Palm Centro

European folks that have been waiting to get their hands on the latest Garnet-powered Palm Centro will be glad (or not) to know the Treo makers has finally made it available in select European markets. The “or not” part is unfortunately there cause Palm decided to pull out the 3G radio from the device. Actually, their was never HSDPA nor UMTS radio in Centro, we only hoped they will (naturally) replace EV-DO with HSDPA for European release. We were wrong and now I’m thinking will anyone actually care to grab the Centro. Maybe some hard-core Palm OS fans. That’s 299 EUR or 199 GBP sans any contract… For more information just pick your country (if it’s listed) from Palm’s website.

    I’m not a huge Palm fan, but I really like the way these Treos look. Spec wise, they aren’t really competing though so I have no clue who Palm is marketing these devices to – - especially at this price.

    I’m picking one up, don’t mind the Palm OS and the size/touchscreen/qwerty is ideal for what I want at the moment. (ps, the Palm Treo 500 is painfully slow and the keypad is awful. Shame they didn’t manage to stick the 500v software carousel instead of bog standard winmob 6)
