How many of you have it? Do you like it? Have you had any problems with it yet? Have you loaded up preware or anything on it? I have one coming to me on Monday and so does my girlfriend.
 
I'm actually thinking of picking one up this weekend. The price tag doesn't seem to terrible (free). I played with one in the store for a few minutes while waiting for my wife in the mall the other day and it seems kind of cool.
I guess after a couple of weeks I can make a final judgement but the 10 minutes or so in the store kinda made me think it might be worth it.
 
Sis in law has the Pre on Sprint. Which is just a few more features than the Pixi. I like it. Once I figured out how to close apps, (slide them away from you), it was fast, great camera, and the chat, email, and texts are all organized by person rather than application. When my flip phone dies, its either a Pre Plus or a Pixi Plus for me.
 
I've had my Pixi Plus for a few months and overall, I am pretty happy with it. This was my first "smart phone" so it took a bit getting used to. Compared to my old Voyager, it did run slow, took a couple seconds to open text messages, and that's the same with loading apps. I'm not to sure how that stacks up with other smart phones, but it is something that I can live with. My main reason for getting one was the shape and overall design of the phone. The round edges and the rubberized back case made it ideal for resisting scratches. I figured the Pre would get scratched up in no time since it goes in the same pocket as my knife. But with the Pixi, I just put on a screen cover (covers from the edges to the keyboard) and it's holding up fine.

Actually I am on my second Pixi, my knife crushed the screen when I was trying to break dance under the influence. I haven't used Preware yet, mostly because I haven't had the time to do so, but it is in my future.
 
i looked at one the other day, and the charger is very cool.

its a magnetic "stump" that you just set the phone on.
 
I prefer my Blackberry 9550 Storm 2. I was looking at the Palm Pixi Plus but it is too light and too small. I need a phone with some heft to it.
