It appears that the launch date for Europe of that mysterious handheld gives more info than previously thought. Apparently the Gandolf will be launching on the Vodafone network in Europe on September 12th.

The blurry pic shows a device that looks indistinguishable from the pics of a device we know as the Palm Centro. The blurry pic is said to not be of the Centro, but of the Gandolf (what’s the difference?) with a somewhat clear Vodafone logo just below the screen.

So either there is no Palm Centro and they went with the Gandolf name, Gandolf is just for its European release, we aren’t getting the device here in the states, or there actually is two different phones and in a strange move Palm is releasing a new phone in Europe before the US. I don’t know which one it is, but it is almost guaranteed that whatever this device is it will be showing up on the Vodafone network soon.
