The success of the Palm Centro has finally forced the number one CDMA carrier in the US to re-think its device lineup for the Palm smartphones.  According to reports from Verizon Wireless, the Palm Treo 755p has reached its EOL (end of life) and the carrier will focus on the Palm Centro as the sole Palm OS-powered device.  The most interesting part of the announcement is that Verizon delayed the launch of the Treo 755p so long that it has only been in the carrier’s lineup for a few months.  It looks like the painful delays were hardly worth the wait and Verizon is prematurely pulling out the rug underneath the Treo 755p due to slow device sales and the success of the Palm Centro.

The good news for anyone turned away from the original Treo 755p $299 price tag is that Verizon Wireless is slashing prices.  Starting today you can pickup the Palm Treo 755p for only $99 on a new 2 year service agreement.  With a bigger screen and a soft finish backing, the added spacing in the keyboard layout gives those unable to text on the cramped QWERTY-Centro keyboard a viable option at an identical price point.
