Key Features
- Fast 3G connectivity thanks to Sprint's EV–DO, Rev A network
- Palm's webOS platform lets you manage multiple applications at a time, unlike any other mobile platform today. It lets you keep multiple activities open and instantly flip from one to another using card view.
- Linked contacts: With Palm Synergy, you maintain a single view by linking your contacts from a variety of sources, so accessing them is easier than ever. For example, if you have the same contact listed in your Outlook, Google and Facebook accounts, Synergy recognizes that they're the same person and links the information together, presenting it to you as one listing.
- Layered calendars: Palm Synergy lets you see your calendars can be seen on their own or layered together in a single view--combining work, family, friends, sports teams, or other interests. You can toggle to look at one calendar at a time, or see them all at a glance.
- Combined messaging: See all your conversations with the same person in a chat-style view, even if it started in IM and you want to reply with a text message. You can also see who's active in a buddy list right from contacts, and start a new conversation with just one touch.
- Combined e-mail: Check your Outlook e-mail with Microsoft Direct Push Technology and HTML support. Get wireless e-mail access to popular commercial POP3 and IMAP accounts like AOL, Gmail, and Yahoo! All your e-mail accounts can be viewed together, or separately from one simple application. Synergy even lets you see IM presence directly from an e-mail.
- Universal search: Simply start typing to begin searching your contacts, applications, Google, Google Maps, Wikipedia and Twitter. Universal search narrows down the possible results as you type, so it's easier to find what you need.
 The Palm webOS offers the ability to keep multiple applications open at once with "activity cards," so you can do more than one thing without losing your place. |  Palm Pixi has the ability to pull in your online calendars from places like Facebook, Google and Office Outlook and layer them into one view of your whole day. |  Each person's contact information is pulled in from places like Facebook, Google, Microsoft Office Outlook, and LinkedIn, and combined under one entry. |
- Unobtrusive notifications: When important things come up or new updates arrive, you'll receive notifications at the bottom of your screen. You will know what is going on without being completely interrupted or losing your train of thought.
- GPS for built-in location: Find things to do and people around you, right from where you're standing--like a nearby place for dinner after a late client meeting, or the closest bar where you can meet up with friends. You can even look up an address for a contact or from a calendar event, and map the location simply by tapping it. The Palm Pixi includes the Google Maps application on the phone, and it's also compatible with Sprint Navigation for turn-by-turn directions, and points of interest searches.
- 2.63-inch multi-touch screen with a vibrant 18-bit color 320 x 400 resolution TFT display. Gesture area enables simple, intuitive gestures for navigation.
- Accelerometer and proximity sensor: An accelerometer automatically orients web pages and photos to your perspective so you can view them in landscape or portrait mode. Watch videos in landscape mode as well. The proximity sensor automatically disables the touch screen and turns off the display whenever you put the phone up to your ear.
- Exposed QWERTY keyboard for fast messaging
- 2-megapixel camera with a flash and extended depth of field technology. Other features include auto exposure, auto white balance, and geotagging capabilities.
- 8 GB internal memory (non-expandable) with approximately 7 GB user available memory. Palm Pixi also works as a USB drive when plugged into a PC. You can simply drag and drop your PC media and documents onto the device.
- Amazon MP3 Store enables you to download stereo-quality non-DRM protected tracks instantly to your wireless phone.
- Bluetooth connectivity (version 2.1) includes profiles for communication headset, hands-free car kits, and the A2DP Bluetooth profile--enabling you to wirelessly stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones or speaker dock.
- Incredibly fast web browser brings you full websites the way they were meant to be seen
- Voice dialing capabilities
- Organizer tools including calendar, notes, voice memo, tasks, calculator
- Ringer switch easily silences the device with one touch
- Browse the App Catalog from your phone and download apps right over the air. Choose from a variety of titles designed for Palm webOS, many of which work together with other apps on the phone. Find apps like OpenTable, Yelp, or WHERE, just to name a few... and new ones are being added all the time.
