Apparently it bears repeating.

Users are finding there's a glitch in the software (1.3.1) that seems to cause the slowness and jitters. The current answer sucks (run the Pixi on 1xRTT only). An emergency update from Palm could likely fix it.

Screwing with the one at the Sprint store, I can say it does bear out. Switching to 1xRTT makes the software snappy, though not the internets. #palmpixireview

What is the Pixi even trying to be? Centro replacement/entry level smartphone, sure, but really the Pre should have knocked down to $100. Bingo. The Pre could be the cheap phone which would open up a hole in the line-up for a more professional model. Throw a webOS phone with the Droid's form factor for $150 into the mix and you now have a line-up to compete with everyone. And thus ends my rant on what Palm's doing wrong this time. #palmpixireview

Being Slow kills it. My Bold is 640 MHZ and i still think it could be faster. #palmpixireview

Ha. At the Sprint Store trying the Pixi and this is the article I find...

Regarding the stutteriness, this came up today on PreCentral forums today. There's something wrong with the radio programming that makes it trip out. Setting to Evdo or 1x only makes it smooth as butter. I just did it to their display model.

Glitches suck and this thing has um. The brightness keeps changing too. Hope Giz revisits after an update. #palmpixireview

@Fractal the Meek: the brightness changing that you're seeing is the ambient light sensor adjusting the display for "proper viewing" a bit annoying on my pre but i deal with it. #palmpixireview

@victorkruger: Naw, there's another 1.3.1 glitch Pixi users were seeing. It was flickering back and forth more than the Pre was and without cause. Sensor needs re-tweaking. #palmpixireview

The no-wifi kills it for me. Especially if that was a GSM version, I'd need wifi desperately. And the small screen is just yuk. Personally, I don't consider phones with smaller than 3.2" screens anymore (4.3" 1280x720 would be ideal for me in the future). #palmpixireview

Sounds like Palm's Pixi is about as functional as this one, albeit way more aesthetically pleasing. #palmpixireview
