    You all act so shocked, even though Chen showed on day one that the Pre was built for this.

    Hahahahahaah. That is just rich. I thought I saw hundreds of posts saying there would NEVER be Fart Apps on Pre or Android because there wouldn't be a market for them and these platforms would only attract "serious" developers.

    Now we'll get people saying that out of the 1000 apps available for the Pre, 50% are fart apps, or whatever such nonsense.

    Karma.

    For the record I could care less about brands/platforms/carriers/fart apps.

    @vqro: I've never seen a post saying that there would never be them, I only saw the hope that there never would and that there were too many of them in the app store. Now we must ridicule the Pre too because of the fart apps.

    I dont think its that big of a deal if the Pixi doesnt have iTunes syncing. All Android powered phones dont have it but everybody is in love with them now. Yes it was a dirty hack that was awesome but I dont see it as a deal breaker. #palmpixireview

    In reply to Palm Pixi Review
    Palm is not doomed... *denial?*

    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

    @ho0lee0h:

    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

    In reply to Palm Pixi Review
    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

    In reply to Palm Pixi Review
    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

    In reply to Palm Pixi Review
    For those who actually do some research, there is an issue between the EVDO radio and the new Qualcomm chipset that's causing the lagging. Especially when you have an app that uses data services.

    Palm is in the process of fixing it, #palmpixireview

    @dcoaster: Additionally, this is how their review unit operates...the one they are suppossed to review. Obviously, Palm hasn't given them a note or warning about the problem, so excuse Gizmodo if they're not reading Pre fansites and taking the rumors on the message boards for fact. #palmpixireview

    @jon.athan: That's understandable. However, if someone comes to look at this review 2 months from now because they want to decide whether to purchase the Pixi, they'll see this outdated information about lag and such and will be misled. Software is always changing with these new mobile OSes and unless the tech site editors don't want to edit their reviews every time software does change, I'd suggest to keep the software out of the picture and focus on the things that won't change, like the acceptable hardware. #palmpixireview
