Palm Centro coming in navy blue?
Let’s recap all the Palm Centro colors, shall we? At the moment, Sprint is offering the Palm OS powered device in black, white, red and pink — while AT&T has black and the special white version.

Deal: Buy a Palm TX, get Z22 free for $299.00
I’m not even sure this is a good deal any more, and it certainly isn’t “pure mobile-related news.” Not many people want to carry an additional device nowadays… Anyway, Palm is offering free Z22 handheld with TX handheld purchase. For $299 you get two PDAs and a free ground shipping in the U.S. If you’re…
Video: 3 minute Palm Centro (GSM on AT&T) review
The Palm Centro, originally on Sprint’s CDMA network and now available on AT&T in the states and unlocked in the EU, is reviewed by Michael from Mobile Burn in this brief video.

Palm Centro now official on AT&T; Lacks 3G
We knew this is coming and now it’s official. AT&T customers can grab the small Palm OS-based Centro smartphone for $99 with an appropriate contract. Those that were looking forward to have some “HSDPA fun” while on-the-go will be sad to learn AT&T’s, just like the European version, Centro lacks 3G. It’s the EDGE “speeds”…

Palm airport retail stores not closing!
Down on the news that Palm’s retail presence will be folding up like a weak poker player? Hopefully this notice will lift your spirits a bit.

Refurbished Palm Treo 750 available as GoPhone on AT&T
Call me crazy if you want, but I haven’t envisioned AT&T will be offering Palm smartphones with their “Pay As You Go” plans like ever. Apparently, I was wrong as the carrier is now selling the Windows Mobile powered Palm Treo 750 as a GoPhone. It’s the refurbished version, but still — we got used…
