To recap

With a price of nearly £350, it’s hard to see where the true value is in the new Palm smartphone. Yes, it’s cute, it’s eye-catching. But if you want a companion for your big smartphone then a smartwatch would be a better (and smaller still) purchase at a similar price. If you’re after a smartphone with all the functions at a low price, there are cheaper and far more capable options.
