It'll be better to burn your €400 in your kitchen than use it to buy this garbage.

        Anonymous, 12 Oct 2019Yesthere is no way this 'phone will last a day without recharging, unless you're keeping it SWITCHED OFF; in fact, you will likely have to recharge it SEVERAL TIMES OVER in the course of any 24 hour period, which leads me to expect with its non-replaceable battery that you'll end up with an even more useless telephone than it already is after you've cycled through the charge/discharge enough times and the battery starts to lose its efficiency.

        sending a handful of text messages and making a short telephone call (let's say of around 10 minutes duration) is going to knock the stuffing out of your battery charge, so if you're operating the telephone for a full day (even if only considering day-time hours) you are likely to have to recharge it at least once, if not twice.

            palmUserInKorea, 15 Sep 2019I bought one on eBay, verzion sidekick model. Nonetheless... moreNo you cannot put in the unlocked ROM. They do not have unlocked bootloader, so no way to flash any custom binary. I use it the same way, i have disabled all the apps from Verizon and installed lighter versions most task from app store. Like Uber lite, Firefox Lite, Gallery Go etc.

              Kerl, 02 Oct 2019How is the battery life ? You can use the palm phone one... morethe battery life is absolutely appalling.. I'll give you an example:
              - I can turn it on, and turn it off, and it'll be showing me a loss of 5% power!
              (I'm not exaggerating, this has happened to me on more than one occasion)
              this is hopelessly flawed in design, and I'll be sending mine back on my return to the US (I picked up one of the unlocked versions for stand-alone use when they started shipping them in August) as it is about as useful as a chocolate fire-guard if you're looking for a stand alone 'mobile' 'phone - this model is going to need tethering to a power supply if you do any amount of anything on it.

              FYI - the above happened to me with NOTHING syncing in the background, I had the display set to 16% brightness, and I so desperately wanted the bloody thing to replace my Sony Xperia Mini Pro.

              I contacted the company asking why they didn't make it thicker with more battery inside it, and they alluded to design difficulties with Li-ion battery thickness and fires. No matter what (because other manufacturers seem to get bigger batteries in their units) even a split shell which incorporates more battery power with a fan in the middle (like the smallerDell XPS notebooks) would give more utility than something that's water resistant and dust resistant & so light you can barely feel it in your pocket but that can't last more than a few hours if you're actually using the bloody thing.

              an utter waste of money if you ask me, and for $350 USD a huge white elephant in the smaller mobile 'phone market

              * and the operating controls are pretty sketchy too.. IF ANYONE is reading this from Palm, for god's sake get someone with decent UX experience & design on your team; with a few changes this 'phone could be what everyone wants - what a wasted opportunity.

                  my opnion of what could change:

                  *bigger battery (around 1800 to 2900 mAh using Li-Po and increasing the size to 4" max) and removable

                  *headphone jack

                  *volume buttons

                  *14nm CPU (maybe GPU as well)

                  *2GBs of RAM (i wouldn't use much more than that,unless Android eats too much of it)

                    palmUserInKorea, 15 Sep 2019I bought one on eBay, verzion sidekick model. Nonetheless... moreThe same here. US versions are not the best choice. Locked Bootloader, No 4G. I have tried every root solution without any success.
                    This phone just flys below the radar of any capable persons..

                      I bought one on eBay, verzion sidekick model.
                      Nonetheless I use it as a standalone phone in Korea(KT network).

                      I'm curious if I can swap the rom with global version rom.
                      I do like the phone, but not the useless verizon softwares(myverizon, message+ etc.).

                      Is there anyone who can help me ?

                        josco, 22 Jun 2019i love the design of this mobile but , have you noticed tha... moreI bought one, and alarmingly saw something similar on the unit I've got.. I'm sending it back and am extremely concerned all of them are like this - which would negate trying to use it as a mobile at all, since you're going to have to have it plugged into the wall or your computer the entire time you're using it. Battery life is just nonsensical. What a horror of a design flaw.

                          Refurb, US$100 - maybe forget the phone and use it as an MP3/streaming music device?

                            I can’t take it seriously, but want to play with one anyway. (Shrug). Only Verizon? And $350? Meh

                                        The idea is great. Execution has more negatives than I'd pay $350 for. If they had a more efficient and powerful processor, higher resolution OLED screen, bigger battery, and could switch between being a companion phone and a standalone, that would justify this price and a little more. For a cherry on top, I'd want it to be rooted fairly easy and expandable storage. All that should be more than manageable, but I doubt it'll ever happen.
