If you’re a die hard Palm fan, you might be be overjoyed with the news that you can now get your grubby mitts on a factory-unlocked Palm Centro. This isn’t for the CDMA-lovers, it’s for the GSM nuts. The unlocked model drops the puke green keyboard on the AT&T device for a white keyboard. Thank god. Price? $299. Not terrible at all. But for that price, you do have to put up with an outdated OS, constant crashes, and random resets. You can’t have it all, people! Also, a new Google Maps application will be available for all Palm Centros regardless of carrier starting tomorrow. The new application finally brings Google’s cell phone triangulation to the Palm OS.

Didn’t HP validate that chicklet Fisher-Price keyboards were a losing proposition in the ’90s? Thank you, Palm, for the further evidence.

Ok, is it outdated? Take in account that you can Copy and Paste with it. Try to do that with an IPhone….

It’s true the Centro is travelling below the radar of most technorati, but Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon have sold nearly 2 million of these devices to people who are looking for an inexpensive smartphone.

Maybe it’s a matter of one’s use of their smartphone, but in the 5+ years I’ve been using them, I’ve yet to need the ability. It’s not a ‘feature’, it’s a luxury for whiners.

^’Copy-and-Paste’, that is.

Yeah, only a whiner would expect the luxurious “copy and paste” option with his smartphone.
