kshah 452 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 It can not be coverted to RUIM as Palm OS do not support RUIM. But you can do it, there are other ways to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lijodavis 1 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Palm Centro has launched in india for 13999.But this one is GSM. http://www.palm.com/in/products/smartphones/centro/ Source:- http://www.cellpassion.com/ Palm has launched what it claims to be the smallest smartphone with a QWERTY keypad in India. The Centro, which runs on the Palm OS, is Palm’s lowest priced smartphone and will be available for Rs 13,990 in the Indian market. “With the Centro, we are targeting the first-time smartphone users,” said Olivier Rozay, regional director, Asia Pacific, Palm Australasia Pty Ltd. India’s smartphone market was estimated to be close to 3.7 million units at the end of 2007 and is expected to reach 5.4 million units by the end of 2008.\ The Centro is an entry-level smartphone and provides basic features like quadband GSM connectivity, Bluetooth and a modest 64 MB internal memory. It also has a FaceBook application and Google Maps that have been integrated with the phone’s contact list. However, the low-end 1.3 megapixel camera and absence of Wi-Fi prove to be the weak links.
