Perfect for outings.
I purchased my palm as a shared device. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. I wanted the phone because of the size and convenience of being able to carry it in a small crossbody when I'm out with the kids, or in a clutch when going out for dinner, or attending a formal event. I have kids and I am on-call for work sometimes, so it fits easily in any bag or pocket, so I can carry it anywhere and not have to leave my phone home or in the car and take the chance of missing an important call. There is also accessories such as cases, screen protectors and even a Kate Spade wristlet which is cute and convenient. I love that I can pair it with my airpods, put it in my pocket and listen to music or talk on the phone discreetly. I can do just about anything on my palm that I can do on my Galaxy S9. Photos are decent. I even have my favorite game downloaded! The only drawback is the battery dies quickly with more than intended use. I just carry a small powerbank and I'm back with a full charge within an hour. I actually enjoy using the phone and I use it more than I intended to. It is small so someone with big hands would probably have issues texting. It is not for everyone, but I love the convenience and portability of it. My fiance is thinking of getting one to carry when he's wearing a suit or just to carry in his pocket for movie dates, trips to the mall etc. The fact that it is covered by warranty or total mobile protection sealed the deal for me.

Surprisingly capable awesome mini phone, LOVE IT
(+) build quality is tight, feels good in the hand, capability is surprising, size is amazing (pocketability, one-handed use, wow factor). Really elegant piece, it's not for everyone but keeps me as connected as I want to be when I step out (runs, rides, gym, evenings out). All my necessary apps work with reasonable speed, this thing really delights. It's so dinky yet capable (-) battery life

The beginning of something great.
This device is worth buying if you have these 5 things. Only if you have these 5 things. 1. Verizon wireless as your provider 2. A somewhat current android phone 3. You use messages+ as your texting app. 4. Have $150 in play money. 5. Afford $10/month for the number share feature. The phone itself is outstanding. It is considered a companion phone which means that my phone number is being used on 2 phones simultaneously. Similar to an LTE smartwatch. In fact, that's exactly how it works. Like my title states, this is the first of it's kind but mark my words, companies are working on their own proprietary devices. Normally the Palm device that I purchased is $350 + $40 activation fee + the $10/month for the Verizon service. Today I bought it for $150 + waived activation + $10/month. So far I have used it often. I am a contractor in need of the necessities throughout the work day. My note 9 is overkill and my thousand dollar phone is vulnerable to the elements. This distracts me, all be it minor, its still on my mind. The palm is a credit card sized phone and has what I need. 1. Texting capability 2. Phone 3. GMAIL 4. Everything my note has just inferior specs in comparison. Finally it is really cute. Cant believe I just said that but it gets alot of attention. People are interested in "different" especially when it's cool. Check it out... I am in no way recognized, paid, or compensated in any way, shape, or form for my review on this or any other reviews I give. I like cool and when its actually something cool, I like to share my thoughts...

small but mighty
this is an interesting device with decent specs for the price and the size. the main thing missing is the lack of nfc capabilities along with output of audio through the usb-c port so no wired headphones even with a usb-c to audio jack adapter unfortunately since there's no headphone jack available bluetooth only my friend. and the lack of nfc means no automated commands encoded to an nfc tag or sticker for use with this device which is a huge let down. so hopefully that will be available on the next version of this tiny handset if there is one. the size is nice despite my large hands and the handset looks quite comical in my hands and found it to be unlocked after removing the big red sim card which was expected and nice. so great backup and traveling device for a small footprint.

Perfect for minimal connectivity!
Not only is the Palm small and convenient to carry, it is quick and using it as a companion device doesn’t interfere with functionality. It does get considerably warm during setup which worried me a bit, but it has not had any issues with overheating. I am thoroughly impressed with this device.
