Palm on Sub $250 phone

I would be thrilled to see palm os on a more "normal" form factor with a cheaper price, which is where garnett (todays palm os 5) will be used.

Treo is great but palm on a regularly sized flip or other phone would be fantastic. The existing operating systems they put on those things suck, though i do like symbian. The samsungs that have palm (sph-i550 for example) are too big and too expensive.

I agree - it would be nice to see a more affordable Palm based phone because like Symbian there's a lot of software available for it (and it's easy to develop more).
