New Palm phone imminent

John Chan | Sep 03, 2007

Something new is coming from Palm and it looks like it will be a new phone device. Over in Europe, a teaser site has already been launched with indications that there will be a new "Palm smartphone". The device is supposed to be "great for email, mobile internet, instant messaging, text and--with a full keyboard--saying what you really mean." Hmm, sounds like the pitch Palm has been using for every single Treo since the first one. Anyway, the point of the teaser site is that users in selected European countries can sign up online and stand to win five of these new devices.

The graphical outline of the smartphone looks similar to the leaked Centro images we've seen previously. Those earlier images show the Sprint brand on the device, which indicates that it operates in the CDMA network. This teaser is based in Europe, so it's safe to say whatever new phone device will be a GSM one. So, are we looking at one new Centro with GSM and CDMA variants? We'll find out on 12 September, which is the expected date for all to be revealed, according to the Palm Europe site.
