Palm Pixi Review |

My contract is done on Dec 1st and I really wanted to upgrade to a Palm Pre.
Hero has a slower processor and it's only on android 1.5.... Not touching that.
Verizon and AT&T are expensive(i am a college student)
and T-Mobile has crap.
What to do? #palmpixireview

Get the Motorola Droid. It supports Google voice, so you can get a very low minute plan and use the great 3G coverage to make calls with Google voice. So that should make up for the price differential. Right now you can get it as low as $200, but if you wait a month it will (for sure) drop to 100-150. Spending an extra 50 for something you use every day is really worth it. #palmpixireview

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

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

She ended up getting the same phone as me, the Hero. No regrets. The Sprint store stated it was the best selling phone right now and the rep had one himself.
But yeah, overall the form factor is really nice, and the keyboard did feel good. Just stick a faster processor in there, w/ a slightly better battery. And get that video recording out in WebOS already! #palmpixireview

Maybe palm will be lucky, and it will "only" be a software issue and not a hardware one. However if this depends on qualcom's help, Palm is screwed. #palmpixireview

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