Palm Pixi is Palm’s Second Great Device
The next WebOS device lives up to expectations. After the Palm Pre, people knew that the mobile phone manufacturer is capable of delivering what the world needs. The Web OS is amazing and the Pre itself is a great little phone to have. Now, eyes are set on the Palm Pixi, and it is not just because of expectations too.
The Palm Pixi is a truly eye-ctaching device. Its small, compact yet incredibly, undeniably stylish; the sleek curves and the overall form of the device makes it quite the intriguing mobile phone. From the touch screen to the keyboard on the face of the device and the soft back finish, every detail in the design of the Pixi was made to delight the eyes.
The Keyboard Run Down
Most Pixi reviews will tell you that the best part of the Pixi is the most noticeable one, the keyboard. A full QWERTY keyboard sits right below the screen and while it looks impeccably well made, it makes you wonder if it actually works well when used.
Surprisingly, it does. In fact, some might even say that it feels better than using the slide out landscape keyboards on other devices. It is no wonder that Palm has high hopes for the Pixi; they really put a lot of thought in to making this phone a great one.
More Hardware
The wonder does not stop with the keyboard. As many have seen with the Pre, the WebOS is a truly remarkable system; it is easy to navigate, intuitive and fast. It has been noted that the WebOS on the Pixi loads a whole lot slower at times. This is probably due to the fact that the processor (Qualcomm MSM7627) is only 600MHz.
The Palm Pixi also has a 2 mega pixel camera and LED flash. These days, it should be a standard that phone cameras be equipped with LED flash as bad lighting conditions are more common.
