In a week where new smartphones shook the foundation of mobility, the two garnering the most attention are Verizon Wireless’ launch of the Palm Centro and Steve Jobs’ announcement of the 3G Apple iPhone.

The dueling devices both come in at an attractive price point, with Verizon offering the cobalt blue Centro for $99 after rebate with a two-year contract and the 8 GB version of the 3G iPhone hitting the $199 mark. The new iPhone’s 16 GB counterpart, which will also be available in white along with the standard black, will run $299.

Both handsets have also generated a rabid fan base. Palm says it has sold one million Centros since it was first released in September, with AT&T and Sprint offering the touch-screen device before Verizon got its mitts on it. While the 3G iPhone won’t hit the streets until next month, the first generation of the device has sold about 6 million units its first year in existence.

While both are bringing the touch screen devices to the masses, both are extremely different devices under the hood. Additionally, the Palm Centro is targeted at corporate users, while the iPhone runs the gamut between being designated for work and play.

The biggest news about the new 3G iPhone is the price. The new case, the 3G and the GPS are great, but they’re features only a nerd could love. That $199 price point, though? It makes Apple’s plan to sell 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008 look like, well, selling 22 million iPods every three months. Seriously. Who will buy an iPod and a phone when they can have both, for less?

Of course, $199 isn’t the real price, from either side. You, the customer, will also have two years worth of monthly payments to the evil telco of your choice. So far, the only carrier which has revealed its full pricing structure is the UK’s O2 (AT&T has only said that it is increasing the unlimited data plans from $20 to $30 per month). So, in the UK, the cheapest you’ll manage is £99 ($194) for the 8GB handset, plus 18 months x £30 ($59) equals £639 ($1250).
