Should You Upgrade from Centro to Pixi?

Are you thinking to upgrade from Palm Centro to Palm Pixi? It’s a smart question and let’s do a battle between Palm Pixi vs. Centro and make the choice clearer. We know it’s not fair to compare the Operating Systems on these two phones since the WebOS is completely new and the original Palm OS has been out since the Palm Pilot over 10 years ago. The Centro with Palm OS 5 still has its advantages over many so-called smartphones these days. However, there is no question that the WebOS is much more advanced in every way than the Palm OS.

Looking at the form factors – The Palm Centro has a small screen that supports 320×320 pixels while the Palm Pixi has a larger screen that supports 320×400 resolution. Not much bigger but every inch on the tiny screen estate makes viewing documents and playing games a much better experience.

We find the keyboards on both Pixi and Centro very similar. And it’s good thing not to change too much on something that’s so great. The full QWERTY keyboard right below the screen and small and some of you might consider the keys are cramped on such a small area. Jading from my experience with the Centro, the spaces between keys are minimal to make them fit into such a small smartphone. The Pixi has upgraded the keys to make them more reasonably spreaded out.

The best reason to upgrade to Palm Pixi is the new WebOS that makes mobile computing a reality on a small device. Emails, Web, Social Media, and Instant Messaging keep you connected with everyone and everywhere you go.

That’s the answer – you should definitely upgrade from Centro to Palm Pixi when it goes on sale later this year.
