:(, if only this would have been real. My first smartphone was the palm pixi. Loved webos and still use it on my touchpad occasionally. Not sure if it would have kept me away from android permanently but I would have definitely bought it.

I totally would love to have seen WebOS do well with a phone like this. I loved my original Palm Pre on Sprint. Everyone I knew that had the Pre left for either the iPhone on another carrier or Android since the Pre versions that came after that on AT&T were less than desirable.

Actually looks pretty nice. I've heard that all the people that used webOS in the past loved it, but I've never really tried it.

This device had it been released around when Palm still around, could have saved Palm and Web OS instead of releasing a refreshed version of the same phone.

Yep, wish the idiots at palm would have gotten it through their heads earlier that their stupid chiclet button format needed to die 7+ years ago. But they didn't.

But have no fear! One of the guys responsible for webos GUI interactions is at Google now giving it the "card" treatment."

If only a company with vision had acquired WebOS, instead of HP. WebOS was awesome, and had the potential to shoot to the top.

i hope webOS could rise again! i really hate that android,iOS and WP are replacing the old smartphone... the webOS, blackberyOS, and symbian OS....

i hope this 3 could make a market share again... maybe BBOS ans web OS only since nokia kill symbian...

i dont completely hate the Android, iOS and WP but i just hope that webOS and BBOS will be back on top too! and have a great competition!!!

So ATT denied the phone cause it didn't have LTE? So ATT killed webos?

Sorry I had to get in my daily conspiracy theory.

AT&T killed webOS not HP! I knew it!!! It all makes sense now!
