The Palm phone was initially designed as a companion to an, um, real smartphone. The main purpose of this miniature phone was to let people escape from their digital lives but still have a way to make calls, send messages and draft emails in a pinch. Soon after it launched, Palm re-released the phone as a primary device with a slightly improved camera and longer battery life. 

The new unlocked model is the same as the Verizon version, which means it has a 3.3-inch display, a Qualcomm 435 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The Palm phone takes photos using a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera and an 8-megapixel selfie cam.  

We weren't particularly impressed by the Palm phone, and we criticized its tiny screen, poor performance and high price in our review. Still, the toy-like stature makes this phone undeniably likable, and we appreciate its compact, premium design. If you think you need a simplified secondary device to help you unwind, then the Palm is a compelling option.
