The Pixi consistently found our location in a minute or less as we used the device around San Francisco. Using Sprint Navigation, we plotted a course from CNET's downtown offices to the Golden Gate Bridge, and the app was fast to provide us with a route and checked for traffic when instructed. Once on the road, the 3D maps provided a clear view and the Pixi did a good job of tracking our movements. We wish the voice prompts were just a tad louder and text-to-speech pronunciation of numbered streets in particular were a little off.
However, it got us to our destination and was able to quickly reroute us after we missed several turns. Multimedia Palm didn't make any major changes to the media player. Like the Pre, the Pixi offers 8GB of internal memory with about 7GB available to the user; there is no expansion slot.
There are a couple of ways you can get your multimedia files onto the Pixi. First, Pixi doubles as a storage device, so you can sideload music and video by connecting the smartphone to your computer via a USB cable, selecting the USB Drive option and then dragging and dropping your files. When you connect your Pixi to your computer, you'll also see the Media Sync option. When the Palm Pre first debuted, you could select this option to automatically launch iTunes and then sync any non-DRM tracks no videos from iTunes to the Pre.
However, as some of you may know, Palm and Apple have since played a cat-and-mouse game with features. Apple released an iTunes that disabled the capability but then Palm struck back its own update and fix; this back-and-forth has gone through several cycles with no real solution. As of this publish date, iTunes 9. However, there are third-party applications that will allow you do to do this, such as DoubleTwist. Drama aside, music quality on the Pixi is quite good.
We plugged our Bose On-Ear Headphones into the standard 3. We also checked out an MP4 video trailer of the new Sherlock Holmes movie and enjoyed clear picture with synchronized audio. The Pixi also offers a dedicated YouTube app and Sprint TV for more entertainment, and though the screen is small comparatively speaking, we were still able to enjoy the clips.
The Pixi is equipped with 2-megapixel camera and unfortunately, with the lower camera, the picture quality suffers. Images had a bit of a hazy look to them and colors weren't as rich or vibrant as those taken with the Pre's 3-megapixel camera. Editing options are still nonexistent as well as video recording capabilities. However, you can upload your photos to Facebook or share them via e-mail or MMS. For the most part, we enjoyed clear calls and despite its diminutive name, the Pixi can crank out some serious volume.
There was very little background noise and during breaks in the conversation, the line was so silent at times that we weren't always sure our caller was still on the line. They were and we didn't have any dropped calls during our testing period. That said, there were a couple of occasions where calls sounded a bit muffled and callers reported that they could hear an echo at times.
Speakerphone quality was OK, but there was a slight hollowness to the sound. We could still make out what our friends were saying, and they reported no major issues. The Pixi is the first handset to ship with Qualcomm's MSM chipset, which combines a MHz applications processor with a MHz modem processor that can take some of the load off by taking advantage of 3G networks. Palm said that with this chipset it didn't anticipate any major difference in speed or multitasking between the Pixi and the Pre, which had a TI OMAP processor and a dual-band MSMA processor, but we did notice a difference.
There were longer delays when launching applications and the transition between screens and menus didn't feel quite as smooth. While we were still able to open up to eight applications, there were slight stalls and hiccups for even simple tasks such as opening an e-mail or switching to weekly view in the Calendar, and that was with only one other app running the background.
The sluggishness wasn't constant and though the Pixi isn't meant for the power user, it was still a little frustrating. The Palm Pixi features a user-replaceablemAh lithium ion battery with a rated talk time of 5 hours and up to 14 days of standby time.
