To be fair it wouldn’t be the first time a lifestyle luxury phone brand took off (see Vertu or Porsche Design). Palm does still have mindshare in the older crowd so that could be leveraged. The issue is the new logo bears no resemblance.

Alternatively, if they keep the price down it can be a viable second phone when traveling light (provided batt life doesn’t suck).

Personally I think their pitch on the site sucks and the product will be a flop since there’s no way in hell they’ll get software and hardware build quality perfect at launch. It might inspire xiaomi or another more experienced Chinese manufacturer to make a better comparable product.
