The tiny Palm Phone is expanding yet again. After launching as a standalone device on Verizon earlier this year, Palm is officially launching an unlocked version of its phone which works with US carriers for $349.
Matching the price of the standalone Verizon version, the unlocked Palm Phone is a completely standalone device for those who want to use the 3.3-inch device as their daily driver. This version of the device works as any other phone would, with a SIM card to connect to the carrier of your choice and full calling and SMS functionality.
Notably, this unlocked variant of the device will only be sold through Palm’s site, and it’s only for those in the United States. Further, Palm says the device can be used on most major carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and most GSM networks as well. The company does note that the device won’t work on CDMA networks, though.
We’re excited to announce that you can now pre-order an unlocked Palm standalone smartphone through Palm.com. Starting today, customers who pre-order a standalone device now will also get a free Palm Leather Case with Neck and Wrist Lanyards. What do we mean by “unlocked”? Essentially, we are now selling Palm standalone smartphone on Palm.com. This unlocked version of Palm will be available for customers in the United States only and can be used on most GSM networks, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and MetroPCS.* Do note that the Palm is not compatible with any CDMA networks.
Pricing for the unlocked Palm Phone lands at $349 with pre-orders open today. Palm says orders will ship in 6-8 weeks and come with a free lanyard case.

Palm customer David LaRoque had this to say about his Palm: “It’s so small – but so capable. When I first held it, it was way smaller and lighter than I even expected. I didn’t realize how the
weight of the bigger slab phones made them so much more cumbersome. I continue to be impressed by how fast it is and how well it performs. Every app works great.” Hear more Palm
