Blue Palm Centro in the mix, but not in the US

by Chris Ziegler, posted Apr 4th 2008 at 5:08PM

Seems a little bizarre that AT&T would choose to launch white and lime over this more conservative choice -- but they did, and our Mexican friends get to reap the benefits. The blue variant of the GSM Centro is available via Telcel and Movistar -- exclusivity's apparently not an issue here -- and offers specs that are otherwise unchanged from its international cousins. Eh, on second thought, we think we like the white better anyway.

Ah, the patented Motorola technique of releasing new colors rather than innovating. This is going to work well...

ya except the centro is a decent phone that can do a lot of stuff, and started cheap.

the only things it can really add are GPS EVDO Rev A (HSDPA on the GSM's), maybe a better design, and a new palm OS (please)... but that can all be saved for the second iteration.

@ OziD:

GPS, etc. can't be added because the OS limits the radios. Gotta wait for the new OS. But this phone does everything the OS will let it.
