Great value, fully featured, very fun to use.
I bought the Palm Pixi because I've been a Palm fan for years. I love my old Palm Zire 72, and I was very excited when they came out with their next-gen operating system, WebOS.
The best thing about WebOS is the multitasking. It is hands down the best multitasking method of any smartphone on the market. When you want to switch apps, you swipe up, and your open applications appear as "cards" exactly where you left them. You can pause an app doing nearly anything, and come back to it and pick up exactly where you left off.
WebOS has all the standard features expected in a smartphone: support for a myriad of email providers, including full Exchange (and Zimbra) support and great Gmail integration. The email client could use a few features, such as the ability to manipulate many messages at once like you can in iOS. Messaging in great, with the ability to message a person via SMS and IM in the same conversation.
The application menu isn't as flexible as the iOS or Android menu, and feels cluttered. There also isn't any way to add applications to your home screen, though there is a dock. There are over 10,000 applications in the store, but not enough that you won't miss a few if you already own an Android or iPhone.
The battery life isn't very good, and I've had difficulty getting through the day if I use my phone more than a little. I've bought a new battery (they're very cheap) to see if my battery is just old or worn out.
The phone is discontinued, so accessories are absurdly cheap. You can get a touchstone (wireless) charger and touchstone cover for ~$7, and cases and batteries (OEM, mind you) for ~$3.
The camera is fine, but at 2MP its nothing spectacular. Bluetooth only supports audio devices, no file transfers. There is no expandable memory, but you can plug the phone up with a USB cable and use it as a removable drive. It's also slow to startup, but that isn't a frequent occurrence. No complaints about the web browser, although many sites don't recognize I'm using a mobile device.
One thing to watch out for is the Maps application. It came with a Google Maps app, but this no longer works and you are instructed to upgrade to the new Bing Maps program. However, all the reviews say that Bing Maps just does not work at all, and hence I haven't bothered downloading it. Seeing as it's a Sprint phone though, you can use the free Sprint Navigation app, which is a fine substitute for Google Maps.

Average hard drive, nothing fancy
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich It was cheap, but it is a 4200 rpm drive and has little cache, so it is not a performance drive. It works great on older laptops that need a little more space, but don't install this in a modern system; it will just slow it down.

A great buy, high quality product
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich I love this monitor! 22" is wider than you can imagine, and the 1680x1050 resolution allows me to watch widescreen and hi-def movies on my computer. This monitor is a bargain and i would highly recommend it to all but the most extreme/picky gamer.
