BOGOTA, Colombia, Apr 16, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- After recently announcing the sale of its one-millionth Palm Centro in the United States, Palm, Inc. today introduced its popular smartphone in Colombia through Comcel and Movistar.
With a fun, new compact design, Centro is Palm's smallest and lightest smartphone.

Its full keyboard also makes it easy to quickly type text messages and emails with complete thoughts and ideas. Centro has everything a person needs to stay organized and connected with everyone who is important to them, whether it's family, friends or co-workers, and it's particularly attractive to users who are migrating to their first smartphone.
