Palm Pixi / Reviews

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.

Still, it's more sluggish than its predecessor,... More

The Pixi is screwed. It's totally cannibalized by the technologically superior Pre, which you can find for under $100. Even if you can get the Pixi for $30 at Walmart, it's worth trading up to the Pre for $40 or $50 more if you're absolutely wedded to the idea of a webOS phone, simply for the speed and... More

The Pixi is well named. It is a tiny little phone. The back and sides are rounded and smooth, making it extremely comfortable to hold. It feels great in the hand, and is thin and light enough that it will be a welcome companion on any journey. The overall fit and finish of the Pixi feels somewhat better... More

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 ago that we were eagerly awaiting the release of the Pre, a phone that was considered to be the last gasp for the badly ailing company, and now it's poised to add an entirely... More

Call quality was good on Pixi.  Callers reported us as an 8.5-9, saying there was a very slight echo, almost like we were in a chamber, but that it was a very minor issue.  On our end they sounded just fine with good volume and voice reproduction. Battery life on Palm Pixi is surprisingly good... More

Overall, I'm delighted with the Pixi. I was a Centro user and while researching, found that very few reviews focussed on the issues a Centro user might face beyond data transfer.

So here goes:

In case you couldn't tell by the title, this phone is not my friend. I *hate* it. I had a Palm for two years before this and *loved* it, so I thought this would be an easy transition. Not so.

Pro: I love how it syncs with Google Calendar and Contacts. It's nice to be able to update either... More

Switched from a BlackBerry and love this little phone. Even though it is smaller than my BB, the screen is larger.

Pros: good keyboard; very nice display; webOS is incredible; nice apps; push email excellent; browsing great; multitasking fun; touchstone charger is GREAT idea; very responsive touch... More

This phone replaced the Samsung Intercept (I purchased three of those and returned them after a few weeks, please see my review on that piece of garbage). My wife and daughter both use this phone and it is an excellent, tiny, well designed little device. Perfect for my girls and the WebOS is very very... More
