Palm Centro
What is it: The new smartphone from the iconic
Palm brand.
Who’s it for: Palm fans rejoice! You now have
a new option other than the Treo. Less expensive at that!
Wallet magnet: Latest Palm OS 5.4.9; 128MB of
internal RAM; fast Texas Instruments 201MHz XScale processor;
extended personal information manager; multimedia functionalities;
touch screen; supports up to 4GB SD card; available in a variety of
colors.
On second thought: Cramped QWERTY keypad; lacks
WiFi; only 1.3MP digicam; Palm is near death.
What’s in the box: Palm Centro smartphone; USB
cable; power adapter; CD software and manual.
Tech Times’ verdict: It’s hard to pick the
Centro when there’s the Nokia N-Series, not to mention the
upcoming local release of the Apple iPhone and of course, Sony
Ericsson’s Xperia X1 and the BlackBerry Bold, nonetheless, if
you’re looking for an inexpensive smartphone, then this Palm may
fill that gap.
