Meant to stand out

Palm has gone red, sexy red, with the release of a new fresh and daring color of its Centro smartphone. The new version has what it takes to stand out and make a statement of youth and vitality for users.

Palm Centro aims especially at the young emerging business people and looks to match their way of life. This must be the source of the new bold bright red color, as to enable them to make a statement of their youth, despite the business suits that they have to wear.

The smartphone will bring the same performances as its previous version did, with the sole change in the outer appearance. Its dimensions are 107 x 54 x 18.5 mm and it has a weight of 119 grams. Still, it also includes a 312 MHz Intel Xscale processor, a pretty powerful tool that makes it possible for the user to run a large number of applications.

A highly useful feature that Palm Centro has to offer is the A-GPS technology, which makes it possible for the user to keep on the right track at all times only with the push of some buttons. Moreover, the smartphone also comes equipped with a full QWERTY keypad, which will prove to be excellent for introducing long text messages or editing business projects.

The device also includes a music player for entertainment, along with a microSD card to store up to 4GB of information, depending on the user's needs. The phone looks to meet both business and personal demands, although a bright red handset coming out of a stiff business suit might look more like a toy and the owner as an impostor.

The Ruby Red Centro is now available for USD 100, on a two-year contract, after rebates and instant savings, in Sprint stores, Palm stores and online at www.sprint.com and www.palm.com/centro.
