Include in Package Box Packed Palm Pixi Phone Battery Charger Data Cable Mannuals 6 New Colourful Hard Covers (Free) from hitesh 2. Looks Yes for Looks it is a small Sleek trendy Business Class Phone i would like to rate it 4.5/5 ++ Very Well done with charger, Its a small cute looking charger Packing of the Phone & Box is also Very Good At 1st it was hard to find chargers poin on the phone, its so good & dust proof Even body of the Pixi is scratch proof still i am using covers for it Handset wa much smaller than i thought it just came in my palms 3. HardwareHardware is Good, i can say better than BB as i have used it, After a press there is a gap of 1sec to resposd but its ok Display is Awesome Very Clear Touch is very Good, In fact not like Corby, its a very good touch screen unmatched Keyboard, A very Good Keyboard for typing, u don't get jumble up with keys while typing, So good for people who does a lot of sms 8GB Memory Included is't it good, But u get only 7GB to use, seems 1gb is occupied by WEB OS Camera is Also Good Accotding to 2megapixel Also has a Flash No Wifi Support 1x Data Working Full Fledge Voice Calls are also Very Clear, if u are talking on speaker phone the other person wont know u r on a speaker phone as it doesn't gets echo Listeneing to Musing is Good, Very Clear Sound but Volume is Low Bluetooth is there but only for Voice Calls, File tr not possible 4. Software Its A WEBoS so people who have used pre it is similar to that Infact interface is very good i like the way u have to close the application Even notication system is also good no need for bb service pushemails is also too good, i am using gmail & its working flawless Gtalk & Facebook pugins all incuded already Phone book u have to upload from Gmail online no need of desktop manager No games pre installed Havent been able to explore it much with 3rd party softwares & games so cant commen 5. BatteryI feel battery as most vital for this high end phone With 24hrs data on Battery Goes for a Day only With Partly Data & High calling it goes 24hrs With Data off Easily 1.5day with moderate Talk This is all i am getting in my mind right now, if u have any question u can ask me :Riendo: Donts About this Phone Do not Soft Reset or Hard Reset this phone as the phone has been unlocked to work with Service Provider In India 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadik 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 Good review parin. The lack of Wi-Fi is a big minus for me for a phone of this range. 2 MP camera is ok in a business phone but Wi-Fi is a must! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dj 25 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 thats what i was wondering... if you cant do a soft reset then anytime ur battery runs out completely, you have lost the programming forever... hard reset however is what makes more sense staying away from... good post... have fun on ur purchase Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 i will clear it more properly you can do hard reset also if anything happens soft reset is never a problem here is how to do hard reset go to device menu>>reset >> partial erase , it will remove all apps and settings and will restore ur handset to default settings did lot of times no meid reset second way is to use webos repair utility , amazing tool , rectifeis all erros in webos , doesnt touch meid what u should stay away from is , donot use official webos doctor as it nv resets the phone which causes bricking 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 817 Report post Posted June 24, 2010 ^^ Parin have you overloaded the device with ruining apps, as it supports multitasking (i guess) unlike earlier palm which closes app on exit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parin 857 Report post Posted June 25, 2010 No haven't loaded any extra application But webos graphic interface uses memory But not a big problem Only face this while searching phone book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted June 25, 2010 Pixi can do multi tasking same like PRE also i like the way we close the apps in pixi or in pre. Just throw them away from top screen @parin :- your pixi is having treo8 rom, which have activation bypass @Muffi, his Pixi is running on E$N mode. so I am keeping it as easy as possible.
