Over 2 million Centros sold!
It seems like just yesterday that someone purchased the one-millionth Centro, and now we've sold two million of them.
Guess we shouldn't be too surprised. PC Magazine recently named Centro one of the top 20 gadgets under $100, and eWeek just posted a piece showcasing the Centro's ease of use. It's also the only touch screen smartphone with a full keyboard that's available on the top three U.S. carriers (AT&T, Sprint and Verizon Wireless) as well as in an unlocked version.
But still, numbers like that need a little context. Such as: Two million is the number of minutes you spent in high school (it only felt like four million). Two million is also the number of cars being removed from the streets of Beijing to reduce air pollution for the upcoming Olympics.

i think it is crucial to get the Centro on the T-Mobile network for you to maintain this momentum because momentum right now is VERY strong.
Any news on the T-Mobile front?

Seems like Palm had a streak of bad news at this time last year (we all remember the Foleo). Good to see you finally have a streak of positive news.

Buy a unlocked Centro, slide your SIM card in and you are good to go on T-Mobile.

I love my centro. It's a great phone with a lot more features than competing devices. I've been very happy with it until now.

One request, make the unlock GSM for us rest of the world cheaper or make contracts with carriers around the world. I love palm and still have a 650, the Centro is 300 euros in europe not 99 dollars.
Another suggestion, why not make a Centro 2, 5 mp camera like Nokia phones or even 8mp like the new Samsung Inova.
Anyway congratulations.

Congrats for the Centro. What about Vista 64 bits compatibility. All current middle and high end computers are sold with Vista 64 bits and won't work with the Centro, Treos and other Palm OS devices. Any dates on when this will be available?

there was one very valid comment
if this is a "more fun" device aimed at "consumers, why does it have such a outdated camera?
(I just hope the answer isn't because Palm doesn't seem to want to put any effort/development into PalmOS devices... but after the release of the Treo Pro on Windows Mobile, I am starting to wonder...)
