After recently announcing the sale of its one-millionth Palm Centro, Palm, Inc. today introduced its popular Palm Centro smartphone in Venezuela through Movistar.  





With a fun, new compact design, Centro is Palm's smallest and lightest smartphone and is now available through Movistar in red and blue. Centro helps users manage email and text messaging, keep track of their schedules, stay up-to-date on the latest news, capture and share pictures, and get directions on Google Maps -- all in one fun compact phone. Its full keyboard also makes it easy to quickly type text messages and emails with complete thoughts and ideas.

Easy to Use and Highly Customizable

Running on Palm OS, Centro offers Palm's unrivaled ease of use and organizer functions, making it the perfect solution for users who are looking for a smart but compact mobile phone to help them manage increasingly busy lives, whether it's juggling business meetings or keeping track of social engagements. Centro is also highly customizable with thousands of commercially available applications to help users with everything from maintaining a healthy eating plan to keeping track of golf handicaps or personal expenses.
