Its supports a native Facebook SNS application and a one-view Palm Synergy that integrates its LinkIn phonebook contacts with calendar, Yahoo contacts and instant messaging.
For all practical purposes, Palm could have named this a Palm Pre Lite or Mini. It even comes with interchangeable back covers with an initial five designs that should appeal to the trendy crowd with an urge to coordinate the hand with their wardrobe for the day.
Features at a Glance
The Pixi inherits a number of identical features from the Palm Pre and is the second Palm smartphone to use its new WebOS platform after junking its older PalmOS. It runs on a newer Qualcomm MSM7627 processor clocked at 600 MHz with a dedicated graphics engine.
But with a lower price point of around €150 that sits well with its target markets, Palm does some downsizing on the Pre to make it that affordable. Lighter than the Palm pre by 3.5g at 99.5g, slimmer and more pocketable at 111 x 55 x 10.9 mm, the Pixi loses the WiFi so no hotspot surfing.
But it’s still a 3G phone on the tri band UMTS with HSDPA at 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA at 5.76 Mbps as well as a 2G phone on GSM with class 10 GPRS/EDGE data speeds of up to 236.8 Kbps. Local data connectivity gets Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR for wireless data transfers at high speeds and microUSB 2.0 for the wired option. There’s SatNav with a built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS support
Its display gets a 2.3-inch Wide-QVGA capacitive touchscreen with 256k colors, an accelerometer for auto rotate viewing in portrait or landscape orientation as well as a proximity sensor for touchscreen auto-disable when held against your face in a call. In contrast to the Pre’s 3 megapixel camera, the Pixi’s imaging gets a more basic 2 megapixel fixed focus snapper with LED flash.
Multimedia comes with media players that support popular media content formats for audio and video playback. With a 3.5mm audio jack and A2DP support over Bluetooth, you can have wired and wireless stereo listening.
