    I would love to see HTC walk away with the deal... They are amazing when it comes to smart phone and innovation....

        This is sad because Palm has really good smartphones on the market. I am in Costa Rica and I have the unlocked Treo Pro working fine on the 3G network and I love it, the thing is that people like very easy to use phones and Palm phones require a little thinking and probably that is what people do not like to do.

                                  Niraj, 12 Apr 2010Nokia has enough money, they can easily buy palm...You can't just go around buying stuff because it's "easy" and you have money.

                                  This business is about making profit, looking at good investments and building image.

                                  It's not Monopoly board game.

                                      According to the recent reports in Bloomberg, Palm has enlisted the help of Goldman Sachs and Frank Quattrone's Qatalyst Partners to help the company place it self in a profitable sale.

                                        Nokia was gonna buy Palm end of last year but backed out at the last second, i think it was because of Palms unrealistic valuation of the company.

                                        I think Palm has taken a good look at themselves and the new valuation seems alot lower.

                                        it will be interesting if Nokia is gonna come back for the second round.
