Hey, we know we’re late with this, but better late than never. We’ve been busy after all. Anyway… last Tuesday, July 22, Palm released a firmware upgrade for the Sprint Centro. This update brings the software version to Centro-1.07-SPNT and “is a tune-up that improves email, IM, and general device usability under certain conditions” according to Palm.

Here are the specific improvements that this update brings:

• Improved Gmail IMAP compatibility and an updated setup wizard with the
  new Gmail settings
• Updated compatibility for Google Mobile Maps My Location feature to
  approximate your current location – great for directions, finding nearby
  restaurants or business, or checking local traffic.
• Improved ongoing delivery of email sent to VersaMail accounts using
  Microsoft’s Direct Push Technology via Exchange ActiveSync
• Bluetooth usability enhancements and updates
• Sprint TV performance enhancements
• Enhanced AOL Instant Messenger performance
• Improved performance when adding a contact using Mobile Voice Control
• Improved email attachment handling
• Changed default camera shutter sound to “ON.” Audible shutter “click”
  will be heard when taking photos
• Allows Preferred Roaming List updates over the air

The download is available from Palm or from our Downloads section.
