Sprint Palm Centro Smart Device for $99.99

Palm, Inc. and Sprint has announced the Palm Centro smart device. For only $99.99, you get voice, text, IM, email, web, contact and calendar capabilities, a full-color touch screen and full keyboard. In addition, Centro brings Palm simplicity and organization to customers who want to stay connected with co-workers, friends and family. Centro will be exclusive through Sprint in the United States for 90 days and is available in onyx black or ruby red.

With a fun, new compact design, Centro is the smallest and lightest Palm phone to date. Centro has a modern, stylish look that feels comfortable in the hand, pocket or evening purse. Centro was designed as a great phone, messaging, and organizational device, and is incredibly easy to use.

With Centro, Sprint customers can quickly and easily text co-workers and friends, manage email, keep track of their schedules, check stock quotes, watch videos on YouTube, keep current on the latest news, capture and share pictures, browse restaurant reviews on Yelp, and get directions on Google Maps - all in one small, compact phone.

Samsung's TV-a-Day Giveaway

I was looking for some wireless promotion when I happen to find this:

Automatically be entered to win a Samsung 42" Plasma TV when you buy any Samsung phone. No purchase necessary. See official rules and enter at http://vzwtvgiveaway.com

I can't help but wonder if this promotion is a scam. :)

Verizon Wireless agrees to settlement over marketing practices

State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced a settlement with Verizon Wireless Tuesday over what Cuomo called deceptive marketing practices for its unlimited Internet service.

Under the settlement, Verizon Wireless will pay $150,000 in penalties and costs to New York state and revise the marketing of its wireless Internet access plan. It will also pay an estimated $1 million in reimbursements to customers.

The company was accused of marketing its wireless Internet plan as unlimited, but then terminating accounts for excessive use. Restrictions on the plans were not clearly and conspicuously disclosed to consumers, according to Cuomo's office.

Verizon issued a state Tuesday saying that it cooperated with the attorney general's office and reached the agreement voluntarily.

"We are committed to providing clear advertising for our products and services, and we began updating advertising for our NationalAccess and BroadbandAccess data plans earlier this spring," the statement reads.
