Palm PixiThe WebOS is literally paving the path for Palm’s phones; and it is no surprise, the OS is well made, intuitive and fun to use. Currently the Palm Pre is the only device available locally that uses the WebOS, the other WebOS phone, the Pixi, has yet to be launched in Europe. So there are no Palm Pixi deals in the UK for now.

About the New Phone

The Palm Pixi has been around for a while now and people have been looking forward to this phone. It’s small, compact and looks easy to carry around (it is); all the while, it has a lot of excellent functions and features that make it very usable. This would make it a decent smart phone, but what we have not gotten to is how it looks.

The Pixi looks astoundingly cool. The form is very smooth and has a very good flow, each curve of the device is cut and shaped to add to its cuteness. The colors of the device and texture of the plastic is both elegant and hardy, giving the device a very post-modern vibe.

Specs and More

A review of the Palm Pixi would not be complete without mentioning the amazing work done in making the full QWERTY keyboard. It is easy to use. That should very well sum it up, but it does not mention how small the actual keyboard is or how evenly spaced each button is. Despite the hardware limitations Palm managed to make a very ergonomically functional design.

The rest of the specs sound mid to low tier smart phone; a 2.63 inch capacitive touch screen, a 600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7627 processor, a 2 mega pixel camera with LED flash, micro USB, Bluetooth, etc. But factor in the fact that this phone is only 55 x 111 x 10.85 mm, then you have an amazing spec sheet.

The only things missing from this phone is a microSD card slot and WiFi support. It does have 8GB of internal storage though.
