Palm Pixi Impressions

After going into a Sprint store to get service on my phone, I remembered that I haven't yet looked at the newest addition to the WebOS family, the Palm Pixi! After making my way over to the phone (right next to the Pre), I couldn't help but noticing how small the keyboard was. It looks to be a little bit bigger than the Pre, but when it isn't under a slider it looks that much smaller. Opening a few applications and swiping them away, there was some noticeable lag, but that might have been the fact that so many people play with the phones all the time. Opening up a message to try out the keyboard, I could type fairly accurate with only a few mistakes, but that was going a little slower than normal in account of the small buttons. The missing pixels from the Pre are noticeable, but most people won't be too bothered by this. The power button was easy enough to find, and the phone felt good in the hand. The phone had a much more solid, yet thinner, feel than the Pre, which is a good thing. Swiping between the menus and hitting buttons was easy with the nice and crisp capacitive touch screen. Overall, I would make sure to try out the phone in the store and make sure you would be able to use the keyboard, and you don't need Wifi.
