I loved Palm.
I see this being attractive at $100
Somewhat useful at $200.

It's $350. I just couldn't justify it.

The Palm Pre was ahead of its time.

So...aside from the camera and web browsing, this is basically a smart watch that I can’t wear? Except without the fitness and wellness tracking.

I’m sure there’s a use case for this somewhere out there, but I’ll pass.

meh. The fact is apple already has a "mini" phone that you can carry without your main phone. And I guarantee this Palm phone will be a flop.

- Screen unbreakable (mostly)
- Cut and paste pictures and music to file folders
- Pop out keyboard for old school
- Wireless charging
- Open multiple apps and swipe them closed

It was light years ahead of its time.

Makes me miss my old Palm Treo. I had a couple of the PDAs too.

It’s funny. All these advances in technology and efficiency and I’ve gone back to a form of Bullet Journaling for my daily note taking and planning. Something about putting a pen to paper that’s just satisfying.

Price point is stupid. Go get a Moto G6 for that.

Greatest pre-slab phone ever. At least of all the phones I've ever owned...

The Pre and WebOS was amazing also. As someone above mentioned, it had several functions and features that iPhones and Androids didn't have natively until the last 3 or 4 generations. Had WebOS debuted on an a 4"+ touch screen phone I think it could have had as big an impact on the market as the HTC Evo when it came out (coincidentally I switched from the Pre to the Evo and was a pre-order buyer). It might even have given Android a run for it's money.
