Palm Centro for T-Mobile

File this under “sooo not confirmed,” but apparently T-Mobile is also standing in line alongside AT&T waiting for Sprint’s Palm Centro exclusivity to expire. How we know about it? Well it’s Palm’s CFO whose giggling (when asked about the prospects) we should thank for the information. That’s hardly an evidence you might argue, but what’s wrong with thinking that T-Mobile also wants a piece of the Centro action. After all, Sprint’s selling them like hot cupcakes… Yeah, we’ll keep our eyes wide open and keep you folks well informed…

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

  • Palm Stuff

    T-MOBILE US will NOT carry any palm devices as they have an exclusivity contract with HTC. they are not allowed to make any deals with other smartphone companies. this was told to me by an official t-mobile corporate store representative in los angeles last week. I asked him : “then what about the blackberry? isn’t that competition for HTC then?” his answer was: “those are not smartphones, those are email-devices”.

    i want the centro sooo badly to come to t-mobile it would make my lifeeee

  • T(reo)-Mobile!

    c’moooon you guys! I have been a tmobile customer since Voicestream days, and followed the treo line from the VisorPhone attachment of my Handspring Visor! (yep, on through the Treo 270 and 600, both bought from Tmobile, and the 650 and my current 680, both unlocked straight from Palm). Further, I am a Mac user and love my Mac Office, particularly Entourage.

    I do not deviate from what works best; I only upgrade.

    TMobile and Palm, you need to start your love affair again…give in to a great union!

  • Dyana

    I bought an unlocked Palm and I am using it on T – Mobile, what a match!!

  • Gregg

    Any more word on this? It’s June now . . I have heard anything else and I really really want the centro . . . How well does the unlocked one work????

  • Diana

    Hey Dyana… did you have to add any data plans to your current tmobile plan for the centro to work?

  • Max Payne

    Ive Read your article saying that your centro works on tmobile….How do you get it to work with gprs?

  • Cori

    T-mobile should seriously consider merging with Palm!! I love their smartphones and I HATE being with T-mobile because they don’t have a large selection. Maybe soon enough T-mobile will realize that their products are lacking compared to Verizon, Apple, and Palm anyway.
