It was just Friday when we told you to say “Hello” to the Palm Eos. Engadget had reported that the device, a successor to the Palm Centro smartphone, would be running on the same webOS software that will be the brains of the Palm Pre. The spec list given to Engadget’s source says “Contact sync with AT&T’s address book” and the handset has support for the 850/1900 bands. Both of these things add up to the highly probable notion that the Eos will be adorning the shelves of Ma Bell.

Now comes forward “a tipster within Sprint” who told PhoneNews that a CDMA version of the Eos is currently being tested by the pin drop network for a third quarter release this year, after the launch of the Palm Pre. Both versions of the phone will have close to identical specs with the CDMA version having the capability to run 3G over Sprint’s EV-DO rev. A network. We get the feeling that there will be plenty of talk about the Palm Eos right up to the date it finally launches. You can be sure that we will pass all of this news on to you as it happens.

Have you ever thought to yourself how much fun it would be to write cellphone reviews and spread your thoughts around the internet? Palm is offering “Real Reviewers” a current model Palm device (a Pre, perhaps?) and data-plan service on the house for 6 months. All you have to do in return is take the opinion you have of the Palm model and write a review of 140 characters or less that you spread throughout all of the social networking sites. The cellphone manufacturer said that they might even have one of the chosen reviewers do a piece on its Facebook page. To apply for the position, click on the following link. Before you start filling out the application, you have to be at least 18 years old and a U.S. resident. Sharpen up those pencils and your wit, winners will be notified on May 8th.

According to Engadget, the webOS-powered successor of the Centro will be called the Palm Eos and the cool thing is that we have a lot of information regarding the hardware characteristics of the device. As it was said earlier, the new handset will be quite thinner than its big brother, thePre, measuring at just 10.6 mm/0.42 inches. A touch-sensitive screen is a must-have, of course, and in this case we will have a 2.63-inch capacitive one, with a resolution of 320×400 pixels, which isn’t bad at all.

So far so good, but we also might have a surprise for AT&T customers here – the Palm Eos seems to sport the 850/1900 bands. In addition, the specs list given by the source clearly says that “Contact sync with AT&T Address Book” is also present, so it seems AT&T will get this one in the States. Other features include a 2MP camera with a flash, Bluetooth 2.1, A-GPS support, 4 GB of internal storage space and naturally – integrated e-mail and IM clients. There is also a possible price for the next webOS handset and it is $349 before rebates. Still, do not make haste to put your money aside, as nothing is certain just yet. We hope to hear more of the Palm Eos soon enough and when we do, you’ll be the first to know!
