Sure sign of success: Palm to bring Centro to Sprint in two new colors

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 4th 2008 at 6:19PM

Nothing quite says "these puppies are selling well, and we'd like to ride the wave a bit longer" than reformulating an existing device in new colors -- a strategy Motorola played to the extreme, bitter end with the original RAZR -- and Palm's circling back to Sprint's Centro lineup to add a couple more (it's not getting out of hand with the Centro yet, Palm, but we're onto your game). It seems that the new shades will be "rose" and "lime," both of which sorta speak to the Centro's approach as a personal -- not business -- oriented smartphone. If the rumors hold up, these snazzy new shades should be hitting late next month.

well, im not gonna switch to sprint or AT&T for a different color of Centro, seeing as how VZW employs me.

But hey, maybe I can get a housing...

Step back Apple, Nokia, LG etc ... it's almost time for the breadline. :-D

Actually, it is a good sign for Palm that Sprint and others care. It's also probably the last ditch efforts to keep a little fresh cash flow coming until we're all utterly wowed by Nova's breakthroughs. :-/
