AT&T Palm Centro Goes Electric Blue, Gets Even Cheaper on Friday
Apparently the Centro is going to be stupid cheap on AT&T starting July 11, and it'll come in "electric blue." Palm is being coy about exactly how much cheaper, but we figure it'll be a decent discount—maybe down to $49, like the BlackBerry Kickstart will be. We're sure it'll have people lining up at AT&T stores this Friday. Update: A little birdie tells us it'll be $70. [Palm]

Palm Selling Centro Unlocked for $299, Gets Google Maps with My Location
Already available on the three biggest US carriers, the only way to make the Centro a bigger hit is to sell it unlocked—and that's what Palm is doing, for $299. It's only in white, though. You can pick it up online at Palm's site. Also, starting tomorrow, they'll be offering Google Maps with My Location for Centros, which locates you with GPS or triangulation. Details: More »

Next-Gen Palm OS Will Be "Between Centro and Treo," All About the Internets
Talking to APC, Palm CEO Ed Colligan revealed some of the broader strokes of its next-gen OS, upon which the company's hopes for relevance are inexorably pinned. Due in '09, it'll be "a new prosumer brand" that fits "in between the Centro and Treo lines." He refers to the OS as "Palm 2.0" at one point—as in Web 2.0—noting that it's "driven around the Internet and Web-based applications," which APC says it like "a very modern take on the original OS."

Palm Zeppelin and Skywriter Phones Coming in 2008?
Smartphone blog TamsPPC say they received an email from Palm regarding developer submissions for two devices codenamed Zeppelin and Skywriter.They suggest the Skywriter could be a Palm 500-style device with WinMo 6.1, and they posted possible mockup of what appears to be a dev unit. There were no facts provided about the Zeppelin, but TamsPPC included a copy of the email they received and think the phones will hit the market in Q3 2008. Hmmmm... [TamsPPC]

Palm Centro Headed to Verizon
With Sprint and AT&T already down, the Palm Centro continues to cut a swath through the major wireless carriers. Based on the images above, its latest stop appears to be on Verizon. Word is that the first installment will feature this lovely blue color with other versions following later on down the line. [Engadget Mobile via BGR]

Happy Palm Centro Day
I've just decided to mark today Palm Centro Day for three reasons:• Fulfilling Brian Lam's prediction, Palm just announced that it only took six months to sell 1 million of the suckers, in 10 countries no less. (Helps when there's a GSM version, doesn't it?)
• AT&T released the obsidian (that is, black) version to go along with its white one. Ruby Red and Pinky Pink are still Sprint only.
• In some Best Buy locations, the normally $100 AT&T Centros have been spotted selling for $40 to new customers. Hopefully these deals will keep cropping up.
Here's what I want to know from you long-term Centro users: does the Centro deserve the honor, bound to sell 1 million more before year end? Or was it just a flash in the old smartphone pan? [Palm Centro]

Palm Bleeds $31.5 Million
Beleaguered smartphone maker Palm lost $31.5 million this quarter, despite the Centro's success—no surprise, given that their living-in-the-past handsets are losing marketshare, not to mention the whole deader-than-dead Foleo. [NYT]

Palm Centro Getting New Color Options?
By the look of this page from the recently released user guide for the Palm Centro, it looks like the cellphone will be getting a navy blue version, as well as an all-white makeover with gray keys. [Gadgetell]

The Palm Centro is losing its Sprint-only roots and going to AT&T for $99 after rebate with a two-year contract. That's the Glacier White color combo, and in a month there'll be an Obsidian Black version. It's essentially the same phone that Sprint offers, but this is a quad band GSM version with EDGE (no 3G). I don't like the ads, which try to portray the OS as somehow radically changed from business to social phone, but it's still a good deal for $99. [ATT, Thanks Dave for the tip on the embargo lift]

The rumor of the Palm Centro coming to AT&T has been solidified during the past couple of weeks and these unbox photos of the AT&T-branded Centro all but make this bit of news rock solid. And it may be my love of Palm phones and all things bright green talking, but I really like the keyboard. Word is the Centro will launch on the February 19 with a price somewhere between $99-$149.

GSM Palm Centro coming to Europe February 14

For Palm Centro fans holding out until the Ruby Red ones arrive, Sunday's the big day. That's when they show up at "all Sprint sales channels, Palm stores and online," says an official little birdy. [Palm Centro]

Sidekick Slide Super Sizemodo
First you get a taste of what the two sexy new Sidekicks, the LX and Slide, look like side by side. (Can someone please tell me why the logos are all oriented for "portrait" when there's never been a more "landscape" phone? I need an explanation.) That, my friends, is but the appetizer. Your main course is a smorgabord of Sizemodology, pitting the new little Sidekick Slide against the roughest, toughest "consumer" smartphones around: the T-Mobile HTC Shadow, Sprint's Palm Centro, the BlackBerry Curve, and of course the iPhone. You will find that deluxe second gallery after the jump.More »
