Palm phone - okay we need to talk about this so many reviewers have picked up the palm and
have deemed it to be not a replaceable phone for your iPhone or your Samsung no
kidding it's not supposed to be today I'm gonna share with you five things and
reviewers have got wrong when talking about the Palm.
Hey welcome to another

This is the palm phone essentially a cute little phone. At three point eight inches tiny little
phone but make no mistake it is a full Android eight point one system it's not
PalmOS and it's not a scaled-down version of Android it is a full-blown
Android which means that your Android apps will run on the Palm. More on
that a little bit later currently in the u.s. it's available only through Verizon
available as a companion phone and you're gonna use it on the Verizon
number sharing system essentially what that means you still have your main
number at Verizon you don't mind mobile number but if that phone is off or you
leave that file home this Palm phone will still rings you can make calls receive
calls as if it's coming from the same number when it comes to your messages if
you use the messaging plus app that comes from the Verizon then all your
messages will synchronize between your main phone and the palm if you're using
an iPhone well unfortunately I message doesn't synch in the system now what are
the reviewers get wrong well let's get started
okay so the first big one is
that some people are saying that is not a replaceable phone for your iPhone or
your samsung phone well no kidding the entire point of this phone is that it
allows you to leave your main phone at home this is a companion phone if you
look around you if you're in a restaurant or if you're at in any public
scene you'll probably see entire families huddled together around the
table each one facing down hunched over they find texting social meeting
watching YouTube and the communication happens to be just to the top of
people's heads that is why this phone is helpful the idea with this is that the
phone is just a tool now some people are saying that all you
got to do is leave your main phone at home and that solves the problem
now it doesn't ping a parent I know that when I go out I want to make sure I got
peace of mind but if my kids need me I'm available to be contacted spec by spec
comparing us to the flagship laws it doesn't stack up no kidding it's like
comparing your car to your bicycle you know your cars faster it's more
comfortable it's got AC it's got all these bells and whistles and your
bicycles simply doesn't have it well of course not you're comparing two
different things to each other so people are saying that you just used their
do-not-disturb or the aeroplane mode on your main fine therefore the palm is
pointless I disagree the reason I disagree is
because we're just simply not disciplined enough we all know that yes
we can do it but the odds of us actually doing it and doing it every time I'll
probably slim to none so to be honest that's not a good
argument either it's not easy to use well it's Android so we swap down
there's your notifications you open up your apps there they are go into your
Play Store download them and install them and it works exactly as your normal
Android phone does now of course you're not gonna ride you entire email
manifesto on this little guy it's difficult to top absolutely there is the
point of us but you will use the Google assistance and you'll use voice
dictation much much more than you would on your regular file the next argument
is that it's simply not practical and it's pointless when you take it out with
you again with respect we disagree on my palm I
currently have uber I've used left I've used Google Maps on it I've taken out
with me multiple times and it just does exactly what it's supposed to do it is
absolutely practical yes I do go into my Instagram Twitter Facebook and see what
it's all about so it actually does do all of that it's just on a tiny little
screen and again I go back to the whole point that that is the point of having
the pump now don't misunderstand me is the fine
perfect absolutely not there are some issues I mean for example it doesn't
have a headphone jacks and uses bluetooth now bluetooth drains the
battery 800 milliamp battery hours well that's not really too much now you get a
good 3-4 hours on this if you're using Bluetooth GPS Wi-Fi you know all of
those who have heavy applications at the same time that the second thing is the
camera now the camera is a hit-and-miss I've had taken some really great shots
with it and it's been no pablo low-light shots have been no problem but then
other times it's just been washed out so again hit and miss on the camera I'm
taking videos on this that one definitely didn't work so well for me
again maybe it was just the conditions that I was in just something to think
about the way I look at the palm is that it's part of a digital detox but still
giving you the opportunity to be connected so you have that peace of mind
you know we so connected 24 hours a day instant gratification world we live in
always connected i exactly levels are through the roof our stress levels are
through the roof because of every beep we jump to see what's wrong and what we
need to deal with so do I still check my social media when I go out with the
phone absolutely do I still check my emails yes I do is
this thing perfect definitely not is it a good digital detox kind of step
absolutely and that is why I love it so let me know in the comments below is
this the kind of digital detox you're willing to take let me know what you
