Ha, I was on eBay yesterday and you can get a unlocked Palm for $99 and I think it said it worked on 4G with Oreo 8.1. Those are 3.3".

I actually just backed this phone. I have a Galaxy S10 as my primary for the last year and a half - and I love it... A little too much! Currently my SIM is in a BlackBerry Q10 (I kid you not) but Verizon is just about to require VoLTE and while it has LTE, it doesn't have VoLTE so it'll be cut off at the end of the year.
Why do I want this tiny phone? Well - to use as a phone that isn't constantly nagging me for attention to endlessly scroll through social media and take pictures of every darn thing in front of me. I think it'll be refreshing, but won't ever replace a full featured smartphone but can be a nice weekender or detox device to use when needed. That's how this Q10 is. No Facebook app, no Instagram, no - anything really other than Email, Calendar, SMS, Telegram (Android APK works great actually!), Radar, Basic HTML5 Browser, Camera, and that's about all I have on it.
Now - just to wait for December to get here, but bet I won't get one in my hand until 2021 if things to the way they have with the economy and shipping speeds.
PS. I should mention I owned the Palm Phone for about 3 months - resold it because of the atrocious battery life when not in Life Mode (auto Airplane mode basically). Even with the Mophie case it still couldn't make it through a day with the antenna turned on. Sure, you can leave it in "Life Mode" but what if the wife has to call about the kid? Miss a call from the school? No go. 800 mAh is just not enough. Jelly 2 has 2,000 for comparison and a lower res screen and better more efficient SOC as well.
