The Palm Centro(Palm OS counterpiece to the Treo 500v) has finally hit the road and also has appeared in the hands of a few analysts. The official Palm blog states that:

The Palm Centro smartphone will be available very soon (as in tomorrow) on Sprint’s EvDO network for $99 (two-year contract, after rebates and instant savings). The Onyx Black version will be available in all Sprint sales channels, Palm stores and online at www.sprint.com and www.palm.com/cento to start. Ruby Red will be out in Nov. through the same sales channels.

The Centro team has also posted a few links to Centro unboxing reports and first-impression reviews. Annoyingly, Palm forgot to include a headset according to Engadget Mobile(the 500v packet contains one). Other analysts mostly share Bonnie Cha’s impressions…

The TamsPalm team is waiting for a GSM Centro - be assured that we will get posting as soon as it hits our labs!
