Palm Pixi Unboxing & Hands-on

[Akwimos93]

Is it possible to use youtube on the phone? :/

[wirefly]

@Akwimos93 Yes, the Pixi will show YouTube videos. If a YouTube app is not loaded in the Pixi, you can download a free app for YouTube.

[yeoolowRAIN]

i like your voice o///o <3

well you should shown how to activate or set the mobile up :(

[Microsoftkid1]

dose skype work on this or the pixi plus?

[wirefly]

@Microsoftkid1 I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think Skype will work on the Pixi, Pixi Plus or the Pre.

Bob at Wirefly

[Microsoftkid1]

@wirefly yea no skype at all but so far loving this phone on att prepaid...

[nervewurrba]

ugh im going to gesture my fist to your area

[theguywholikescars]

Those at&t chips that u need to get signal

[wirefly]

@theguywholikescars Are you asking if the Palm Pixi will accept a SIM card? AT&T (and T-Mobile) use SIM cards to make their phones work. And yes, AT&T did have the Palm Pixi Plus, so there is a Pixi that will accept an AT&T SIM.

Bob at Wirefly

[YummyBears91]

@wirefly will it also work with a tmobile sim card??

[wirefly]

@YummyBears91 The Palm Pixi sold for AT&T is "locked" to AT&T, so you will have to unlock it to use it with a T-Mobile SIM.

Bob at Wirefly

[theguywholikescars]

Can u put a chip on this phone

[wirefly]

@theguywholikescars I don't know what you mean about "putting a chip" on this phone. Can you give me some detail?

Bob at Wirefly

[tecnologyreviews]

[mcbutter1998]

Dude! i want this phone! lol. But its discontined on Verizon :(

[meera1817]

oo ok thats sounds cool thank u so much for getting back to me

[67ztif]

Can you install apps?

[wirefly]

@67ztif Yes, there is an app store for the Palm Pre and Pixi, and apps can be installed on the phone.

Bob at Wirefly

[trackangel523]

@wirefly how do you get apps on the pixi

[wirefly]

@trackangel523 There is an app store for the Pre and Pixi. If you can't figure it out, let me know and I'll get you the details.

Bob at Wirefly

[wirefly]

@trackangel523 There should be an app already loaded on your Pixi, called "App Catalog." Click on it and it will take you to the available apps for the Pixi.

Bob at Wirefly

[meera1817]

@wirefly hi how is the battery life on this phone does it last alday?

[wirefly]

@meera1817 A co-worker here at Wirefly has a Pixi and has had it for close to 2 years. She says the battery life is fair - using it a reasonable amount means she has to charge it during the day. She likes the camera quality.

Bob at Wirefly

[trippster221]

mines in the mail :)

[meera1817]

@trippster221 hi how is the battery life? and how is the camera?

[Sebastian706]

im getting this phone in two weeks

[juliarose1224]

@dastful777 it does?! i'm getting one soon- i didn't know that it had wifi...

[dastful777]

It actually does have wifi.

[ilufffunnystuff]

IT IS UNLOCKED ON O2?

[HolyMolyHolyMoly0428]

Sweet I got this phone today):

[aznpatrik00]

@HolyMolyHolyMoly0428

you should've waited for the palm pixi 2 in mid or early next year.

[jaclamby447]

im planning on getting this phone today... is it any good? :)

[shayla927]

I think this man has a fancy for the color orange.

[jojochere]

"Orange cardboard" Lol! 

[Donavanhelps]

I'm looking for a phone to replace mw Palm 700wx, and I'm not looking for too much chnage in how the phone works, what would be a good phone?

This seems like the best but I'd like to have Windows Mobile.

[technomobile3000]

@Donavanhelps The Pixi And The Pre Have webOS But Palm Make A Phone Called The 'Palm Treo Pro' And That Is A Windows Mobile

[justdance2471]

how do you pronounce ur name?

[BeccaandBri]

i dont like the pre. but i like the pixi; notice he always says: same as the pre

[TheRedMontana1]

mines is being dropped off tomarow, but did you see that start-up screen?

[choppaholix8879]

Make A Video In Spanish

[LeeCeeThree]

I heard the loading is very slow. I hope it is not but if anyone has it, can you confirm it?

[Leckster13]

Somebody help! I don't know if I should get this or the htc aria? What do I do?

[unhappygilmore23]

does this phone have the android market place? or anything like that?

