The keyboard is even better than the one on the Pre, and the hardware quality feels a lot better. Other than that, I have to say the Pixi is probably not really worth it over the Pre.

Good to hear the keyboard is good.

Most all reviews rave about the keyboard (especially for its size), but the form factor looks fantastic to me as well, If we get a Pixi-styled phone with a slightly larger screen + Pre internals, I'm sold!

Haha, I had that exact same conversation today with Sam. Pre internals + larger screen = awesome

I don't even really mind the smaller screen. I would just love for it to have the faster processor and wi-fi.

Like others have pointed out, the keyboard is supposed to be awesome. I also happen to like the form factor of this phone but I'm disappointed by the smaller screen. It's a tradeoff. I think the Pre pretty much bests it in every other feature.

The only thing I think the Pixi bests the pre in a keyboard clickiness. Button presses feel deliberate. However, the key size itself is way too small. The display looks a little duller too me as well. Factor that in with the lack of wifi and less RAM I'm going to go ahead and say pass on this one. Battery life should be wicked good though, so this is going to be great for people coming from Centro's or getting their first smartphone. It's just not powerful enough for someone with heavy duty demands.

The keyboard, the form factor, and the price tag ($30 at Walmart) are all pretty attractive to me. Unfortunately Sprint and the lack of WiFi are both deal breakers.
