Anonymous, 24 Jul 2009Is this phone worth buying? Does the software freezes a lot... moreHi. I think the Pixon is a nice phone and very user friendly. It is straight forward with no funny stuff.. I've had a look at the features of the S8300. It looks very similar than the Pixon.. maybe just a newer version? I don't really see a lot of differences. I had no problems so far with freezing of my screen or anything. My biggest concern will be the battery life.. if you use your phone a lot, you will have to recharge often. I can't go through a day without charging. But except for that, it is a very nice phone. If you like a more "complicated" phone, I think the Omnia will be a good choice.. it definately have more "features".. One of my friends have one and she is very happy, though there is also small things that bothers her.. phone freezes and she have to turn it of and on, etc.. I think it is just a personal choice. The omnia definately has more memory built in and the memory card is bigger.. I was lucky, I got a 8G memory card with my Pixon.. the one that comes out standard, is 1G. Hope this helps. C

Yes I can send and receive withouth problems... it is just the opening of certain attachments that I can't do... on my laptop, it is no problem... I use Outlook.. maybe you should try and download your gmail software on your phone again? Have you checked on your phone's g-mail if under "Select", "Go to", "More views", that you have ticked "Outbox"?.. hope this will help. I love my Pixon... it's just the battery life that's not good... otherwise it is good... even the "Phonebook" issues I've got sorted... I've allocated under "Groups" and "Favourites" the contacts that I use most and that works fine!! If you find a solution for the g-mail attachments, please leave a comment here... thanks. C

I dunno why it does that but I guess maybe that's how it was built. Can you compose emails from your Pixon? I need to know coz mine can't. It pops up an error massage saying 'Gmail IMAP: Connection refused'.
                    Am I doing something wrong or have I entered the incorrect setting? Receiving emails problems is not a problem.

                      Hi... I've got g-mail on my Pixon... I can only open .jpg attachments.. If there is mails with pictures (not attachments), you can only see the words and not the pictures... Does anyone know if you need to change settings, or is there a limitation of what you can read? You can't open video clip attachments, either.. Can anyone help with this?

My guess is that its because I'm travelling in a speed camera-free place or it could be because I've haven't passed the speed limit. I'm gonna travel a long distance over the weekend so I'll give much details about that. The latest version can be downloaded to your mobile phone on: http://garminformobile.wisepilot.com
                                  I think you should download it using your phone though...
