AT&T just released the Palm Centro GSM Palm OS device. The Sprint Palm Centro was released a few months ago and is quite popular. For US$99, the Palm Centro is a very capable smartphone that appeals to those looking for a good text messaging and communications device.

The internal speaker is located at the center above the display and to the left of the AT&T logo. The small indicator light is also found in the upper left and it is nice to have such a small light that doesn’t take away from the experience.

The device feels solid and is also quite compact in your hand. The smooth plastic may get a bit slick, but the device is small enough to be held securely.
