Better late than never: Bell launches Palm Centro

OK, we learned that the Centro was coming to Bell a couple weeks back, we griped and moaned about it in the podcast, and here it is. Pricing's been revealed, specs have been known forever, so there's not much left to get excited about here. Also noteworthy is the absence of any type of "new" signage on the product page -- which is very evident on other recently launched sets on Bell. Don't get us wrong, the Centro was is a fine handset, but is it $49.95 on a 3-year contract good?

Hate Canada and their standard 3-year contracts. Fucking Bell and Rogers have a monopoly here. They both know how to rape their customers with their crazy fees I'll give them that...

Anyway, I wonder if Bell is going to get the Palm Pre. I'd like to see that happen. Rogers would probably say "Bu...bu...but we have the iPhone!" lol

Instead of calling it a monopoly I'll call it a biopoly :P

Wow! Only 13minutes after posting the article, a koolade-swilling doper interjects the new non-secure, yet always-connected new Fisher-Price toy from Palm. Going for a record? ;)

Every time I get pissed off about how much of a ripoff the two year obligations are in the US, I just think of how bad Canadians get screwed on these deals.

I really feel bad for you guys. This is highway robbery.
