gotta say that was a really informative review i thought that one thing that you could of done is that you could of touched a bit on games and applications
but apart from that it was a great review thanks youve swayed me to get one
just one question i have A i phone 3gs and i am getting a new phone i was thinking of this one
do you think that i would be disappointed with the pixi or not please reply soon i need a new phone very soon
@harrytyo You won't be disappointed. The operating system is light years ahead of Apple's but you may be a little underwhelmed by the app catalog. It's not baron, but it's no app store. You can get the Palm Pixi Plus on PAYG for £100 now at O2 UK.
hey im just wondering do you have to have internet on this phone and pay for it each month or can you just not have internet and not pay for it cuz i cant afford that kind of stuff
@UNEEDME2WiN yes... but because of the problem Apple gave at there iTunes version 9. Its better to have a version 8 and use the media sync option when you plug-in the device to your computer.
Reminds me of the ipod touch...Lol the touch part...And the 8 gb thing and you have 7.1 it made me laugh lol. But otherwise I'm thinking of getting it. Great review!
I want this phone, but I'm afraid of the keyboard being too small. =/ I'm used to T9 on the regular keyboards, that have 3 letters each, and are big. These look TINY!
i like the pixi. but the processor is not as good as the Pre. I want a new high end web OS device that is not the Pre. make it GSM and im all in. Jon R. is doing sooo well with Web OS. i see palm having a bright future. Also i hope they make a PDA with web OS that is not a phone i would buy one.
i am having an issue with my pixi. just got it new years eve and it refuses to use the built in ear pice for phone calls. it either wants to use the speaker phone or a head set that i do not have. any suggestions? other then that, its a kick ass smart phone. first smart phone i have ever had and i like it alot. it can defenately rival that of the iphone. just not the memory capacity. but it holds as much as my 4th gen nano does.
what palm tried to do with the pre i think theyve succeeded in with the pixi. Watch out apple. In my opinion, the palm pixi is just a smidge cooler than the iPhone. Not that the iPhone isn't technically better, but for apple to be out cooled? Thats pretty darn good.
@ohmygosh1614: oops, submitted my last comment early by accident. the screen locks itself after a set time (that you can pick). also if you turn off the screen by hitting the power button in the corner it'll automatically be "locked".
do you have to pay extra for 3g internet connection? or is it just part of the phone, like could i use the 3g internet without even activating the phone with sprint or whatever
Nice review. I have to admit I wasn't too interested at first in the Pixi, but after seeing your review (+ Walmart offering it for $30 with a 2 year contract), it's very tempting to go out and get one. I forgot how sexy webOS is, too.
wow i loved your video. i have a choice of getting a palm pixi or a blackberry curve. i am 15 years old. i love to text and instant message and i would like to have about 100 songs and be able to used internet without a lot of problems i was wondering of what you would recommend for me?
I know you asked mobileburn for a rely. but i just got my mom a Curve ad i got the pixi. For you being 15. I say go with pixi. they are both excellent.
I liked the Pre's keyboard, although it was small I was still able to use it efficiently. I don't like the Pixi's design at all, and they shortened the damn megapixel count as well. Good review MB.
