This Palm is the most ugliest cell phone I have ever seen. Cons: the screen in too small, there is not touch screen, Windows OS, no WiFi.
Pros: The keyboard???, and it's thin.
I think Palm needs to go back to the drawing board and bring back touch screen and Palm OS.

This device don´t have FM stereo, PALM OS, EDGE and the display only 64 k collors. Very type of phones has 16 milliom collors or 256k collors. But, the case and stylist is very beauty.

palms are good devices for general communication - talk sms mms e.mail etc - alongside organizing whatever informtion . however they are heavily dated by way of design , performance and innovation amongst other things . and though there are plenty of palm enthusiasts out there that may argue otherwise , i am most certain that a large majority of them have been dissapointed by the company on account of not meeting their expectations alongside industry standards . and until palm acts upon this matter , i think its time to move on . there are plenty of other phones out there that can better serve your communicative needs

smart phones are not suppose to have wifi! go ask any mobile sales person. saying a smartphone a wifi, is like saying american cars are fuel efficient. hasn't happened up to date. but maybe one day will.

From what i know, i understand that wifi is a very important feature in all pda right now, however i want ti bring out the point whereby wifi not essential but beneficial, alot of comsumers out there didnt know that by end of 3 years all subscribers has to pay singtell monthly for the wifi usage...and i believe palm feels that if u comsumers got to pay for the wifi why not bundle their products with telcom with their data plans instead...and this is the main reason y palm doesnt implement wifi in this model...

Oh dear god, Just because it's a smart phone DOES NOT MEAN it has to have WIFI, when will people that slag phones because it doesn't have the specs they want realise that if they don't like the phone then DON'T LOOK IT UP!!!

Look for the phone that has the specs you want in the phone!!!!

Palm please wake up! Build to comsumers/users desired specifications, not what you desired to build. I want Palm OS qwerty design with Wifi. HTC/dopod simply able to achieve super specs and yet Palm is struggling with piece meal specs!

Each time I ask if Palm will come up with a phone or pda that will be a WOW!!! But it never came and now Palm is a WAS company and no point buying its hardware.

Well, in asia wifi isn't that well implemented and even in the US there aren't that many places with free wifi.
