It’s been a long wait for Verizon customers what want to get their hands on the latest WebOS phone. And the Palm Pixi is definitely coming to Verizon Wireless next year. Something that many of us have been wondering – does the Verizon Palm Pixi has Wi-Fi? Will use it a faster processor than the Pixi offered on Sprint? Many leaked documents have indicated that this Verizon Pixi phone does have Wi-Fi. Yup, that’s a big plus for Verizon customers. Sprint users, you would have to get the more expensive Pre if you want Wi-Fi connection. With new WiFi capable Pixi, you can download music, videos, and apps at a much faster speed. I just can’t wait.

Palm Pixi is the Best Smartphone for College Students

There are many smartphones out there – iPhone, Palm Pre, Blackberry Curve, and T-Mobile G1. But for college students, Pixi is the best smartphone for college students in terms of price and usability.

If you already have an iPod, wouldn’t you think iPhone is a better choice? That’s understandable. A familiar interface is a good for a smooth transition. However, all smart phones are very self-intuitive to operate. Price wise, it still costs $200 with a contract.

Blackberry Curve is the least expensive model among all Blackberry phones with full QWERTY keyboard. However, data plan for Blackberry is generally more expensive than other smart phones.

You can forget about G1, it’s already outdated. There are tons of Android phones coming out in Q4.

Why do I think Palm Pixi is the best smart phone for college students? Touchscreen + Full QWERTY Keyboard + $0.00 out of pocket – getting all these already prove you are a smart student.

Is Palm Pre Better than Palm Pixi

Both Palm Pixi and Palm Pre are using the same WebOS and the major different is the form factor. While the Pre has a bigger screen and slide-out keyboard, the Pixi phone has a slightly smaller screen estate but the keyboard is right below the screen. Sure the Pre costs at least $100 more than the Pixi. So, is Palm Pre better than Palm Pixi?

Palm Pixi will be carrying a much lower price tag it comes out later this year. Charging $199 after rebates, Palm Pre is obviously a more expensive phone and targets those who already used a smartphone before and would like to gain a better experience via WebOS. And for those who never use any smart phones like Windows Mobile, Blackberry, or Palm, which one would you choose, Pixi or Pre? What matter to you the most – price, size, or carrier?

I don’t think the Palm Pre is better than Palm Pixi, although the only difference is the design. In fact, like many of you I would love to use the QWERTY keyboard without having to slide it out every time I want to type something. The Pixi is still compact and thin and fits in any pocket or small purse. As for the Palm Pre, every time you need to text, email, or simply type something, you would have to pull out the keyboard, which makes the phone longer and something can be annoying. Everything else, I just can’t think of anything that you can do on the Pre that can’t be done on the Pixi.

My overall preference? Palm Pixi is actually better than the Pre – better design and better price. I especially like the none-hidden keyboard.
