Re: Palm has a 3.5" Android phone (Palm Standalone).

My first smartphone was an LG Optimus Net (in 2012, about U$35 toe in the water, mainly to get a QWERTY keyboard for increasing SMS use). It has a 3.2" screen running Android 2.3 on hilarious specs but with a fully functional microSD card with unencumbered App2SD installation. It's still in active use replacing a Sandisk MP3 player for workout and run music and audiobooks, with an old version of OSMAnd for still reliable sat/nav on current OSM maps.  No SIM card, but makes emergency 911 calls.  The camera is still surprisingly good for what it is, and the original (removable) battery is still healthy, but clearly obsolete. Android Gingerbread was a brilliant exercise in efficient coding, and nearly all the apps came in under a couple of megabytes. The incremental value of Androids and apps a hundred times larger and pricier is open to debate..
