Rogers Wireless and Palm have recently announced the Canadian launch of the ever-so-popular Centro.

With a focus on bringing all communication needs in one compact device, the Centro delivers a full-featured package in a cool, stylish and modern design.  Brodie Keast, senior vice president of marketing for Palm, Inc. says,

“More and more people need voice, text, email, web, contact and calendar capabilities all wrapped in one compact device so they can stay connected with everyone who is important to them. Centro delivers all that and more.”

All the applications that have come to be the norm on Smartphones – email, text messaging, news services, picture management, media playback and sharing – come on the Centro, and then some. The full keyboard promotes ease-of-use in typing complete thoughts and sentences in text messages, and it even comes with Google™ Maps integrated. The Palm Centro from Rogers Wireless is packaged with the standard features that we have come to expect; including Bluetooth support as well as a complete line of software to include Documents To Go, HotSync, Pocket Tunes, Web Blazer 4.5, World Clock and a lot more.

Rogers will be offering the Centro for $199 CAD for existing customers and $299 CAD for new customers, both however will require a three-year agreement with a required voice and data plan.
