Palm Centro coming to Verizon this week

This is unofficial at the moment, but Engadget Mobile reports a tip that Verizon customers can get the Palm Centro experience this Friday, June 13th. Hmm… a phone launch on Friday the 13th? That might not bode well. Actually the pricing may not bode well either if you go by the anticipated pricing: $269 with 2-year contract, $339 with 1-year, and $389 full retail. There’s some hoo-ha in the EngMobile comments about $100 discounts with a data plan coupled with an expected mail-in rebate of $70, so we still might see a $99 Centro on VZW. I’d also expect to see 3G connectivity like the Sprint model… something that the AT&T Centro didn’t have when we took a first look. With EV-DO likely, you’ve got a pretty capable little smartphone, for possibly under $100. I’d still wait until Saturday the 14th before buying though. Just in case.
