Palm Pixi Pro Reviews

ubergizmo‘s review Edit Like Unlike

On the surface, the Pixi is a very attractive phone. It has a great, intuitive, user interface. However, to overcome the performance issues, users have to use the Pixi as a very basic smartphone: try to do as little as possible with it, and it might run just "OK". While this is really your choice to put up with the slow performance (again check the video to see if you think it's "too" slow), I would personally not go for it. As good, small and light that the Pixi is, it should have been built with as a faster phone, period.

The Palm Pixi is a small, sprightly webOS-based smartphone with a lot of potential.

If Palm’s goal here was to make a really killer smartphone for $99 bucks, they didn’t succeed. If their goal here was to make a really killer messaging phone that happened to have some smarts (and, according to them, it was), they pulled it off just fine.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit Like Unlike

It is the lightest and most portable of the major smartphones on the market, and we can't fan the flame of the webOS enough: it just shows how this "social integration" should work and even outshines a desktop browser in terms of combining message streams and calendar items in a way that just makes the device a joy to use. But it can't match the power of the iPhone, the keyboard of the BlackBerry, or the app selection of just about any major smartphone (including the many Android models).

This affordable smart phone offers a friendly touch interface and a good keyboard in a very sleek package, but its performance is lacking.

The Pixi is clearly marketed as the budget device in the webOS lineup, evident by the lack of Wi-Fi, a smaller screen, and a less powerful processor. That being said, it has distinct advantages over the Pre, such as size, lack of moving parts, a more tactile keyboard, and a lower price tag. Though I see a great deal of potential in the future of webOS, like anything else in the wireless industry, it will boil down to personal preference. If you're on the fence, my advice would be to visit a Sprint retail store and experiment with both devices.

The new Palm Pixi is in many ways a successor to the Palm Centro: small, inexpensive, and useful. It's the second webOS device, which is available now from Sprint for under $100.

The Palm Pixi swoops into stores just in time for the holidays. Was Palm able to give the Pixi a magic touch, or does it need another dose of pixie dust to really take off?

The Palm Pixi serves up a solid user experience as a $99.99 smartphone on Sprint. It offers good integration with social networks like Facebook, populates your address book automatically from e-mail accounts, and has a UI that's intuitive and fun to use.

While not as powerful as the Pre, the Palm Pixi offers first-time smartphone buyers a decent set of features in a sleek little package. However, to be really competitive, we think it needs to come down in price just a touch.

The Palm Pre was arguably the most anticipated device of the year, and for the most part it hit the mark. So how do you follow up the device that is supposed to turn your company around? Meet the Palm Pixi ...

It might seem natural to mock the Palm Pixi's name, but it's actually brilliant. This cute, little smartphone isn't going up against high-end phones like the Motorola Droid and the iPhone 3GS. Rather, it could replace cheaper texting phones in the hands of slim-fingered people nationwide.

Palm's latest WebOS device, the sprightly Pixi ($100 with a two-year Sprint contract; price as of 11/10/09), is a slimmed-down version of the Palm Pre in both specs and design. The Pixi lacks Wi-Fi, it has a smaller screen with a lower resolution, and its camera is only a 2-megapixel version. Luckily, the Pixi retains a lot of what we love about the Pre, particularly the features in WebOS. Unfortunately, in our tests the Pixi was sluggish in certain instances, and Palm's signature keyboard design desperately needs rethinking.

Why prance around it? The Palm Pixi's very existence is a cruel joke.

It's hard to believe that Palm is already pushing its second webOS device, the Pixi, out the door. It seems like just a few weeks
