Overall the Palm Pixi Plus ranks in as an 'Average' smartphone. While the design and performance were decent and the user interface was great, the features were a bit lacking. This is not a smartphone to be scoffed at, however, and is easily a...

Some folks have said that Palm would be in a very different place today if the Pre and Pixi were more powerful phones to keep up with the iPhone and Android juggernauts. That might well be true, and it makes it even more unfortunate just how badly...

The Pixi Plus succeeds very well as a less expensive version of the Palm Pre, albeit with a smaller screen and slower processor. Palm’s webOS is a joy to use and media playback for both video and music is pretty decent, though no-one will be...

If you love the iPhone because it is easy to use and intuitive, the Pixi Plus will suit, with the added bonus of a smaller chassis and a smaller price tag. For this reason it’s hard to beat. But, if you want to choose from loads of apps and need a...

If this were released even 6 months ago when Verizon's version was released, this could've been one interesting handset for AT&T customers as their Android lineup was non-existent. Since then, we've been introduced to a myriad of decent...

Despite a few very minor issues, the Palm Pre and Pixi have done an excellent job of putting multi-tasking into the hands of the user. Partner an extemely friendly interface with good responsiveness and you've got a prime example of how to manage...

The Palm Pixi Plus has a superb operating system, is very intuitive to use and yet is quirky at the same time. The screen is a bit too small for good multimedia use, and the keyboard not the best to type on. Stylish? Yes. Ergonomic? Not really. Palm...

The Palm Pixi Plus is a touch-screen smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard. AT&T subscribers looking for something affordable but not stripped of features will likely find the Pixi Plus to be appealing. Even more appealing is that it is free when...
