With the Palm Centro already a lock for AT&T, it looks quite likely that AT&T will be picking up and launching the Palm Centro in GSM-form later next week. We’re hearing that an AT&T Store manager has indicated an impending $99 AT&T Palm Centro launch. The launch date is allegedly set for Tuesday, February 19th,…
Palm releases new firmware for Sprint 755p

Apple iPhone keeps getting stronger in smartphone segment
With only one product and a late-year launch, Apple has really done well for itself with the iPhone.

T-Mobile to get Palm Centro too?
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?

Thanks to the Palm OS developer named Razix, owners of the older GSM-based Treo devices (Treo 600, 650 and 680) can now use the pseudo-GPS MyLocation feature on Google Maps. Apart from requiring one of the mentioned Treo devices, the software also demands that the current version of Google Maps (ver: 1.2.0.9) is installed on…
Palm Centro for AT&T looks real
Back in October, we reported that Palm Centro is coming to AT&T. Now we have somewhat more legit proof this may actually happen sooner rather than latter.

Faithful Verizon subscribers, rejoice! Following on recent certification test-approvals, the long-awaited Palm Treo 755p has finally hit the nation’s largest CDMA network (and No. 2 carrier) in full Verizon-guise.

Sprint to launch Pink Palm Centro and Red BlackBerry 8130 on January 13?
Back in November, we’ve first heard a rumor Sprint is preparing to launch the Pink Palm Centro for Valentine’s Day. Now thanks to our tipster, we have an image from the dealer playbook suggesting we were right on target. Furthermore, it’s not just pink Centro the CDMA carrier will launch — they also plan to…
