Palm Experimenting With Swivel-screen Design

Deviating form their more traditional pudgy candy bar designs with QWERTY keypads, rumor has it that Palm is ‘experimenting’ with a new swivel screen design for an upcoming model that reports are calling the Roteo.

Since none of this has been confirmed by the company yet, the handset’s features (should it make it out of the testing room) are not too clear. What we can say from the image is that the handset will still feature Palm’s QWERTY keypad design that will be reveled when the handset’s seemingly large display is swiveled around to landscape. The same image also shows a video call camera in front and what seems to be some sort of a small finger track-pad for navigation under the keypad.

There’s no information on a release date or a pricing yet so stay tuned.
