Like or loathe their redesign, but Engadget did a great job on getting good reviews on the road in the past. Their latest victim is the Pixi – can it stack up?
Most important of all, it looks like Palm finally managed to get its keyboards back to the quality level seen on earlier Treos:
…
Admittedly, we weren’t expecting fireworks when we first laid eyes on this tiny QWERTY, but the experience of using it day to day has been nothing short of a revelation. You would think that the tight spacing and tiny keys would make typing a difficult task, but Palm has cleverly given the Pixi keyboard snappy tactile feedback and a substantial height boost, making tapping away a serious pleasure

Their final verdict stated that the Pixi – while not a bad device on its own – has issues especially with its larger (and similarly-priced) predecessor:
…
But the fact is that these phones are closely matched in both features and design — save for those items we just mentioned — and the Pre doesn’t lose out in a single category (unless you consider “smallest” to be a major factor, and even then you don’t have a lot ground to stand on). So, why buy the Pixi? Well we’re not really sure. Is it for Centro upgraders? Perhaps, but again, the Pre does exist. Palm offers a better device on the same network for nearly the same price… and that’s a fact we can’t ignore. We think there’s a lot of room for evolution in the world of webOS, both on Sprint and (hopefully) with other carriers, and we eagerly await a less lateral move.
