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

    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. :D
