It's too roundish...

I though Palm died or something..the phone looks weird a bit..

Adrian Wong · 12th Jan 2009, 03:54 PM

Hmm.. If the keypad is as big as I think it should be, then the phone is pretty hefty.

The size of QWERTY keyboard for different palm device is not the same?

Just get Nokia E71, more value for money.

fapDaddy · 14th Jan 2009, 01:03 AM

How much is it? Still planning to get a phone since my phone is in an unusable state =.=

I haven't see it selling here yet.

I hope they are not just looking to tie it with a service provider.

Apparently, they are. And the price would be similar to the iPhone too. Oh well, at least we know that Palm would bring in their models into Malaysia officially.
