Palm Pixi: WebOS goes for Round 2
A quick look at the new Pixi will not suffice, the phone just looks too good. It does not matter what angle you come in at, this is one very astounding phone. Sideways, you will not see much of the phone’s features. In fact, sideways, you will hardly see the device at all, the 0.43 inches thinness is incredible; a much slimmer device than the iPhone in fact.
The External
Up front, this device is a beauty, from the neat and shiny keys, to the glossy touch screen to the hard black finish, the colors and texture are very elegant and stylish, meanwhile the form and lines add a sense of depth and trendiness to the phone. Being so small, this little device feels rather cute.
The back of the Pixi is the tradition Palm soft textured backing. The width of the phone also slopes a little inward creating a solid yet comfortable grip.
Hardware and Features
The Palm Pixi comes packed with a full QWERTY keyboard on the face of the phone. It may seem cramped at first, but a close look reveals that each key has ample spacing in between. A marvel when you consider the width of the device. Even more astounding is its usability. The Pixi’s keyboard is not only responsive, but it can easily be used by one or both hands without much trouble.
The capacitive touch screen may be small at 2.63 inches, but that is all that the Palm needs for all the functions and features you will have. Speaking of functions; applications, files and media can be stored in the 8GB of internal storage. It’s a lot, but considering the lack of a micro SD card slot, it is important to have lots of internal space. The good thing is, it has a micro USB slot for backing up and transferring new media.
