    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

    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

    I almost bought this for my wife this past weekend, but she was turned off by the smaller screen and lack of video, and I was turned off by the lag.

    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

    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

    Hey Palm... is it asking too much to have a customizable incoming message sound? Between my wife's Pre and my coworkers' I'm going a bit nuts, checking my phone everytime someone else gets a message.

    Yeah, I could install Palmware, but really? 5 months in, a phone in 2009, no customizable sounds for notifications?!?!

    Only real complaint. #webos

    @Lizard_King: They did add support for that in this update, for the messaging app.

    @ipodrulz: I'm with you. I like the form factor. I just think the speed is too slow. I like the hardware better than the cheapo feel of the pre... #pixi

    I definitely would like to hear what you think about 1.3.1: The new update that is already on the pixi and will be on the pre. Lag issues should be less, hopefully, and everything should be a little more snappy and quick. Thanks! #pixi
