<p><a href="http://www.precentral.net/palm-pixi-review">Pre Central</a> has a great review of the Palm Pixi, we can&#8217;t wait for the Pixi to come to Verizon:</p>
<p>The $99 Palm Pixi will be unleashed upon the world this Sunday and after using one full-time for two days, I can say it&#8217;s a great smartphone for anybody who hasn&#8217;t made the jump past feature phones. The Pixi comes in a tiny, almost bite-able form-factor that&#8217;s immediately appealing &#8212; all the more so because inside that little frame is the elegance and power of webOS.</p>
<p>For current smartphone owners, however, there are a few compromises that, all combined, lead me to suggest that most those interested in webOS should still opt for the more powerful Pre.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Awb0mUNdiCc&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Awb0mUNdiCc&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>The Pixi is Palm&#8217;s best attempt yet to broaden their base of smartphone users by picking up former feature-phone users. Its competition isn&#8217;t meant to be so much the iPhone 3GS, the Droid, or even the Pre &#8211; though in reality, of course, they are a healthy part of the competition. Palm wants to position it more as a killer of the &#8216;near-smartphones&#8217; out there, your Samsung Instincts and LG Rumors and whatnot. By that metric, the Pixi absolutely wins.</p>
<p>The Pixi is a good phone for anybody looking to step up to a their first smartphone without breaking the bank. As a phone for SMS, IM, some Facebook, and web browsing, it&#8217;s great and stands well above any non-smartphone or &#8216;near-smartphone.&#8217; Centro owners: You are going to love this phone.</p>
<p>Should Pre owners switch to the Pixi?<br />
No.</p>
<p>Conclusion</p>
<p>Now that I&#8217;ve worked all of the gripes out of my system, it&#8217;s time to come back to the main thing. The Pixi is a marvel of a little smartphone. It&#8217;s tiny, fun, and does more than a lot of phones at its price. That price is just very close to the ever-lowering cost of high-end smartphones.</p>
<p>If the Pre didn&#8217;t woo Palm Centro owners, the Pixi has a much better shot. The only question is whether or not it will achieve its real goal: winning new users who have never used a smartphone. I think it has a shot.</p>
<p>Pros:<br />
Small<br />
No, seriously, it&#8217;s small!<br />
Only $99<br />
webOS 1.3.1<br />
Cons:<br />
No WiFi<br />
Slightly slower than the Pre<br />
Slightly smaller screen than the Pre</p>