- Palm Services automatically backs up your phone so you have a copy of your important data. You can also remotely erase your data if your phone is lost or stolen. And you get software updates that make it easy to stay up to date with the latest enhancements.
- 3.5mm headset jack
- Wireless charging: While Palm Pixi comes with a charger included in the box, Palm's optional Touchstone charging dock can recharge the Pixi's batteries without connecting any cords to it. The first inductive charging solution for phones, the Palm Touchstone, along with the Touchstone compatible back cover (both sold separately), allows Palm Pixi to be set on top of the dock without worrying about connection, orientation or fit. The device remains active while charging, allowing access to the touch screen, movies or video, or the speakerphone option.

do pros overweigh cons?, 2010-05-26
This phone was $24.99, so much of my review will be based on that super low price. If I had paid $100.00 or more, this might be a different story. I've had this phone for about 5 months now so I'm pretty familiar with it.
Ok, first, the good features: It has a full QWERTY keyboard. It has a very responsive touch screen - the screen is bright, clear and very easy to see. It's also simple to navigate (once you figure out how, initially). The phone multi-tasks. You can have any song from your iTunes for free as a ringtone or alarm or other alert (as opposed to the iPhone charging $0.99 every time you use a song). The calendar syncs well. The camera is really good, as is the video recorder. Messaging is easy and convenient. Emails and alerts are prompt and obvious upon receipt but can also be easily hidden if desired. The internet is easy. The speaker phone and other sounds are usually nice and loud when you turn the volume up. The navigation system is actually extremely helpful and accurate!
The not-so-good: It takes a while to re-boot. There are really annoying "apps" on there, like NASCAR and other stuff that I will never look at, but you can't delete them. Really, you can't. If you find a way, please let me know!!! The multi-tasking is often bug-y, meaning that it will sometimes tell you to close extra "cards", which are essentially "Windows", beecause the phone is overloaded, even if there are none open. The outside of the phone which looks like a case, starts slowly peeling off of the phone in spots. It's VERY annoying. I got my first replacement 2 months after I purchased the phone and I do take good care of it. The peeling (on mine, at least) begins on the top of the phone where the on/off/lock/unlock button is, which makes it very difficult to actually press that button. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's more frustrating than you might think, and that leads me to my next complaint. The only way to lock the phone and then turn it from a black screen to a visible screen (to my knowledge) is that tiny on/off button on the top, which is very inconvenient and actually pretty odd. I'm on my second cover (they just popped out the back and replaced it at the store) which, after a week or so, began to peel again - at the on/off switch, by the volume controls, and by the charger door - it's acually sort of broken there. It broke so bad the last time that it wouldn't even close anymore. Just stuck out permanently. I'm about to get my second replacement. I asked them if they'd just give me a different phone because I didn't want to have to come in and replace the phone every few months until my renewal was up. They said no.
So, those complaints aside, at $24.99 I suppose it's a good phone. I don't know if I'd get it again, but there are some features that make me really like it. The "case" feature of the phone is poorly made and there are some bugs but I've had much worse phones. If you are looking for a touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, a compact device, a good camera, fast internet, good call quality, and can put the weird bugs and sub-par phone "case" construction aside, you probably will enjoy this phone. If you don't care about a touch screen or a QWERTY, there are other really great phones out there, and don't bother with this one.
I'm really glad I got this phone!, 2010-05-25
My sprint contract was up and I was debating between the Palm Pixi or the Blackberry Curve 8530. The Palm Pixi was so much more appealing to me. I love the size, the touchscreen, the free apps (I've downloaded almost 30 and counting!), the keyboard (it looks small but is actually really nice and easy to type on), and the clear and vibrant screen. The only downside is the battery life but this is a smartphone so that is to be expected. Right now I have the green touchstone back cover and plan to get the wireless charger, so that will definitely help out a lot. The green touchstone back cover gives my phone a certain character which makes me love my phone even more. The multi-tasking feature is Fantastic!
My sisters opted to get the Blackberry Curve and they love it but it wasn't for me.I say to each his own but they always like to play with my phone...
