Palm Inc has announced today it will sell its popular Centro smartphone through U.S. carrier Verizon for $99.
The report was made in the Wall Street Journal and will give Palm access to Verizon’s 67.2 million subscribers.
Palm has said that the Centro is “off to the strongest start of any smartphone in Palm’s history,” which is quite an achievement given the popularity of the company’s Treo line.
1 million Centros have already been sold through the likes of Sprint Nextel, AT&T and other international carriers. The Centro’s success has been crucial to Palm who has been struggling to keep its market share from competitors like RIM’s BlackBerry and Apple’s iPhone.
The $99 Palm Centro will be available from tomorrow on contract and will be eligible for Verizon’s “unlimited” email and web for smartphone plan at $29.99.
Apparently, Palm also have a brand new Facebook application that will launch with this phone and also be available on AT&T and Sprint models.
