Thanks to Ederic for the heads up: The smash US hit Palm Centro, the smartphone for new users of such devices, will soon be available in the Philippines.

The price will be P17,490 — quite high considering the fact that it lags behind other smartphones in terms of OS age (still the aging Garnet) and mobile technology used (still 2G).

Its main selling point however remains Garnet and its easy-to-use and easy-to-master interface.

Ederic correctly points out that its price tag is almost the same as an EEE PC’s.

You may check out and buy the Centro from these authorized stores.
