AT&T Palm Centro unboxing!

We’re not really sure where to begin…It’s the Palm Centro on AT&T. You know the Centro, right? Outdated OS, tiny, miniscule puke-lime-green keyboard, EDGE, camera, and phone. We didn’t get a solid feel for pricing when it launches on February 19th, but we’ve heard $99 and $149 for a 2-year agreement. We’d wager it being $99 (how could it be more than Sprint’s?). If you want more Garnet madness, we suggest you don your favorite sunglasses and grab one of those airline-style puke bags. You’re going to need it!

@Kevin
Palm put it out, AT&T didn’t. Palm OS can’t multi-task so they can’t make it UMTS.

Palm sucks. I had Palm for years from the the Treo 650 to the Treo 700. Overall great hardware but the software was very unreliable. God Bless to Palm in the near future.

Imagine that this is all part of an elaborate scheme to find out who BG is by AT&T? That would be pretty crazy. I hope the gallery’s not 404ing because AT&T contacted you after posting this weird green phone!
; )
Hehe, anyway… yeah that’s a damn weird color for them to go with…

lol wut. i have the centro on sprint… it’s not terrible. but i am jealous of my dad’s Q9. So ya its pretty bad. The only upside to all of this is I get to play NES on my phone and web browsing is nice and quick.
and mine isn’t horrendous and weird looking, like this is.

I think its ridiculous that you guys are saying this thing looks ugly. Most of you are just saying this because other people are saying it. While I agree that the green sucks, the overall appearance of the phone looks nice. I’ve owned a 700p and a 680 and I will be getting this one too. You guys really need to lay off Palm. The device isn’t nearly as bad as people are whining about.

Looks like I’m the only sucker who cares. For reasons I will not go into this is perfect timing for me. This is the only way to move my wife into , I hate to say it, smartphone.

Who’s idea was it to take a cool little smartphone and morph it into this monstrosity? Clearly somebody in the design department doesn’t like AT&T customers.
BTW, I used to drink Slimer green Hi-C too!

My guess, which no one has addressed, is that the the color choice of green is for contrast. On the other Centros, the dialpad keys are white while the other qwerty keys are color keyed to the phone color, either black, red or pink. Obviously, white on white wouldnt work great for that. As for green as the choice…whatever.