[ironcity1933]

@unhappygilmore23 its webOS market its not Android

[youkhanna1]

getting mine in the mail tomorow

[TheBradley6]

i really want this phone i think i might get it this month

[MsMycookiemonster]

totally

[1bjohnson1]

i'm waiting for the pixi to come out on at&t, so couple questions:

is the treadstone charger included with the phone or have to buy it separate?

i've heard that it does and doesn't have video with the camera, so will it?

also does anybody have any idea on ETA?

[cpdavis64]

Wifi is wireless Internet and if you get it with verizons it does have wifi

[MsAnonymous14]

Since it doesn't have wifi does that mean it has no internet access? I'm receiving this phone soon and I really need internet! Can anybody tell me what wifi is?

[heidi0oo]

Wifi is wireless internet, same as what laptops can run on. The Pixi WILL be able to run internet with WedOS

[harmony463]

if we wanted a video for the pre then we'd look up a video for the pre! damn, dude! i just want to know about the pixi!!

[MrCrayonInk95]

Can somebody please tell me exactly every new feature the pixi has with the new update that just came out. Does it have video recording and a virtual keybaord?

[xXmmaatteeuussXx]

Hmmmm.... The pre is much sexier but more expensive. I have an iPod touch so I don't care about no wifi, so I think the Pixi is more worth it.

[Tobelli]

Is this available in Europe?

[lazyguyrodriguez1]

about 100 bucks if you have a contract

[PrincessAlice1462]

How much does it cost for Verizon?

[NuklearWarfareGaming]

i like how hidden the micro usb port is

[fuhh22]

does this phone require internet??

[xxXXkittennnsXXxx]

what phone do you know that REQUIRES internet??????

[skeeterart]

"and more spanish..."

hahaha but it looks like a great phone! i just ordered one, and hopefully it's on its way:DDD

[bb6s1]

would any body know a bypass for when it asks u to enter a username and a password

[koedfast]

if the pixi had the same processor and memory as the pre it would be my first choice

[lcromy]

I agree with you. After using Treo's for 5 years I prefer that style of phone myself.

[RockBand2Freak78]

Get it for verizon its got wifi and its the same price

[koedfast]

Well Im locked into AT&T with an iPhone untill December 22, 2011

[FloatingTube]

@koedfast Lol dude FYL

[rmdpj5]

it does not have a similar keyboard to the pre

[sakurax3x10]

omg the orange hurts my eyes!!!!

[Zetsuro]

is palm pre better or that phone?

and whats the price of pixi?

[bwallsims]

no wifi is a dealbreaker... i was thinking about it b4 i found out that

[Hollisterhuner]

love it now only if the sprint coverage was better in my area

[elsanchokaki]

or any area LOL

[Hollisterhuner]

true I'm so glad I'm not on sprite, I think palm should license there phones out to better networks.

[Hollisterhuner]

Sprint not sprite sorry

[elsanchokaki]

so true, im on AT&T and would love to have a pre or a pixie. im a big blackberry fan but, these phones are more flashy and have the same functionality which is a definite plus

[Hollisterhuner]

I miss my blackberry I got that stupid iPhone when i upgraded an if you ask me its the joke of the smart phone world, but i sold me blackberry to my cousins friend so I'm stuck with iPhone till my family goes to Verizon this spring then I plain on getting the blackberry tour or storm 2.

[Hollisterhuner]

Sorry for improper grammar and crap its like 1:00 in the morning were i live.

[koedfast]

either wait till the tour gets a trackpad instead of a trackball or get the storm 2.

[Rev8691]

why would you get a blackberry storm over an iphone? those things are horrible.

[FJCM91]

lol thats funny. but sprint does have a good service im switching out of verizon and into sprint.

[skizzrmejanet]

yo dont switch from verizon 2 sprint this phone is coming out on jan. 25th to verizon but with wifi its called tha palm pixi plus

[cjmcdonald44]

i want to get a cool phone for my dad and i was looking at this the Pre is Out! but the pixi i thought woutld be okay my budget is $100.00 so help plez

[hellidiot65]

do you have discounts on this phone..

[iammysteryman1234]

no headphones in the box

[CrazyEskimo1212]

wirefly is making mad i just got my awesome new phone (pixi) and i opened it up tried to activate it and was told that i had to wait 2 hours...BS

[RetroJoystick]

pre or pixi?

[Ramen1020]

the pre's hardware is better.

the pixi is the more stylish/user friendly version

[Gizzlezification]

If i were to switch to Sprint i would get the Pixi. I just like it better than any of their other phones.

[knightsolder]

i dont no why the iphone ppl made the palm pre and pixie like that cuz now there too much like it. with the silent switch and the volume thing... its already like it the only diff is the keyboard...

