Centro runs on Verizon Wireless' high-speed data network, which gives customers the ability to quickly send and receive e-mail messages and attachments and browse rich Web content. Verizon Wireless customers can also use the Centro as a modem for their laptops when they subscribe to Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess Connect service plan. The handset sports a vibrant color touch-screen, full QWERTY keyboard and a lightweight design.

After much speculation, you can look for the Palm Centro to land on Verizon Wireless on June 13th. The Centro was also found on Verizon's test site. Specifications and pricing after the break.
The specifications are the same as previous versions of the Centro.
- 1.3 megapixel camera
- Palm OS
- EvDO (Broadband access)
- Bluetooth
The Verizon "testman" site also lists "video messaging" and "touch navigation". We have yet to hear if it will support VZW Navigator. Verizon will price the Centro at $369 without a contract. With a one year contract, the price drops to $339-$70 mail-in rebate. With a 2-year contract, the price is $269-$70 leaving the Centro at $199. Expect a $100 instant rebate on 2-year contracts to bring the price below $100.
