Razzle Dazzle:

The Palm Pixi has officious sexy looks. It is thinnest phone done by Palm compartment now, 0.43 in. thick. This will simply fit into we parsimonious jeans pants. The phone is a sweets club design as great as there in no slider set of keys underneath that adds to a sleekness. The phone doesnt have a plasticy feel that Palms Pre as great as has a improved feel than Pre.

Inside Dope:

Palm Pixi is done as a younger brother of Palm Pre, so if we have been brand brand new to Palm or arent that crazy about mobile phones afterwards buy this phone. Hard core Palm fans will still hang to Palm Pre.

This phone has 2.63 capacitive hold shade that will give ! we a 320 X400 resolution. If a set of keys was absent or had been slider, we could have got a three in. hold shade similar to a iPhone. Loyal Palm fans will frustrate during a rebate of a shade from Pres 3.1 in. 320X480 display to a not as big screen. But this shade as great does a pursuit well. However, using applications similar to e-mail can be a bit severe upon this screen.

The shade is capacitive that equates to we dont have to make make use of of a stylus upon a screen. It additionally has multi hold capabilities as great as we can make make use of of a splash underline (like iPhone). You can hold a shade with dual fingers as great as widen them or bring them tighten as great as a photos upon a shade will wizz in as great as out accordingly.

The fortitude of a shade fulfilled a expectation as great as we played around with utterly a lot of applications to check it. The hold shade was additionally manageable as great as we occasionally got any touches unregistered. The phone has a built in accelerometer wherein a display turns into landscape mode when we put a phone sideways. The accelerometer dealt with transitions quickly as great as it was smooth distinct a little phones where a transitions take time as great as a phone lags. We mostly found accelerometers of HTC phones slow.

The phone has a built in proximity sensor that switches off a phone as great as prevents random touches when a phone is put tighten to your ear, whilst in a call. There is additionally a built in light sensor that dims a light if there is ambient light around, similar to in dim or film theatre. Ringer switch upon a phone silences a toll phone in a single touch. GPS is integrated upon a device for we to find places in box we have been lost.

There is no WI-FI in a phone that will not go great with WI-FI fans. We tested a browser, it was quick as great as just similar to a desktop web browser. A great browser is rare in cell phones as great as with phones similar to RIM this has been a consistent problem. The bra! nd brand new models get improved though a browser peculiarity is a same.

Behind a phone is a camera as great as we were unhappy to a find a dual MP camera. Palm Pre had a three MP camera as great as this is a downgrade of hardware. There is flash in a camera as great as night mode too. The camera will give we a fortitude of 1600X1200. The camera is great by dual MP standards though there is nothing remarkable about a photos. The cinema have been misty as great as blunt. Pres three MP camera is improved than this. You can upload photos to Facebook or share them by MMS or e-mail.

To store we images as great as music, there is an 8 GB inner memory accessible out of that 7 GB is for your use. There have been no enlargement slots in a phone though we have been not complaining as 7 GB is sufficient for all your videos, song as great as alternative files. You can additionally make make use of of a space as a mass storage option for carrying your interpretation files.

Below a shade we get a full distance QWERTY set of keys that is utterly great compared to alternative mobile phone keyboards seen in a market. The set of keys have been same as Palm Pre though a structure is opposite as great as we were some-more gentle tying upon Pixi than Pre. Pre sports a slider set of keys as great as this is a sweets club phone. Palm phones have a hold shade interface though they havent put in a practical set of keys compartment currently in to a phones.

We tested a phone for call peculiarity as great as it was utterly good. We listened a voice of a celebration upon a alternative side utterly clearly. But a calls tend to crush when a volume is full. The phone carried a calls great as great as a calls werent dropped abruptly. Occasionally we did listen to echos as great as sometimes a voice couldnt be listened clearly.

The call peculiarity drops when it comes to speaker phone as great as there was a slight nothing upon a phone. Bluetooth is upheld so we can span your Bluetooth headset for calling.

Th! e Pixi i s shipped with Palm WebOS 1.2.9, though there is an update, with 1.3.1 coming out by November 15th. You can simply get a OS updated from Palm as great as make make use of of a newer software. We expect a newer 1.3.1 to release shortly after Pixi releases.

One of a reasons since we have been excited with a brand brand new program is a Synergy feature; we can sync a contacts from Yahoo as great as alternative messengers into your residence book. But be caring full with how most we add, since some-more contacts will make a phone slower as great as it will take some-more time to access it. The contact page of a individual will afterwards uncover images, e-mail residence as great as phone numbers. If we have added them upon IM afterwards their status (busy, available, offline) will uncover along.

We tested this underline with Yahoo as great as all a contacts were synced great in a first attempt. But afterwards it asked us several time to reenter a password even after a synchronization was complete. On a single side it showed that a sync was finish though kept asking for password. We dont know what went wrong.

In a messaging options, we will be glad that forwarding messages is eventually supported. The iPhone as great doesnt have a SMS brazen feature, so sms fans will rejoice! Email options include flagging a messages, imprinting them as review or unread or moving them to a brand brand new folder. You can select your emails to be delivered unified or keep them in a apart folder.

The phone is powered by user-replaceable1150mAh lithium-ion battery that has sufficient extract for five hours as great as up to 14 days of standby time, complicated make make use of of of video as great as song playback will further revoke a battery time.

Palm Pixi has multi media capabilities as great so lets check them out. The upheld formats have been AAC, WAV, AMR, MP3, AAC+ for song as great as for video a upheld formats have been MPEG-4, H263 as great as H264. Basic functions similar to play, forwar! d, pause , back, etc. You can flip by a album art covers as great as select your song to be played. There is not most bitch whilst transferring song as we can without delay draw towards as great as drop files onto your phone. We checked out sound upon this phone as great as we were utterly happy with it. There is a 3.5 mm head phone jack for we to plug in your a one preferred brand of headphones if we have been not happy with a bundled set. Music peculiarity was good.

In a box, along with a phone, we get AC adapter, USB cable as great as anxiety material. The phone is a first a single to make make use of of Qualcomms MSM7626 chipset as great as a 600 MHZ processor was utterly fast. The phone handles multi tasking really great though a processor will come down to it heels when we make make use of of 7 to 8 applications during a same time. Also there will be delays in transitions whilst using a accelerometer since of a work load upon a processor. But a tests have been utterly consuming as great as I guess a single occasionally uses 7 applications during a same time. But once we open up to 7 applications we will begin noticing a difference even when we begin tiny applications similar to calendar. The imbecility isnt consistent though once it starts, itll frustrating.

Nitty Gritty:

The Palm Pixi is a younger brother to a Palm Pre. It is sleeker than a latter since it doesnt have a slider set of keys as great as it has a not as big screen. The phone is great though it doesnt have all a facilities that Palm Pre has.
