I sure hope "Improved Performance (Phone & CAL)" will make my Pixi stop lagging and throwing "too many cards" errors. I love the hardware but the OS is barely usable.
@foxyNinja Yeah, but from a user perspective the OS is what drags. Like I said, I love the physical phone and excellent keyboard, but Palm lost me on any future sales by crippling this poor thing and souring me on their shtick.
@iCello Yes, and hardware also is what I physically hold in my hand, and I like the phone itself. How are you sure the processor is to blame? There are constant rumors that an update will solve the Pixi's issues, which implies that the OS isn't performing correctly. Thus, the OS sucks. Even if it is the processor, all I know is using the phone is an exercise in frustration. I will miss having a thin, light smartphone with an excellent keyboard when I throw this dud in a lake.
@VIRGINA You should have got a Pre, because basically what you seem to be saying is something to the effect of "my computer is too slow, the maker really crippled this thing by throwing a slower processor in there. "
The Rip is the latest addition to the Boogie eWriter line, devices that let you scribble notes and drawings and can be wiped away with the press of a button.

@VIRGINA I think you may have it backwards... the OS is extremely usable, the pixi's hardware just isn't fast enough to give you the great experience.
@VIRGINA wouldnt that be because of the slow proc. Which is hardware

@dannyry
and the pre's superior performance to the pixi clearly proves this is not the OS's fault.
@dannyry palm should have waited to release a down-market phone until they had optimized webos to deal with the slower processor.
