If it's good, it's worth it. I have a phone about this size and it doesn't do anything other than SMS, phone calls, and Snake; and while I would lose the tactile feel of real buttons, if TCL's "Palm" had even one twelfth the standby time of my current phone, and competent enough as a standalone device, it would be worth considering at $350.
I don't get why people (including TCL and Verizon, it seems!) are calling it a "second phone", as though everyone in their right mind is reading novels on their telephones. At least half of the people I know are considering switching, or already have switched, to a feature phone because new phones have awful, unpredictable battery life and are unwieldy in size (and recently, because most of the things they thought they gained from smartphones seem to come with massive privacy strings attached).
The biggest problem with the TCL Palm, to me (if the standby time is okay, on the order of four days, and it probably isn't with the size of the battery), is that it is locked to Verizon, and only available as a secondary phone; this means I just can't buy or use it right now.
