Palm Centro 690 is reviewed by Anonymous at Amazon on Sat, May 17, 2008

Average rating: 8/10.

The Palm Centro is one of the very few smartphones that can fit in your pocket and still deliver quality power features. However, it has a few minor drawbacks.

For all the crap Palm gets about its lack of innovation, it's still got a pretty loyal fanbase so we imagine some of you will be interested in this tidbit. There are various stories around the blogosphere about a new Windows-based Treo, codenamed "Zeppelin" ...

The Sprint Palm Treo 800w will be here soon. The Sprint Palm Treo 800w is the new and improved 700w, but basically keeps the same, typical Palm look. The new handset is scheduled to arrive on July 22nd - although it’ll have some steep competition from the new HTC’s set to release around that time as well.

The Sprint Palm Treo 800w features include: Windows Mobile 6.1, EV-DO Rev. A, GPS, a 320 x 320 touchscreen, and a typical Treo look. So, if you’re into smartphones, the Sprint Palm Treo 800w is definitely worth looking at. Although, you may just opt for one of the new HTC’s or the Samsung Instinct - all of which pack some impressive features.

Here comes the Palm Zeppelin! To be called Treo 800w, it is a windows mobile smartphone for CDMA network. It should available for Sprint network this year and you should also see another Palm device called Palm Skywriter this year (probably for GSM network?)

Information on the spes is not available at the moment but it is confirmed that the smartphone use a microUSB connector. The Trep 800w design follows the old traditional Treo series smartphones, it might be the first Palm smartphone that comes with built in WiFi and GPS capability.

The Palm Treo 800w is almost here. The Palm Treo 800w is on track to be available on Sprint’s network in the very near future. Recent speed tests were run for the new phone and found that it ran at 475kbps. That’s not super fast, but not horrible either.

Other features expected to be on the Palm Treo 800w are: Windows Mobile 6.1 with IE 7.11, EVDO Rev. A, 320×320 display, WiFi, a-GPS & camera / no camera versions. There’s no word on pricing or exact release date for the Palm Treo 800w - check back soon for details.

The Treo 800w will be running windows mobile 6.1, loaded with Palm famous threaded sms. Finally we will see an integrated WiFi and A-GPS on Palm device.

PhoneArena reviews the AT&T Palm Centro: “The AT&T Palm Centro feels great in your hand, call performance was admirable and as a smartphone there isn’t anything it can’t do. This phone is aimed at the “tweener” crowd- the 16-29 year olds who have never owned a smartphone- but given the robust support for both multimedia and business applications and the fantastic form-factor the AT&T Palm Centro should appeal to anyone interested in the Palm OS. Oh, and the $99 pricetag will continue to draw in a few users as well.”

Interesting Centro review over at Tracy and Matt's site. They are undeniably the masters of the dull unboxing video and have done an odd review of the Centro which is pretty much very fair although it makes some strange claims. Palm are keen to offer this as a smart phone, with there own Palm OS installed. But in testing I found that it lacked features that are commonly available on competing Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and the Nokia N series devices – as it does not offer WiFi or GPS. Yeah, ho

The Verizon Palm Centro is coming soon. New Verizon Palm Centro photos have popped up across the Internet today, indicating the carrier will indeed pick up the hot-selling handset. The Verizon Palm Centro will come in a navy blue color, but feature-wise is not going to change from the Sprint / AT&T model.

The Verizon Palm Centro features will include: Push-to-talk support, Palm’s OS and will have touch-display. Its QWERTY is reported to be as good as those of Treos. The handset will also feature a 1.3-megapixel camera and support EV-DO. Overall, the feature set is pretty impressive for a cheap smartphone. No word yet on the Verizon Palm Centro’s release date or pricing, but check back soon for details.

Treocentral Review: Palm Air Case for Centro Treocentral has published a review of the Palm Air Case for Centro. The Palm Centro Air Case does exactly what it was designed to do: provide robust protection that’s felt, but not seen. I really like looking at the Centro unobscured, and am glad to see (or, rather, not see) a case that preserves the phone’s look and functionality. Just be prepared to spend some time taking the case apart for the first time. Once you’re used to removing it, t

A Blue Palm Centro is in the works. The new Blue Palm Centro is apparently headed to Mexico, but they don’t have exclusivity on the handset. Hopefully one of the US carriers will take advantage of this, and get the new color. The Blue Palm Centro is a GSM variant of the US versions, but features will remain exactly the same.

AT&T already has two colors of the Palm Centro and Sprint has one. No word on pricing or availability for the Blue Palm Centro, but more info is coming soon.

Treocentral Review: Seidio Super Slim Rubberized Hard Case for Palm Centro Treocentral has published a review of the Seidio Super Slim Rubberized Hard Case for Palm Centro. I usually avoid hard cases, but this one’s designed the way I like: it offers full, impact resistant protection of the Centro’s casing while leaving the screen and keyboard fully accessible. It’s reassuringly rigid while having a soft exterior that’s pleasant to the touch. The soft touch coating is a terrific additio

According to a leaked road map last week, Sprint will be announcing a Treo 700w replacement, the Treo 800w Windows Mobile smartphone . The roadmap stating a Windows 6.0, but we are guessing it will come with Windows 6.1 since it has already officially announced.

Apart from the usual Palm style design, WiFi and GPS might be included for the first time in Palm history.

Palm may have a real iPhone killer in its hands. Maybe it’s the cheap retail price ($99.9) or maybe it’s the form factor, the Centro being the smallest Palm smartphone to date. Whatever the reasons, Centro is definitely a hot item in the ten countries where it is distributed.

One possible reason for the Centro’s success is the increasing desirability of smartphones. Already smartphones have taken 11% of the handset market. By 2011, it is predicted over one-third (35%) of mobile phones will be smartphones. About 70 per cent of Centro users are new to smartphones.

A Black Palm Centro for AT&T is on it’s way. The Black Palm Centro for AT&T is a very nice looking phone. Actually, the official color is “obsidian black”. I think this hue is the most professional looking of all the colors available. After seeing this handset, it’s unclear why AT&T decided to release the white & green version first - but, better late than never I suppose.

We’ll see no feature changes with the Black Palm Centro for AT&T. But, just as a reminder here are a few highlights of the phone: Push-to-talk support, Palm’s OS and will have touch-display. Its QWERTY is reported to be as good as those of Treos. The black Palm Centro for AT&T will also feature a 1.3-megapixel camera and support EV-DO.
