Pixi Plus comes with the same look and feel the Pixi model has, the only difference it’s on the weight: Pixi Plus has almost 108 grams, while Pixi had just 100 grams. We cannot discuss too much about Pixi Plus because Wi-Fi support is the only important thing that this model has against his old ancestor. So, a final recap of Pixi Plus specs:

-full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.63-inches TFT capacitive touchscreen(320 x 400 pixels) with 256k colors.

-2 megapixel camera.

-600Mhz Qualcomm MSM7627 processor, Palm WEB OS(1.3.1) and 256 Mb RAM memory.

-300 apps available from the App Catalog.

-EDGE, GPRS, Bluetooth 2.1, 3G, microUSB, 3.5mm port and now, Wi-Fi.

Palm Pre Plus is a totally new model for us, which keeps the design of the Pixi and comes with a new feature, the sliding QWERTY keyboard. The capacitive touchscreen have now 3.1-inches, but supports 16M colors, not 256k as the Pixi models.

At the back of the phone is a 3.15 megapixel camera equipped with enhanced fixed focus and LED flash. Is capable of shooting photos at 2048×1536 pixels resolution and features Video Capture and even Edit Clips feature. Don’t freak out Pixi phones have this feature as well.

Pre Plus comes with an ARM Cortex A8 600 Mhz processor with PowerVR SGX graphics support and uses webOS 1.3.5. Internals have 512 MB RAM and 16Gb of memory. Multitasking is also available.

Connectivity options available are the same as Pixi Plus: 3G, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm and microUSB port. Gps is also available through A-Gps support and directions or satellite views are provided by Google Maps.

Both phones seem to have Mobile Hotspot feature available, but according to Palm official site this is only at Verizon Wireless only.

Palm Pixi Plus estimated price is $400, while Palm Pre Plus is near $600 at Verizon Wireless, starting this May.

On the first look the smartphone seem nice and easy to use, it comes with a full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.63-inches TFT capacitive touchscreen(320 x 400 pixels) with 256k colors. The phone is made by plastic, weights almost 100grams and is quite thin having just 0.43-inches thick.

On the top of the device we find the power button and the 3.5mm jack, while on the right side the microUSB port and volume rocker buttons.

The 2 megapixel camera is on the back of the phone, but is nothing impressive(comes with LED flash and supports video recording).

Pixi comes with a Qualcomm MSM7627 processor at 600Mhz and a 256 Mb RAM memory and runs his native Palm WEB Operating System(1.3.1). Internal memory has 8Gb, but microSD card is not supported. A good thing is you can choose up to 300 apps from the App Catalog and every week Palm is updating with new ones.

Connectivity lacks Wi-Fi feature and features just Bluetooth 2.1, EDGE, GPRS, 3G, microUSB port.

We can say Palm Pixi is not a phone that you will want to use it these days, when iPhone, Htc, Nokia or others are available and exceed this model on almost all features. That’s maybe why Pixi can be found in stores at prices near 100$ or even 30$(after some discounts.
