Palm Centro Red, New, GSM unlocked
The Palm Centro Red GSM Unlocked is a new, boxed Palm OS 5.4.9 smartphone in red with a 320 x 320 touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, 1.3 MP camera, and microSD slot, on GSM/EDGE radios. New red Centros are what collector shops and prop houses want, because the color version photographs well and the box is part of the value.
The Palm Centro is Palm's 2007 compact smartphone, the smallest and lightest Palm OS phone made: a 320 x 320 touchscreen over a full QWERTY keyboard, Palm OS 5.4.9 with the Palm organizer apps, a 1.3 MP camera, 64 MB of user memory, a microSD slot up to 4 GB, and Bluetooth 1.2. Palm sold it in bright colors through Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon, and in an unlocked GSM version, and it synced with Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS X.
Collector shops, prop houses, and enthusiasts buy the Centro from TG Wireless as a boxed or tested example of the last mass-market Palm OS phone, since its 2G/3G radios get no US service today.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Centro exists as a GSM/EDGE unlocked version and as a Verizon CDMA/EV-DO version; see the network status line in the table for the variant on each page. Neither has LTE or VoLTE. US 3G retired in 2022, Verizon shut down CDMA on December 31, 2022, and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so no Centro gets US service. Realistic uses are collectors, film and TV props, offline Palm OS use, parts, and export of the GSM version to markets with live GSM networks.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that want a boxed, colorful Palm OS phone.
- Film, TV, and theater prop houses needing period-correct 2007 to 2009 smartphones.
- Palm enthusiasts and parts dealers keeping working Centros alive.