[fonesmart123]

the thing is the iphone just bombs all the other phones even the ones dat just came out! lik the android people say its still not as good as the iphone! more and more companys are trying to to become the better phone dan the iphone but it isn't working. it kinda like the game, king of the hill the iphone is the king always.

[Ramen1020]

every video ive watched on the iphone vs the droid favors the droid

the iphone is all hype

[SuperFreak551]

does this come with a free case

[eeti27]

Palm sucks

[fallenbmx1]

im all about slim phones. perfect

[klawld]

the pixi looks better and i think looks better. it's also easier to type with it

the features of both phones are basically the same, its just a matter of how much you want wi fi on your phone.

keep in mind it doest take up phones battery

[darthvader239]

i also think it looks better and think it looks better

[kirafan111]

iim Getiing The Palm Pre For My Christmas!

[kirafan111]

i want to get the palm pre!! seems better than the palm pixi!!

[6789832]

haha i phone is definitely not "ftw" palm set the standards way higher. ; ]

[TheKubiq]

umm.. becouse internet is expensive? it depends on country,in mine it is so i buy only phones with wifi. PIXI SUCK

[e5k4t3]

yayyyy customizable pixi!

ha ha ...no

this phone is trash. iphone ftw!

[Luuksterr]

Do you know if the camera has auto focus?

[LibbyOMG]

2 mp camera,

no wifi,

your just diging a hole Palm Pixi.

[zilioet2]

this phone is so cool. im might get this for my birthday. DO you guys know if sprint dose eny discounts for black friday???

[kirafan111]

no it dosent srry!

[xS1D3xK1CKx]

more like the lil sister man

[kirafan111]

haqhahahah ikno right !

[dcohen94]

aww, no pouch?

[PattyCizzakes]

no wifi doesnt upset me because we have the everything data plan, i played with this phone yesterday at a sprint store and im deffinetly getting it in a couple weeks for ma birrrrthday

[TheKubiq]

no wifi = big FAIL

[tripznn]

there is this thing that allows internet and such without wifi :O omgz no way?!

-.- idiot

[kleatux915]

No headphones!?

[camileyoh]

theres a 3.5 mm headjack, no worries

[davincijones]

I returned my Pre because of the slider and cheap construction. I'm definitely ordering this phone on the 15th. good stuff, Palm!

[mrdoomsday77]

i'm glad this isn't a slide as i heard that many people at best buy returned there phones up to phone times since they kept breaking. did you have any problems with lag or dead pixels?

[jasbir1997]

wat firmware is it running on?

[kleatux915]

1.3.1

[starfire11]

i want it!!

orange cardboard... and more clicky!!!!

[jagjagin]

pretty nice, don't like the name tho

[mtbrown75]

I know this was only an unboxing, but you could have at least shown the new FB app and yahoo synergy

[twistatechify]

if you read the link in the description it says that the FB app wasn't on the Pixi already and is maybe coming in the next webOS update. that could be because i think it will come to the Pre too with yahoo and such.

[mtbrown75]

ok got it thanks

[aeth0]

I like this form factor...I wish more phones were like this. I love having touch screen and a keyboard but the sliding mechanism is usually loose and doesn't give a feeling of durability. I hope this comes with a Euro GSM version

[smwaldum]

what version of webOS is it running?

[kleatux915]

1.3.1

[jakerome]

The killer aspect of this phone is the size & weight. At 3.5 ounces, it's about the weight of a droid and 30% lighter than the Pre or iPhone. Easily the most compact, lightest smartphone we've ever seen running a modern OS. Really, it's a lot smaller than many feature phones and will have great crossover appeal to people that would never have considered a smartphone.

This is big.

[BigJim2]

Wow a slower processor and no wifi, im sorry but i had the palm pre and it locked up and it was slow! Now I have the htc hero and it is a lot better!

[freesoapandwater]

Who uses wifi when you have 3g

[BigJim2]

I did but it drained the pres battery like crazy. and wifi is still quicker than 3g

[bigstick500]

You need to spend more time showing how the phone works rather than show all the crap that is in the box...I could care less about that stuff.

[carmen2cali]

dude its an unboxing. and it works like the pre so go watch some pre videos.

[TrevorTra777]

The Pixi is probably meant for business and the Pre is probably meant for consumers.

[Laucheehung]

is this a suckier version of palm pre?

[316elite321]

so its basically a slightly downgraded "little brother to the Pre?"

[brasiliansoxfan]

the palm pre looks better, i meani bet the pixi is better in some standards, but u didnt really have 2 make it a candy bar phone
