You imply that the Palm Zire was a phone but that was not the case - it never had phone functionality..

It is meant to be an inexpensive phone, but when they introduced it into Canada (and we even had a cool exclusive colour not found in the US!) the cost unfortunately was no less than the iPhone. So, what's a girl gonna do? I went for the iPhone. ;-) I think it is unfortunate there isn't more price differentiation for different audiences.
