Great phone. Too bad the phone wasn't enough to save the company.

@ai4281 I agree. I'm hoping that Palm will be acquired by HTC. A phone built with HTC's hardware and Palm's webOS would be sick.

@infamoustechblog That may be good for Palm, but end up being bad for HTC. HTC has enough on their hands already... I think Huawei or some hardware ODM with less brand recognition should buy Palm.

@ai4281 I'll admit that HTC is definitely a busy company these days, but I don't think purchasing Palm would hurt. They've recently gone on record stating their desire to have their own OS, and Palm's webOS would be a great place to start. I think Palm's biggest problem is their hardware. Both the Pre and Pixi are nice phones to use, but their small, plastic designs hold them back. I'm not very familiar with Huawei's device history, they may also make a nice match, but I wouldn't rule out HTC.
