Overview

The good:
  • Full QWERTY keyboard
  • Simple lock/unlock procedure
  • Quad-band GSM
  • SD card support
The bad:
  • Sluggish performance
  • Audio quality could be better
  • Physical dialling pad is tiny
  • Awful VGA camera
The bottomline:

Palm's latest smartphone will appeal to existing Palm users, but it still lags behind the Windows smartphone pack by a pretty clear margin.

Editors’ rating:

7/10

RRP: AU$799.00