My Dad also got the Palm Pixi which shocked me because to put it nicely, he's not on the up and up when it comes to things like this. For about a week after he received the phone we was so frustrated because he didn't know how to do the different gestures, how to open his e-mail or even how to place a call. I had to sit down with him and show him how to use the phone and now he is loving it. Some might think that the phone is way to small for a man with big hands but my dad uses it with ease.

The Palm Pixi is great little phone but IF you live on your phone
and basically need a computer in your pocket. ~THEN STOP READING~
this isn't the Iphone or droid
The Pixi works best with people who occasionally enjoy toying with
their phones when they are bored in a waiting room or in the car (not driving)
don't get me wrong the phone has many apps and functions that
your average phone can't touch. I enjoyed it a lot. Many reviews
knock it for the so called "lag" when you have multiple apps open
3-5 seconds isn't terrible. or people complain about the screen size
come on it's a phone IF you need a TV in your pocket then get a
Iphone or droid. The Pixi's screen is great very clear
The only problem is the battery life but then again I haven't put it down (which doesn't help)
But there are a couple of functions you can turn off and dim to help
PROS: many apps, great functions, touch screen, size, keypad
webOS,
CON: battery life (but not bad)
update:
I download preware and download a lot of patches for the phone (made it my own style)
also added uber kerels and a Govnah app
then set the compcache to performance
min freq 122.8 MHz
max freq 600MHz
compcache 24mb
now the my Pixi is faster then ever without WiFi
Out of love with this Palm, 2010-05-05
Let me start this review off by saying, I am a Palm fan. I loved my Treo 755p with gusto for over two years. So when it finally went belly up and two replacement phones from Sprint did the same after 1 month - I figured it was time to upgrade to bigger (Smaller?) and better things. Boy, was I wrong!
Initially, I felt like the Pixi was almost *too* small. It was hard to type on, and my text messages looked more like a 2 year old smacking the keyboard than an intelligent 20-something trying to send a message. Nonetheless, I carried on - confident that I'd come to be just as proficient on this phone as I was on my last.
It never clicked. After 8 months of this phone, I admit defeat. I am not impressed with the quality, speed, or features of this phone. I'd take my brick-like 755p back any day.
The Good: It's tiny. Elf-like as a matter of fact. The colors on the screen are vibrant and I like the ease with which it synced with my gmail and my google calendars. I also love the quality of the photos and the built-in flash that my last phone didn't have.
The Bad: Ringer volume and actual speaking volume should never be the same. I can't tell you how many times I've turned up the volume on this thing to hear someone on a phone call and then nearly been deafened the next morning when my alarm went off because the volume was now set to super-insanely-loud because I changed the speaker volume. That feature is awful. Next up - durability. I admittedly nose-dived this phone once - on CARPET. It has a huge scratch on the screen, some interestingly gel-like piece fell off the top of it this morning and the final indignity - a plastic piece around the charger area came out, resulting in a lovely bulge on the side of the phone. Finally, the speed. After a great "update" from Sprint - this thing is slower than a snail in taffy. It takes a good 10 seconds for any feature to open up - calendar, text messaging, photos - you name it.
In closing, I hate this thing. Hate it so much in fact that I'm purchasing a blackberry just to get away from it until my contract is up and Sprint has another phone that I want - or I go screaming to AT&T in search of greener pastures. Buyer beware on this one!
A very smart phone, 2010-04-10
I have an ipod touch at home that I use daily and extensively. And My wife has an HTC Hero with Android.
And since I received this Palm Pixi with WebOS, I got completely addicted to its amazing simplicity.
True you are limited in terms of applications, but you the most useful ones are available for free.
And what you get, is everyday a phone with the greatest ergonomics.
I love the calendar sync option that works very well. The installation was simple. The packaging was amazing. The phone design is very successful around me.
Having this phone now in a market dominated by apple and google gives the same feeling as with my mcbook 10 years ago: You are in the margin, but you have the satisfaction to get the smartest product and in a meeting, you are the only one without an iphone or a blackberry.
