heads up, I work for att, and the latest rally they announced that the centro will be on the lineup, this is legit. I believe it will have intergradted GPS as well.
Well I beta tested this thing, and I can undoubtedly say that it does NOT have GPS. T-mobile is also getting this shortly after ATT because some of the other testers were on their network.
The CDMA Centro has an aGPS chip, which can be unlocked if the carrier chooses. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same for GSM. But Palm just partnered up with Garmin for some external receiver, so that may mean the carriers are not likely to unlock it.
robinsmad, it is true about the eGPS. The phones we were issued had Telenav software preinstalled but it didn't work for some reason. So you're probably right about them locking it.
Ok I'd believe you if you didnt say it would have GPS. Yeah right. Palm? GPS? I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd expect WiFi before GPS. And I don't expect WiFi. But i dont doubt the Centro coming to ATT. I can't wait to upgrade my (8MB left of memory) Treo 650. And if you do work for ATT, give us the real scoop. EDGE or 3G???? Cmon!!
