Tiny new smartphone from Palm

[Marjo]

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd share this article I saw today on TechCrunch. It mentions a tiny-looking smartphone that is rumoured to be in the making by a company called Palm. Quite cute, I think, especially with it's (also rumoured) working name "Palm Pepito".  

Have you seen this before? Smartphones have gotten larger and larger in terms of screen size over some time now... would you go back to using a smaller-size one, like this one below? If not using one permanently, can you think of any specific instances where a smaller phone would be useful?

There are more images of the front, back and side in the article here as well as more info about the phone itself.

Not for me @Marjo, way too small for what I do on my phone which is everything. The larger the screen the better for me, particularly as I watch films, TV shows and baseball games. I also play games, shop online, pay bills as well all on my phone. So need to be able to see what I'm doing.

Cute phone, though but definitely not for me.

I need as big a size phone screen & big buttons as I can get ... so ... it's a no thank you from me ... very happy with Xperial L1 particularly with new case for various reasons

It's like taking a trip back in time seeing how small it is.

Not for me @Marjo The older I get, the larger the screen I require. I'll stick with my Note 8 thanks

3.3 is far too small to read stuff on the net and I can’t imagine typing on that keyboard!

Except that photo is actually the Palm Pre! See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Pre and look at the screen display.

The actual supposed phone is the rather bland and anonymous rectangle in the middle of the link. Doomed to obscurity as one thing Palm did was actually have interesting designs.

Way too small for me. Those keys would be impossible to use!
