Palm announce their second WebOS smartphone - the Pixi

09 September, 2009
Let's face it, Palm and their WebOS-driven Pre never really took off on our side of the Big Pond but that's simply because they went for a CDMA radio instead of GSM. That aside, Palm's WebOS is a wonderful...

it lacks so many features and Palm has been very slow releasing GSM version that I just got a BlackBerry instead.

    If you have had a Pre and had to deal with the slider being loos, you would jump all over the Pixi. The size of the Pre is just a little to fat and when the keyboard is open there are some sharp edges. So for me being a Pre user. I will have to say its time to upgrade

      I think this phone is not better than the palm pre as it lacks so many features like wi fi a better camera and many phones so I do not think it will attract many people

          Dan, 11 Sep 2009"While Palm have still not kept that promise for a GSM Pre.... moreNext month? Really? Not according to Palm who this morning were still saying 'in time for the Christmas Holidays' i.e. the week before Christmas when it won't interfere with the cash bonanza that is the cult of the iphone.

            "While Palm have still not kept that promise for a GSM Pre..."

            Err....yeah...they have. GSM Palm Pre is launching next month in the UK, slower than the US variant admittedly but better late than never. As for not gaining "market appreciation" here, it's widely tipped to be a genuine iPhone beater and will be promoted heavily by O2 (see their most recent sales brochure - page 2 is a big fat Pre advert!)

              We don't need Pixi, we need your Pre's GSM version.

                  Iphone meet blackberry ... Palm needs to get back to the drawing board and invest in product design instead of ripping idea's off innovative companies... pathetic.

I´ve used Palm PDAs and phones all my life and agree they make an excellent device but why can´t I enjoy a GSM version of the Pre at the same time as the CDMA users? The result is that I am now chomping at the bit for a QWERTY Android phone and let´s face it; there are a plethora of devices about to be released, personally I think we´re gonna see an avalanche of releases in the last quarter / first quarter of next year. So we´re going to have MORE choice very soon. Plus, we are assuredly looking at better expandability, CPU spec and internal RAM. Palm need to address the global market asap. That´s their problem.

                                  Agree with point that gsmarena.com got it wrong on the take up of GSM Pre´s as well.

                                    Lol! That is the funniest bit of news I´ve read in quite a while! First off... this thing is hideous! It´s even uglier than the pre... And what about the f@ggotty-@ss name!!! pixi??? They should have called it the "fairy"! And no wifi? I swear, I thought it was April's fools day!!
