Today Verizon Wireless announced that it is finally joining Palm’s Centro party. Beginning tomorrow, June 13, customers will be able to grab the one device that helped Palm boost its marketshare. Verizon got the crisp cobalt blue version, which we saw back in April.
In order to grab the Centro from Verizon, you’ll have to pour out $99.99 after a $70 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year customer agreement. The carrier suggests its Wireless’ E-mail and Web for Smartphone plan with the device, which costs $29.99 per month. In addition, those that want to tether the Centro to a laptop may opt to include a BroadbandAccess Connect plan in their service package for $30.
Full release is available on PRNewswire.

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.
