The Canadian launch of the successful Palm Centro has been well overdue, with the US already launching the Centro on three carriers; At&t, Sprint and Verizon. Canadian carrier, Rogers Wireless, announced today that the country’s most reliable network would be launching Palm’s smallest and lightest smartphone. With over one million units sold worldwide, the Palm Centro has shown that a smartphone can be successful with a sub 2.0 megapixel camera and aged Operating System.
Traditional cell phone users are stepping up the Palm Centro in droves because of its cool design, full keyboard and ease of use,” said Brodie Keast, senior vice president of marketing for Palm, Inc. “More and more people need voice, text, email, web, contact and calendar capabilities all wrapped in one compact device so they can stay connected with everyone who is important to them. Centro delivers all that and more.
The Palm Centro from Rogers Wireless also comes with a variety of out-of-box software, including Bluetooth, Calculator, Calendar, Camcorder, Camera, Contacts, Documents To Go Professional Edition 10, Email (VersaMail 4.0), HotSync, Memos, Messaging, My Centro, Phone, Pics and Video, Pocket Tunes, Quick Tour, Tasks, Voice Dial, Voice Memo, Web (Blazer 4.5), and World Clock.
The Palm Centro is available on Rogers Wireless for $199 on a 3 year contract with a minimum $45 monthly fee for existing customers. New customers will have to pay $299 on the same 3 year contract and minimum $45 monthly fee.
