This contest is now closed, and kenneth2009 is the winner. Thank you all for entering, and be sure to enter our HP Magic giveaway! 
Still having trouble deciding what to get the budding techie on your list? You know the one…the youngster who is fascinated by your fancy feature phones, the teenager who has discovered text messaging and Facebook, the young entrepreneur who wants a way to keep in touch with the office when she isn’t able to be there; these are just some of the people who might like to receive a Palm Centro.
Newly introduced for the holidays, Sprint is offering the Centro in olive and the absolutely gorgeous rose. Both phones have slightly rubberized paint, which makes them feel soft and grippable at the same time.
The holidays are always a busy time, and Centro lets users keep in touch with friends and family with voice, text, IM, email, web — even using Facebook for Palm, which is pre-installed on the new Centro holiday colors. Facebook for Palm lets users connect with friends, respond to messages, upload photos and videos, receive status updates, browse friends’ profiles and send out new friend requests — all right from their Centro. And with Google Maps’ new My Location feature, Centro knows where the user is and what’s close by, so customers can find nearby restaurants, get directions, or see updated traffic reports.
Users can shoot pictures or videos and send them to friends, or use the built-in MP3 player and take tunes to go. The new Olive green and Vibrant rose Centro smartphones have 128MB of available memory (twice the storage of the original Centro for Sprint) and the ability to add up to 4GB more with a microSD card (sold separately), so there’s plenty of room for playlists, photos and videos. Users can also watch Sprint TV channels, such as CNN mobile, FOX Sports, The Weather Channel and Disney Channel.
The keyboard seems best suited for those with nimble fingers, but with a bit of practice anyone can master the tiny keys.
These pictures hardly do the rose color justice; it is delicious!
Sprint offers quite a few highly competitive voice and data plans; and if you are in the position to upgrade or add a new line, $79 is a steal for this highly capable smartphone.
