Verizon Wireless today announced that the Palm Centro smartphone will be available on June 13 for $99. Dressed in cobalt blue, the Centro offers a color touch-screen, full QWERTY keyboard and a lightweight design.
Running on Verizon's high-speed data network, the Centro can quickly send and receive email messages and attachments and browse the Web. Customers can use it as a modem for their laptops when they subscribe to BroadbandAccess Connect service plan.
The built-in Google Maps application provides directions, performs local searches and views moveable maps, satellite imagery and traffic updates. It can map a contact's address from the contact application simply by selecting the "maps" button.
The Centro can also access VersaMail 4.0 with built-in Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Microsoft Direct Push Technology delivers email and calendar updates from a home or office PC using Outlook directly to their handsets. Users can also use Wireless Sync to access email, contacts, calendar and tasks from a PC. Wireless Sync supports POP3 or IMAP email accounts, Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Notes and IBM Lotus Domino.
The Palm Centro will be available online and in stores for $99.99 after a $70 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement.
