My S5 is overdue for a replacement. >I mainly use it for driving and photos/movies. Galaxy Note S20 Ultra with half a terabyte. I like being able to scribble. I'm hoping that it will actually give me reliable reception, which my 5 year old cheap ZTE doesn't. That's becoming an issue because work wants to authenticate to a phone instead of using a token going forward. Everything I'm reading says that the Galaxy Notes are particularly good in that regard and if I'm spending that much anyway I may as well get all the bells and whistles. It's gross overkill for my needs, but . . .

Thanks. Not sure I want something that large. My current phone is 5.5 x 2.3. That thing is 6.48 x 3.04. Just looked around, the S10e is supposed to be their small phone, 5.9 x 2.75. Not impressed. I might be changing brands. -- Dan Espen

I like my Palm: 2" x 3.8". Not great for a smartphone (camera is ok, screen is small) but it does all the things a smartphone needs to do. Doesn't do hotspot, if that is important to you. If you get it on sale with the juicepack it is a pretty good value. (I think). - Tim

i'm quite interested by this phone but they say that the battery is
quite weak (800mAh if i'm not wrong) and that it's hard to make it the
entire day (even while using it for small tasks, phoning and
messaging). what is your experience around that?

Which is why, I suspect, that he said "with the juicepack", which is an auxillary battery pack.

still asking the question :)

I don't usually run SmartPhone things (games, etc.) all that much. For things that drain the power (like navigation) I'm usually in the car and hook it up to the power plug(or I'm listening to an audio book, ditto). I do have a hiking app that loves to suck power (even when I'm not using it) and sometimes that causes an issue (and the phone notifies me that it is suck power and I can "force stop" it). I can usually (99% of the time) get through a whole day. There are times I have had to invoke the juice pack, which can charge it to about 80% from a dead battery. Since the juice pack also acts as a case, and the phone is so small to begin with, to me it is not a problem. (In fact, I think Palm could market a thicker version that just has a bigger battery and find a market).
I also don't make a lot of phone calls or do texting, so YMMV. OTOH, it charges pretty fast as well. If you drain the juice pack, when you hook up the charge cable the juice pack makes sure the phone is re-charged first, then it switches to charging itself.
With the juice pack it is almost exactly the same size (in all dimensions) as a Samsung Gravity III (not a Galaxy!). I do miss that slide out keyboard....
(The Gravity III lost its mind when the GPS clocks rolled over :( )
Occasionally, Palm has sales, and sale packages. I basically got the juice pack for "free". Or you can get it from Verizon.

actually i found it without the juicepack; still, i do own a powerbank.
but i was wondering if i could take the day as it is (my powerbank is
much larger than the phone). it seems you have little needs of your
phone, like i do, but the juicepack is a thing to have. again, thank
you for your feedback.

Just remember that that phone has the equivalent of 5,000 3330s in it, so much of that storage would be redundant, unless perhaps you're using it for backup.

Yeah no disk packs but if the phone is doing DP work then the tapes might be the data feeds and reports to external systems. You'd need a lot of tape drives going flat out to keep that phone busy, it could also drive a ridiculous number of 1403s with suitable interfacing (channel boxes with wifi dongles perhaps). -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/

That reminds me of the one I saw in rec.humor.funny years ago. Someone mentioned an article about miniaturization which stated that soon you'd have a 3090 in your wristwatch. "Great," our guy observed, "you can boot MVS on it and the first thing it'll do is ask you the time." -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | Microsoft is a dictatorship. \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | Apple is a cult.
