The Palm Centro has been a very successful handset for Palm. As a budget smart phone, it is very popular among first time smart phone owners, or people just looking for a more casual smart phone offering. Palm is looking to bring a little Centro love to Verizon now, and maybe squeeze a few more sales out of it.

The Palm Centro will launch in a darkish blue color apparently. This is the same color that Telcel in Mexico will have exclusively when it’s Centro launches. There will likely be more than one color eventually, just as on Sprint and AT&T, but this is a sweet color to start with.

There is not expected launch date yet, but it probably will be soon, considering press shots of the device have been released. There is no price mentioned either, but it would be very surprising if it did not fall in line with Sprint’s offering of $99.99, after all applicable rebates of course.
