plan. The teaser site, Moreyous.com, touts the phone's Bluetooth wireless capabilities, EVDO for high-speed data transfers, compatibility with Word and PDF files, MP3 playback, and the ability to send and receive e-mails, texts, and IMs,

It's being tauted as the world's smallest Palm and. While the overall look and shape of the thing isn't exactly sexy, we do find the red finish to be eye-catching. However, as we mentioned in our earlier coverage, the Centro's small size has lead to a thumb-crampingly small keyboard that may make texting, or even just dialing, somewhat problematic.
