I bought this phone to do the same. I use my sony XZ1 compact for work when I tavel, but for everything else I've used the palm phone. I purchased the mophie juice case which gets ya one full charge. The mophie case doesnt hinder the use of the phone in any way. Haven't tried wireless charging with the case yet, but over all I am happy with my purchase. Along side this I use a Pebble time Steel running Rebble OS :) which also keeps me from looking at my phone. My watch comes with voice dictation for a $3 a month subscription. I will say this phone won't be for everyone, but if you are conscious of your phone use and want to change your ways, I found this to be the first step in literally taking a step back to enjoying life not being glued to a smartphone.

Good stuff JDubb! Pretty tiny phone!

83% bat @ 3:20 - 78% bat @ 4:50 Thats the only thing at stopping this phone from being great.

Great review. Will you be posting an update?

How'd it go? Curious as I'm looking to decrease the amount of my screen time and I think this would be great. Other than the battery life I think that this phone would be perfect. What are your gripes and likes? Thanks, ~M~

No one, including the Best Buy Techs and the Verizon store techs know anything about this phone. Yes, the PVG100 that you are unboxing is meant to be used as a companion phone. Who the *&^% wants a companion phone. The PVG100 S (letter S) is a stand alone phone. Same phone but stand alone and it is great! Instead of lugging that standard phone around you can slip Palm S phone into your wallet, your shirt pocket etc.. and not lug around the big phones. As for use it has everything; messaging, phone, calendar MS Office products, I use Excel spreadsheets extensively when I am on the road, super easy to see and use. So, stop getting stuck on the companion phone, tell the world about the S model; a great standalone phone with great visuals and sound (identical to the one you are reviewing but STAND ALONE). PALM really needs to believe in their S product, advertise the Palm S, educate the phone techs about this product and drop the companion phone.

Nice vid

hello where can i buy power pack bundle

I just bought one of these...I have an SE as my daily so I'm interested to try both this and android

Cool

Interesting phone. I hate all the contemporary phones as none of them are compact. Do you think this can be a good daily driver? I am a mathematics teacher who doesn't use all the apps. I use outlook, whatsapp and facebook app occasionally. But I will be away from a power socket for long time in a day.

Huh very interesting ! And cute

Love the video is buy this phone haha
