Katherine's Red Hot Smartphone on Desperate Housewives

GeekSugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:00:04 PST

Now that Katherine is getting hot 'n heavy with Mike, it's no wonder she has a new phone to suit her lifestyle; and no I don't think the red lipstick, red blouse, and red phone were a coincidence. On a recent episode of Desperate Housewives, Katherine showed off a sexy little smartphone, the Centro by Palm.

This PDA is one of the most affordable phones on the market right now - it's practically free! With a full QWERTY keyboard, a built-in camera, speakerphone, Bluetooth, a memory card slot, and a web browser, this is one fashionable phone that we can't wait to see more of in the show.

Sponsor — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:32:14 PST

Santa’s had a makeover - meet Claus. The secret behind his transformation? The new Palm Centro. No more long hours toiling away in the North Pole. The Centro - with voice, text, IM, email, web, touchscreen functionality, and picture and video capture - has made Claus a new man.

Now, Claus wants to spread the joy. He’s making his list (using Facebook), checking it twice, and deciding who’s been naughty or nice.

Which list will you be on?

Don’t worry; even if you are on his naughty list, you can get your own Palm Centro for as low as $49.99! Get Palm Centro now >

Santa's Gone Centro. Say Hello to Claus.

Sponsor — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 12:06:03 PST

For centuries, Santa functioned as a recluse, emerging only once a year to spread joy. But everything changed when he received an unexpected gift: a new Palm Centro. That was the moment when Santa became Claus.

The Centro streamlined his whole operation; he could get wish lists via text, compile his naughty/nice list through Facebook, and master his delivery route with Google Maps.

With voice, text, IM, email, web, touchscreen functionality, and picture and video captures, Claus thinks the Centro will be his No. 1 gift this year.

If you see Claus out and about, don’t be afraid to give him a shout and let him know what you want for the holidays. But don’t try to sit on his lap. A nice fist bump will do.

Can’t wait for Christmas? Get Palm Centro now!

Chills, Multiplying: Palm Centro Now Coming in Electric Blue!

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:00:34 PDT

Interested in getting a cell phone to match your wardrobe, like Ms. Blair Waldorf?

You're in luck if you wear a lot of blue: Palm is releasing its Centro in a new color, electric blue, which I'm totally digging (although personally, I'd call that metallic cornflower, but that's just me).

There's even a rumor that it could be as cheap as $49 (note: It is priced at $70 with a two year contract), which is great if you want a smartphone for less coin.

It's releasing this Friday, the 11th. . . wait, wait, isn't something else happening that day?

Ah, finally the freedom to switch your SIM card from phone to phone has arrived with the white "unlocked" Palm Centro smartphone. This tiny and extremely light cell also includes Google Maps for mobile with the fabulous My Location feature. With My Location you can easily get directions to various locations in proximity to your current location on the map. . . Trust me, I use it on my Curve and it's a total lifesaver! Just visit Google Maps Mobile on your Palm Centro for the free My Location download.

The unlocked GSM version Centro is available for US customers and costs $299 from Palm.

Perfect Palm Carriers by Dooney & Bourke

GeekSugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 14:15:00 PST

With so many cute new phones recently added to the Palm line-up, (especially the pink and white Centro's) we can be glad that Dooney & Burke have designed some fancy new cases to keep them nice and protected!

The first three in the gallery below are exotic leather Nile Wristlets, which come in rouge, black, or wheat and cost $125 each. This style fits a variety of Palm devices - and I'm sure it will fit some lip gloss and money as well!

The last is the blue Centro Wristlet for the Centro, which only costs $35 and offers a magnetic snap closure, front and back pockets, and a detachable leather strap. Again, probably big enough to keep your other goodies in as well. Thanks for geek-gearing TeamSugar user divagwendolyn!

The Palm Centro Goes Pink

GeekSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 06:17:00 PST

If you were on the fence about the teeny and chic Palm Centro, here's some news that may help your decision-the Centro is now available in pink!

Aside from the fact that it's now available in a fun new color, the Centro is great because it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and is extremely lightweight. Palm's Centro includes a full QWERTY keyboard, touchscreen capability and get this, it only costs $100 with a two-year contract. All these great factors contributed to its spot in geeksugar's January must haves line-up!

Featured on Crave, this pretty-in-pink smartphone will run on the Sprint network and can currently be purchased online.
