Sprint has a new television commercial for the Palm Centro that targets a younger demographic. Less talk of business and a greater focus on using a smartphone to manage your life.
Personally, I enjoyed the "crazy" guy from the first commercial, but this ad speaks more to the core demographic that Sprint is trying to reach with the Centro. It's also a good opportunity to display the various colors available on Sprint.

Palm has announced it has sold its two-millionth Centro smartphone. With it's pocket friendly design and wallet friendly price, the Centro has been a hit around the world.
The Centro available from almost 20 carriers worldwide, including the three largest carriers in the United States, Centro has reached more young adults and women, as well as a broader range of household income, than any prior Palm smartphone. It offers customers an affordable, simple and fun option for staying connected and doing more with their mobile phones.
Recent data released by AdMob, the largest advertising network on the mobile web, further echoes the momentum of Palm's smallest, lightest and most affordable smartphone. According to the company's Mobile Metrics report, Palm Centro leapt onto the list of mobile phones worldwide in May as the No. 8 device, and moved up in June to No. 7. AdMob cites the growth of inexpensive phones, such as Palm Centro, as a primary driver in mobile Internet usage.
"Consumers are ready to do more on their mobile phone, and Centro has struck a chord around the world, said Brodie Keast, senior vice president of marketing for Palm, Inc. "Centro has everything a person needs to stay connected with everyone who is important to them -- and at a price point and size that make smartphones more attractive to a much wider audience.

Like many technology writers, Pogue comments on how the Centro is basically a repackaged Treo, but feels the strategy might work for Palm. When comparing the smaller Centro to the Treo, Pogue writes, "The resulting phone creates a totally different impression. It feels less fragile, less formal, less like a piece of Expensive Corporate Equipment. To use the technical term, it’s perkier."
